Pinus strobus is an important timber tree; because of extensive lumbering, few uncut stands remain. It was once prized as a source for ship masts, and large tracts of it were reserved for the Royal Navy during colonial times.
Pinus strobus var. chiapensis appears to be as Martínez saw it: a clinal variant that, compared to the type variety, has finer leaves, different resin canal distribution, and heavier cones when cones of similar sizes are compared.
Eastern white pine ( Pinus strobus ) is the provincial tree of Ontario and the state tree of Maine and Michigan.

Brief Summary
(
英語
)
由EOL staff提供
Pinus strobus, the Eastern White Pine, is characterized by fascicles of 5 fine needles with a nonpersistent bundle sheath, and relatively soft, unarmed, elongate seed cones whose scales are spread at maturity. The native range of eastern white pine stretches from southeastern Manitoba to Newfoundland in Canada and from Minnesota and Iowa eastward to Maine and Pennsylvania, with a southward Appalachian extension to Tennessee and Georgia and isolated occurrences in western Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana. The species also has become naturalized from plantings, both within its historical range and elsewhere, including portions of Europe, Asia, New Zealand, and Australia. A related taxon in portions of southern Mexico and Guatemala is sometimes treated as Pinus strobus var. chiapensis, but more often as a distinct species, Pinus chiapensis.
Natural stands of Pinus strobus occur in a variety of habitats, ranging from dune forests to bogs and mixed conifer/hardwood forests. The species also colonizes old fields and other former agricultural lands that are reverting back to forests. It has been planted extensively in plantations and is also used to revegetate mine spoils. The species also is cultivated commonly as a shade and ornamental tree
Eastern White Pine is an important timber tree for the production of softwood lumber. The wood is used for construction, cabinetry and furniture-making, handcrafts, and various other woodworking. Native American tribes used it extensively for various medicinal properties and it is an important food source for wildlife. The long history of cultivation has led to the development of numerous cultivars and forms. The species is affected by the exotic white pine blister rust Cronartium ribicola, an important pathogen of timber trees in the white pine group in temperate North America.

Systematics and Taxonomy
(

由EOL staff提供
A disjunct population of white pines in southern Mexico and Guatemala was first described as P. strobus var. chiapensis and is still treated as such by a few authors (e.g. Farjon 1997, Flora Neotropica Monograph 75: 215). It was raised to specific rank as P. chiapensis by Andresen (1964, Phytologia 10: 417), a treatment now accepted by a majority of authors and supported by genetic research, which shows it is very distinct genetically, sharing no alleles with P. strobus and forming a distinct clade of its own, sister to two clades of American and Asian species (Liston et al. 2003, Proc. Fourth International Conifer Conference: 107-114; Syring et al. 2007a, Systematic Biology 56: 163-181; Syring et al. 2007b, Syst. Bot. 32: 703-717).
Although fairly similar to P. strobus in foliage morphology, P. chiapensis differs clearly in cone morphology, here showing a much closer resemblance to several Eurasian white pines, notably P. peuce from SE Europe and P. dalatensis from Vietnam.

由Fire Effects Information System Plants提供
Eastern white pine is a large, native, evergreen conifer. It grows
rapidly and in 40 years can be 60 feet (18.3 m) tall and 8 to 10 inches
(20-25 cm) in d.b.h. [
7]. Individuals of 150 feet (46 m) and 40 inches
(102 cm) in d.b.h. were common in virgin forests. Eastern white pine
commonly reaches 200 years of age and may exceed 450 years [
68]. In
closed stands, boles are free of branches for over two-thirds of their
length. Needles are 2.5 to 5.0 inches (6-13 cm) long, and the winged
seeds are about 0.8 inches (2 cm) long. The roots are widespreading and
moderately deep without a distinct taproot [
20].

