PRODUCT INFO
For the urban site, keep in mind:
White Pine is highly susceptible to road salt damage, which causes browning needles, especially on the lower branches on the side where the salt runoff occurred.
Mature White Pines can be messy. The cones can be difficult to rake up in fall and are slow to decompose. In spring, its pollen dirties decks. They are also known to drop hard-to-clean pitch down on the windshield of any car parked under it.
Deer are known to browse on young White Pine. Fencing around young trees will protect them. Once the trees are large enough that their branches are out of the deer's reach, fencing can be removed.
