Needles are in bundles of 5, up to 4 inches long, thin and soft. This tree can grow to 100 feet in height. Originally, large trees were found on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan, but these were logged by 1900 for sailing ship masts. It is susceptible to White Pine Blister Rust, a disease which kills White Pines, but requires currants or gooseberries as an alternate host.