More info for the terms:
competition,
fire regime,
forb,
fuel,
low-severity fire,
mesic,
natural,
seed,
shrubEastern white pine is moderately fire resistant. Mature trees survive
most surface fires because they have thick bark, branch-free boles, and
a moderately deep rooting habit. Younger trees are not as fire
resistant [
68]. The needles have relatively low resin content so are
not highly flammable [
30].
Forests dominated or codominated by eastern white pine have different
FIRE REGIMES depending on site and associated species. The natural fire
regime in eastern white pine-red pine forests consists of nonlethal
surface fires at 5- to 50-year intervals punctuated by severe
stand-replacing fires at longer intervals. In the Boundary Waters Canoe
Area in Minnesota, low-severity fire intervals averaged 36 years, and
severe fire intervals averaged 160 years. Eastern white pine forests
growing on more mesic sites with a substantial shade-tolerant component
probably undergo only one fire every 150 to 350 years [
16,
17]. Some
large individuals survive or escape severe fires and serve as seed
sources for a new stand. Severe fire creates large open areas with ash
or mineral seedbeds and reduces competition, good conditions for eastern
white pine regeneration [
19,
65].
The typical fuel type under eastern white and red pine stands is an
organic layer 2 to 4 inches (5-10 cm) deep, a continuous needle layer, a
moderate forb and shrub layer, and a moderately dense understory.
Ground fires spread slowly in this fuel type. Dry, windy conditions are
required for fires to crown and have a high rate of spread [
23].

Fire Management Considerations

)
由Fire Effects Information System Plants提供
More info for the terms:
competition,
cone,
fire intensity,
forest,
herbaceous,
litter,
surface firePrescribed fire is used for eastern white pine seedbed preparation. Two
fires conducted in consecutive years are recommended before the first
partial cut of a shelterwood system. A fire conducted after the partial
cut may be too hot because of slash and may cause mortality of the
remaining trees. The first fire should be in the spring before the
understory leaves emerge so that the fire is hot enough to remove most
of the soil surface organic material. A second fire after the leaves
emerge the following year helps reduce competition. A suggested
reasonable fire intensity for preparing a seedbed and controlling
competition is 116 to 173 btu/s/ft (400-600 kW/m). Extreme care must be
taken if prescribed burning stands younger than 80 years old [
61].
Two consecutive annual fires in a 90-year-old eastern white and red pine
stand in Ontario improved the conditions necessary for pine
regeneration. The fires were low in intensity (22 to 23 btu/s/ft [78-79
kW/m]) and did not harm the overstory. The litter layer was consumed,
and the understory changed from one dominated by balsam fir saplings to
one dominated by herbaceous species. However, very little eastern white
pine reproduction occurred in the first 3 postfire years [
36].
The white pine cone beetle larvae spend 9 to 10 months a year in dead
cones on the forest floor. The beetle can be controlled by a
low-severity surface fire in early spring before it emerges [
66].

xericEastern white pine occurs on a variety of sites along the full moisture
gradient from wet bogs and moist streambottoms to xeric sand plains and
rocky ridges [
7,
67]. In Maine and New Brunswick, eastern white pine
occurs in well0drained, raised bogs [
8]; in Michigan, it occurs on sand
dunes [
42]. In the southern Appalachian Mountains and in Pennsylvania,
pure stands mainly occur on northerly aspects, in coves, and on
streambottoms [
11]. Eastern white pine is common on the east shore of
lakes where blowdowns create openings for regeneration [
28].
In New England, eastern white pine usually occurs between sea level and
2,000 feet (610 m) in elevation; on Catamount Mountain in the Adirondack
Mountains of New York, it occurs up to 3,168 feet (966 m). In the
southern Appalachian Mountains, it occurs between 1,200 and 3,500 feet
(370-1,070 m) [
11,
28]
Eastern white pine grows on nearly all soil types within its range. It
is most competitive on fairly infertile sandy soils, such as
well-drained outwash soils. On clay or poorly drained soils, eastern
white pine occurs only as individuals or in small groups. It grows on
fine sandy loams and silty loams on disturbed sites if there is little
hardwood competition [
68].
Eastern white pine is the characteristic old-field species in New
England. Nearly pure stands develop on old fields where seed is ample
and sod is intact [
53]. In the Hudson River valley, eastern white pine
dominates the finer textured, less rocky old-field sites, whereas oak
communities dominated the coarser textured, rockier sites [
15].
Tree associates of eastern white pine not mentioned in Distribution and
Occurrence include sweet birch (Betula lenta), bigtooth aspen (Populus
grandidentata), quaking aspen (P. tremuloides), black cherry (Prunus
serotina), and black oak (Quercus velutina) [
11].
Understory species are scarce in pure stands of eastern white pine. On
dry sites, associates include blueberries (Vaccinium spp.), wintergreen
(Gaultheria procumbens), dwarf bush-honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera),
sweetfern (Comptonia peregrina), bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum),
clubmosses (Lycopodium spp,), and broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus).
On moist, rich sites associates include wood sorrel (Oxalis spp.),
partridgeberry (Mitchella repens), wild sarsaparilla (Aralia
nudicaulis), jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), and hay-scented
fern (Dennstaedtia punctilobula). Other associates include bigleaf
aster (Aster macrophyllus), Canada mayflower (Maianthemum canadense),
and bunchberry (Cornus canadensis) [

