I've climbed a lot of these trees in WI, ME, and NJ. The point has been made several times- but I'd like to re-reiterate...if ever there was a tree where a cambium saver should be used, this is it!

I also used to work on a ropes course in ME and most of the trees in the forest where White Pine. Sap flowed profusely from the points where hardware entered the tree.

I found it easy to remember the name of this tree because WHITE has 5 letters in it, and there are 5 needles per fascicle (your vocab word for the day).

I haven't seen a white pine for years now!
