The Eastern White Pine contains various chemical compounds, including resveratrol found in the cambium. The needles are rich in vitamin C, exceeding the amount found in lemons and oranges. Pine tar, produced from burning pine roots or branches, is used for medicinal purposes such as treating dandruff and removing tapeworms.
The Eastern White Pine has been historically used for lumber, particularly in the 19th century for building and construction due to its soft texture and ease of working. It was also used for masts in the British Royal Navy. The tree's needles and cambium are edible, with the cambium being used as flour or added to stretch other starchy products. Pine tar is used for medicinal purposes, and the tree's resin has antimicrobial properties.
Pinus strobus seeds are typically sown in the fall or early spring.
The Eastern White Pine can grow up to 70 meters (230 feet) in natural precolonial stands, with the tallest presently living specimens reaching heights of 50-57.55 meters (164 feet 1 inch - 188 feet 10 inches).
The Eastern White Pine thrives in well-drained or sandy soils and humid climates. It can also grow in boggy areas and rocky highlands. It is found in the nearctic temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome of eastern North America.