Immediate Effect of Fire

More info for the terms:
low-severity fire,
prescribed fire,
severityOnce eastern white pine reaches 60 feet (18 m) in height and develops
rough bark on the lower bole, it tolerates low-severity fire [
32,
69].
Large individuals usually survive moderate-severity fires [
69]. Fires
of more than moderate severity during the first 50 years may destroy the
entire stand [
60].
Total scorching of foliage typically kills eastern white pine [
32], but
scorching less than 50 percent is usually not lethal [
35,
61,
66]. Two
stands, in which 96 percent of the eastern white and red pines were 9
inches (23 cm) in diameter or larger, were prescribed burned in late
spring (May 31 and June 15). The percent crown scorch was estimated
after the fire and 1-year mortality was assessed. There was no
mortality in trees with less than 46 percent crown scorch. Mortality
was 50 percent in the 81 to 85 percent crown scorch class and 100
percent in trees with more than 96 percent crown scorch [
35].
Many eastern white pine were crown scorched up to 50 percent in a March
prescribed fire ranging in intensity from 30 to 250 btu/s/ft (100-850
kW/m), but all buds emerged later in the spring [
66].
A laboratory study in August in which eastern white pine seedlings were
exposed to different temperature regimes for 4 minutes, demonstrated
even less mortality with high percentages of needle scorch. The
seedlings withstood up to 90 percent needle scorch with only 10 to 20
percent mortality. The author suggests that there may be two lethal
temperatures, one that kills needles and one that kills terminal buds.
Therefore percent needle scorch may not be directly related to
mortality in eastern white pine [
35].
Deep-burning ground fires may cause root injuries that are more serious
than crown injury. Where 75 percent or more of the major surface roots
had been killed or severely damaged by fire, but only a third or less of
the crown was scorched, mortality 3 years after the fire was 100, 60,
and 40 percent for small trees (2 to 6 inches [5-15 cm] in diameter),
medium trees (7 to 11 inches [16-29 cm]), and large trees (greater than
12 inches [30 cm]), respectively. For trees with less than 25 percent
root kill or injury and more than two-thirds of the crown scorched,
mortality for small, medium, and large trees was only 80, 46, and 14
percent, respectively [
32].
Heated air at 144 degrees Fahrenheit (62 deg C) applied for 1 minute
killed 50 percent of 5-year-old eastern white pine seedlings that
averaged 16 inches (40 cm) in height, 0.2 inch (0.5 cm) butt diameter,
and less than 0.04 inch (0.1 cm) in bark thickness [
24].

