The Eastern White Pine contains various chemicals, including resveratrol in the cambium. Its needles are rich in vitamin C, exceeding the amount found in lemons and oranges. Pine tar, produced from slowly burning pine roots or branches, contains antimicrobial properties and is used for various medicinal purposes.
The Eastern White Pine has a variety of uses. Historically, it was used for timber, particularly for masts in ships due to its straight grain and lack of knots. It is also used in lumber, construction, and for making furniture. Medicinally, the needles make an excellent herbal tea rich in vitamin C. The cambium is edible and has been used as flour or added to stretch other starchy products. Pine tar mixed with beer can be used to remove tapeworms or nematodes, and when mixed with sulfur, it treats dandruff. Pine resin has been used by various tribes to waterproof baskets, pails, and boats, and also to treat infections.
The Eastern White Pine can grow up to 70 meters (230 feet) tall in natural precolonial stands, with the tallest presently living specimens reaching 57.55 meters (188 feet 10 inches).
The Eastern White Pine thrives in nearctic temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome of eastern North America. It prefers well-drained or sandy soils and humid climates but can also grow in boggy areas and rocky highlands.
