white pine (Pinus strobus; PINE FAMILY [Pinaceae]) Potentially very tall and long-lived evergreen tree, to over 100'.  Needles in bundles of 5, 3-5" long, soft and flexible.  Fine white lines of stomata on two surfaces of each needle.  Cones are stalked and curved, 4-8" long, with spineless scales.  The bark is smooth and gray, maturing into broken rectangular blocks.  The magnificent white pines of pre-settlement Wisconsin became the fine frame houses throughout much of the upper Midwest.  [020]