Importance to Livestock and Wildlife
(

由Fire Effects Information System Plants提供
Eastern white pine provides food and habitat for numerous wildlife
species. Songbirds and small mammals eat eastern white pine seeds.
Snowshoe hares, white-tailed deer, and cottontails browse the foliage;
the bark is eaten by various mammals [
68]. Pocket gophers graze the
roots of seedlings and young trees [
21].
Northeastern pine forests can support a rich community of breeding birds
[
4]. Bald eagles build nests in living eastern white pine, usually at a
main branch located below the crown top [
34]. Eastern white pine,
especially those with broken tops, provide valuable habitat for
cavity-nesting wildlife [
10].
Young black bear cubs use large eastern white pine to climb to safety.
In northeastern Minnesota, black bear mothers and cubs spent more than
95 percent of the time in April and May within 600 feet (180 m) of
either an eastern white pine or an eastern hemlock larger than 20 inches
(50 cm) in d.b.h. [
48].

frequency,
seedThe frequency of eastern white pine is lower in today's forests than in
presettlement forests. Eastern white pine was heavily logged in the
1800's in the north-central United States. Regeneration after the early
logging was poor because of the lack of seed trees and the destruction
of remaining seedlings and saplings by fire [
39,
41]. In the
northeastern United States, eastern white pine temporarily increased in
abundance through colonization of abandoned fields and pastures. Many
of these stands reached commercial maturity by the early 1900's and were
harvested. Hardwoods, which had invaded the understory, now dominate
many of these old-field sites [
46].
The two-cut shelterwood method is recommended for maximizing
regeneration of eastern white pine. The first cut removes 40 to 60
percent of the overstory, and the final cut occurs 5 to 10 years later
after seedlings are well established. Established individuals respond
well to release [
67].
Two of the more damaging pests of eastern white pine are the white pine
weevil (Pissodes strobi) and white pine blister rust (Cronartium
ribicola) [
67,
68]. Eastern white pine is infrequently planted in the
north-central region because of the inevitable damage caused by the rust
[
40]. See Fire Management slot for control of the white pine cone
beetle (Conophthorus coniperda), which is often responsible for complete
crop failure.
The growth rate of all pine species in the New Jersey Pine Barrens
except eastern white pine has decreased since the 1950's; this decrease
in growth rate may be the caused by acid rain [
22]. Eastern white pine
germination and emergence are not greatly affected by soil acidity
caused by acid rain [
47,
50].

A thick organic layer is an unfavorable seedbed because roots of new
seedlings desiccate before reaching mineral soil. The higher the fire
severity, the more organic material is removed. However, severe fire
also consumes seeds and rhizomes and thus reduces the early postfire
herbaceous cover which serves to shelter young seedlings from heat.
Initially, as the amount of postfire shelter is reduced by increasing
fire severity, eastern white pine survival decreases. Eventually,
however, the reduction in organic matter depth is sufficient to
compensate for the lack of shelter and the survival of eastern white
pine increases. Establishment is highest when mineral soil is exposed
[

Fire wounds provide entry to fungi which cause heart rot in eastern
white pine [

Regeneration Processes
(
英語
)
由Fire Effects Information System Plants提供
More info for the terms:
cover,
density,
lichen,
litter,
seedEastern white pine begins producing cones when 5 to 10 years old, but
good seed production does not occur until trees are at least 20 to 30
years old [
26]. Good seed years occur every 3 to 5 years, with some
seed produced in intervening years [
7].
Seeds are dispersed primarily by wind. Seeds travel 200 feet (60 m)
within a stand and more than 700 feet (210 m) in the open. Animals also
disperse seeds. Gray squirrel seed caches were responsible for white
pine reproduction under red oak (Quercus rubra) stands in southern New
Hampshire [
68]. White-footed mice and red-backed voles bury caches
containing 20 to 30 eastern white pine seeds beneath the litter but on
top of the mineral soil. Caches that escape revisitation and decimation
produce seedlings [
1].
Favorable seedbeds include moist mineral soil, mosses (Polytrichum
spp.), and short grass cover of light to medium density. Dry mineral
soil, pine litter, lichen, and very thin or very thick grass covers are
poor seedbeds in full light but adequate in shade [
68]. Eastern white
pine shows very limited delayed emergence the second year after seed
fall, and none after 3 years [
57].
Eastern white pine colonizes disturbed sites, but a nurse crop of aspen
(Populus spp.), birch (Betula spp.), or other pioneer species promotes
best regeneration [
7]. When colonizing old fields, eastern white pine is
more likely to become established in openings than under herbs. Even
though seedling emergence and survivorship are higher under herbs, so
too is seed and seedling predation by rodents [
14].
Eastern white pine seedlings require at least 20 percent of full light
for survival. They achieve maximum height growth in 45 percent of full
light [
51]. Early growth is slow, but between 10 and 20 years of age,
the average annual height growth is about 16 inches (40 cm) per year
[
68].
Eastern white pine does not reproduce vegetatively [
68].

