white pine
Five-needled evergreen tree
White pine refers to several North American pine species with soft, light-colored wood, especially the eastern white pine.
The trees are tall with long, flexible needles in bundles of five.
The wood is prized for construction and furniture—easy to work, takes paint well, and resists warping: The old farmhouse had white pine floors throughout.
