Eastern White Pine is the largest pine tree in Virginia. It grows over 100 feet and has a straight trunk up to four feet wide.

Like all pine trees, this tree is evergreen, so it keeps its leaves (needles) year-round. Pine needles are in small clumps of five, and each one grows up to five inches long.

Eastern White Pine has small yellow cones as flowers. The fruits of this tree are large brown pine cones, four to eight inches long. Each cone has two small seeds in it.