Successional Status

由Fire Effects Information System Plants提供
More info on this topic. More info for the terms:
climax,
forest,
surface fireEastern white pine is intermediate in shade tolerance [
2] and is present
in all successional stages. It is a pioneer species on old fields and
other disturbed sites, a long-lived successional species, and a
physiographic climax species on dry, sandy soils [
53,
68]. Eastern white
pine is sometimes a component of climax forests on certain sites such as
steep slopes and ridge tops where windfall provides regeneration
opportunities [
54].
Eastern white pine forests frequently establish after disturbance and
are even-aged. However, uneven-aged forests also occur. Eastern white
pine has dominated an uneven-aged old-growth forest in southern Ontario
for at least 700 years. In this forest, canopy gaps created by the
death of individual trees from surface fire or windthrow enable eastern
white pine to regenerate [
44].
Eastern white pine succeeds aspen postdisturbance forests. The diffuse
aspen canopy allows enough light for eastern white pine to regenerate
[
52]. Bigtooth aspen colonized and was the early dominant on a burn in
northern Michigan, but 53 years after the fire, eastern white pine and
red maple (Acer rubrum) were dominant [
49].
More shade-tolerant species succeed eastern white pine. In the Boundary
Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota, it begins to be replaced by white spruce
(Picea glauca), eastern white-cedar (Thuja occidentalis), balsam fir
(Abies balsamea), and paper birch (Betula papyrifera) about 360 years
after fire [
16].

Eastern white pine growth is adversely affected by high levels of

avoided by selecting nonpyritic sandstone material for surface placement
and by minimizing soil compaction [

White pine is a major component of five Society of American Foresters
forest cover types (70): Red Pine (Type 15), White Pine-Northern Red
Oak-Red Maple (Type 20), Eastern White Pine (Type 21), White Pine-Hemlock
(Type 22), White Pine-Chestnut Oak (Type 51). None of these are climax
types, although the White Pine-Hemlock type may just precede the climax
hemlock types, and Type 20 is very close to a climax or an alternating
type of climax on the sandy outwash plains of New England (42). White pine
occurs in 23 other forest types:
1 Jack Pine
5 Balsam Fir
14 Northern Pin Oak
18 Paper Birch
19 Gray Birch-Red Maple
23 Eastern Hemlock

108 Red Maple
White pine also grows with pitch pine (Pinus rigida), jack pine
(P. banksiana), shortleaf pine (P. echinata), sweet birch
(Betula lenta), bigtooth aspen (Populus grandidentata), quaking
aspen (P. tremuloides), black cherry (Prunus serotina), black
oak (Quercus velutina), white oak (Q. alba), and various
hickories (Carya spp.). The ground vegetation in a white
pine stand varies greatly, as evidenced by the number of forest cover
types in which it is a major or minor component. Beneath pure or nearly
pure stands of white pine, understory plants usually are sparse compared
to those in the pine-hardwood mixtures (70).
In general, on dry sites the understory vegetation is usually of one or
more species of blueberries (Vaccinium spp.), teaberry
(Gaultheria procumbens), dwarf bush-honeysuckle (Diervilla
lonicera), sweetfern (Comptonia peregrina), bracken (Pteridium
aquilinum), clubmoss (Lycopodium spp.), and broomsedge
(Andropogon virginicus). The moist, rich sites support a ground
vegetation made up principally of several species of woodsorrel (Oxalis),
partridgeberry (Mitchella repens), wild sarsaparilla (Aralia
nudicaulis), jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema spp.), and
hay-scented fern (Dennstaedtia punctilobula). Intermediate sites
have ground vegetation containing various amounts of the above with
dogwood (Cornus spp.) and false lily- of-the -valley (Maianthemum
canadense).
Climate
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
The climate over the range of white pine is cool and humid. The
distribution of white pine coincides reasonably with that part of eastern
North America where the July temperature averages between 18° and 23°
C (65° and 74° F).
Annual precipitation ranges from about 510 mm (20 in) in northern
Minnesota to about 2030 mm (80 in) in northwestern Georgia. In the area
surrounding the Great Lakes, about two-thirds of the precipitation occurs
during the warm season, April to September. Elsewhere, half of the
precipitation occurs during the warm season. The length of the growing
season ranges from 90 to 180 days.
Throughout the range of white pine, precipitation is about 1 to 1.5
times the evaporation from shaded free water surfaces (71). Annual
potential evapo- transpiration is between 430 and 710 mm. (17 and 28 in),
of which 56 to 68 percent occurs in the warm season. There is a moisture
surplus in all seasons.
Average depth of frost penetration ranges from about 25 cm (10 in) in
the southern Appalachians to more than 178 cm (70 in) in parts of central
and northern Minnesota. Average annual snowfall ranges from 13 cm (5 in)
in northern Georgia to more than 254 cm (100 in) in New England and
southern Canada (51).
Damaging Agents
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
There are a total of 277 insects and 110
disease organisms known to attack white pine. Only 16 insects and 7
diseases cause sufficient injury or mortality to be of concern. The three
most important are white pine weevil (Pissodes strobi), white pine
blister rust (Cronartium ribicola), and Armillaria mellea
(63). The white pine weevil kills the terminal shoot, which may
include the last 2 or 3 years of growth. The tree is seldom killed unless
it is very small; lateral branches from the highest live whorl turn upward
to produce new terminal shoots. Bole crook and loss of stem length result
from this injury (71). There is evidence that white pine provenances
differ in resistance to weevils but even the lowest levels of injury are
unacceptable (25).
Among other insect enemies are white pine aphid (Cinara strobi),
which causes damage to twigs and branches of large trees and sometimes
kills small trees; white pine sawfly (Neodiprion pinetum), which
feeds on old and new foliage; Zimmerman pine moth (Dioryctria
zimmermani); the Allegheny mound ant (Formica exsectoides), which
injects formic acid into the tree tissue; pales weevil (Hylobius
pales), which feeds on bark of young twigs and seedlings; pine root
collar weevil (H. radicis); European pine shoot moth (Rhyacionia
buoliana), which feeds on buds and twigs causing crooked trunks and
branches; eastern pine shoot borer (Eucosma gloriola), which
attacks terminal needle sheaths, often causing bushiness after repeated
attacks; introduced pine sawfly (Diprion similis), which feeds on
foliage and may defoliate an entire tree in one season; and white pine
cone borer (Eucosma tocullionana), which feeds on white pine cones
and is a potentially serious pest (5).
White pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) is highly virulent
throughout the range of white pine. Trees are susceptible from the
seedling stage through maturity. Blister rust can cause high losses both
in regeneration and in immature timber stands (71).
Red ring rot caused by Phellinus pini isthe most
important heart rot of white pine. The fungus enters through wounds, dead
limbs, or tips killed by weevils. Losses are greater in older trees but do
not build up rapidly. Haematostereum sanguinolentum, a wound
parasite, is probably the third most destructive fungus associated with
white pine. It usually enters through pruning wounds (71).
Phaeolus schweinitzii causes one of the most common and
destructive root rots. A root rot caused by Heterobasidion annosum is
found particularly on white pines growing on poorly aerated soils.
Thinnings appear to increase the incidence of this disease (71). Armillaria
mellea destroys much of the white pine seedling and sapling
reproduction for distances up to 9 m (30 ft) from hardwood stumps. The
fungus radiates and girdles pines at the root collar and causes resinosis
(33). Other root rots that attack white pine are Inonotus tomentosus
and Scytinostroma galactinium. Many fungi invade white pine
foliage. The most serious damage is caused by Bifusella linearis, which
attacks first-year needles; Scirrhia acicola, which can cause
spring shedding of all needles; and Capnodium pini, which causes
surface sooty mold on aphid secretions on needles.
Three categories of nursery diseases are pre-emergence and
post-emergence damping off, most commonly caused by Rhizoctonia
solani, Fusarium spp., Pythium debaryanum, P. ultimum, and
Phytophthora cinnamomi; damping off and root collar rot caused by
the preceding fungi and Cylindrocladium scoparium and Diplodia
pinea; and foliage and succulent stem blights caused by Cylindrocladium
scoparium, Diplodia pinea, Phacidium infestans, and Rhizina
undulata. In the field, seedlings may be attacked by Armillaria
mellea and by most of the fungi observed in the nursery. In 3- to
10-year-old plantations in Pennsylvania, Verticicladiella procera was
identified (65).
The bark on exposed roots and the stem in second-growth white pine
stands is thin, and fire resistance is low. Losses invariably are heavy
after a fire, with mortality continuing for several years. Also, fire
injury is probably responsible for introducing disease agents. If fires
occurred more frequently than once in 10 years, white pine reproduction
might be eliminated (53). Old trees have thicker bark and are at least
moderately resistant to fire.
The species is relatively windfirm. if permitted full development, but
in dense stands, wind damage may be expected from an occasional severe
storm, particularly after a recent partial cutting (71). Wind-deformed
trees are subject to later compression failures in the bole. Also, white
pine is damaged by deer browsing; ice and snow, which often cause limb and
stem breakage; sulfur dioxide in stack gases resulting from large scale
burning of coal and oil refining; fluorine gas from brick kilns;
atmospheric ozone; and sea-salt spray (11,26,33,58).
Flowering and Fruiting
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
White pine is monoecious. The male
strobili are oval, 8 to 10 mm (0.3 to 0.4 in) long and occur mostly on the
basal part of new shoots and mostly on older lateral branches in the lower
crown. At the time of pollen shed, they are light brown to brown. Female
flowers are found most often in the upper crown, primarily at the apical
end of the main branches in the position of subterminal or lateral buds
(39). At the time of pollination, they are green, and 5 to 38 mm (0.2 to
1.5 in) long. In the northeastern United States, flowering occurs between
May and June. The male flowers develop from one to several weeks before
the female flowers.
Trees may start to bear female flowers when 5 to 10 years old (71). In
the Philadelphia area, quantity production of female flowers does not
begin until the trees are about 6 m (20 ft) tall. At that size, 200 to 300
flowers may be produced in 1 year; the number is only a little greater on
larger or older trees. Few or no male flowers appear during the early
flowering years. Femaleness persists even on older trees 30 to 61 cm (12
to 24 in) in diameter, although trees of this size do produce small to
moderate amounts of pollen (71).
The pattern of flowering in white pine is uncertain. In the Philadelphia
area, the better flowering trees tend to produce about the same number of
female flowers every year, with some exceptions; male flowers, however, do
not appear every year (71). Fertilization occurs about 13 months after
pollination, and cones mature usually during August and September of the
second year (39). Trees have borne cones at 5 to 10 years of age, but good
seed production cannot be expected until the trees are 20 to 30 years old
(30).
Genetics

Population Differences
Early provenance tests by the USDA Forest Service and by Genys showed
that trees from the southern Appalachians grew more rapidly at a number of
test locations. In a followup test, Wright and others collected 177
seedlots from the southern Appalachians. After 12 years, the trees from
Georgia and parts of North Carolina and Tennessee grew most rapidly and
trees from West Virginia and Maryland grew most slowly wherever they were
tested. There are geographic differences in air pollution sensitivity,
flower production, winter injury, and susceptibility to blister rust
(4,27,35,73). White pine varies greatly in appearance in different parts
of its range, suggesting that unidentified ecological or geographical
races may exist (32). Likewise, trees immune to white pine blister rust
and weevil occur, suggesting the feasibility of selection propagation and
breeding of resistant varieties (72).
Races and Hybrids
Eastern white pine is represented in the United States by the typical
variety, Pinus strobus var. strobus. Chiapas white pine,
P. strobus var. chiapensis, is native in the mountains of
southern Mexico and Guatemala. Four horticultural varieties have been
recognized in Connecticut (68).
Eastern white pine crosses readily with western white pine (Pinus
monticola), Balkan pine (P. peuce), blue pine (P.
griffithii), and Japanese white pine (P. parviflora). It can
also be crossed with limber pine (P. flexilis) and Mexican white
pine (P. ayacahuite) (21). The cross P. strobus x griffithii
is more vigorous than P. strobus in Northern Ohio and more
winter hardy than P. griffithii (37).
Growth and Yield
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
White pine is a long-lived tree commonly
reaching 200 years if undisturbed; maximum age may exceed 450 years. It
has a remarkable rate of growth compared to other pine and hardwood
species within its range (20). Trees 102 cm (40 in) in d.b.h. and 46 m
(150 ft) tall were common in the virgin forests of Pennsylvania, Michigan,
and New England (71). In the "National Register of Big Trees"
(54), there are two champion white pines: one in Michigan is 168 cm (66
in) in diameter and 48.2 m (158 ft) tall, and the other in Maine is 173 cm
(68 in) in diameter and 44.8 m (147 ft) tall.
Periodic height growth increment of dominant and codominant trees in
southern Appalachian natural white pine stands occurs at younger ages on
the better sites and tends to decline more rapidly. Height growth of both
planted and natural white pine is slow during the first 2 to 3 years.
Afterwards, growth accelerates rapidly, peaking at an average annual rate
of 1 m (3 ft) between 10 and 15 years on site index 80 (base 50 years)
(6). By age 55, the rate of annual growth is about equal on all sites (9).
For example, in stands with a site index of 36.6 m (120 ft), maximum
growth of 1.0 m (3.4 ft) per year occurred at age 14; whereas, with a site
index of 18.3 m (60 ft), maximum growth of 0.5 m (1.5 ft) per year did not
occur until age 23. By age 55, however, annual growth for all sites was
about 0.3 m (1.0 ft) per year (fig. 1).
Figure 1-Curves of annual increment (A) and cumulative
height (B) for selected site indices. These curves show the
changing pattern of growth with level of site index (9).
Diameter growth may be as rapid as 2.5 cm (1 in) per year or as slow as
2.5 cm (1 in) in 40 years. Dominant trees ordinarily grow at the rate of 1
to 2 rings per 5 mm (5 to 10/in) to an age of 250 years. In fully stocked
stands on average sites, the average tree diameter increases at a nearly
uniform rate of 2.5 cm (1 in) every 5 to 6 years (71).
Generally, rates of growth in basal area, cubic volume, and sawtimber
volume in natural southern Appalachian stands tend to be slower than those
in old-field plantations. For example, maximum mean annual increment in
cubic volume occurs at 60 to 70 years in natural stands and at about 25
years in plantations. Similarly, sawtimber volume in natural stands is
still increasing at 100 years, though very slowly. In New England stands,
mean annual increment in cubic volume occurs at age 40 to 50 (8).
Sustained cubic volume growth extends from about age 30 to 90. Mean annual
growth peaks at 8.6 m/ha (615.0 fbm/acre). In New England, a stocking
guide for white pine has been prepared (55) (fig. 2).
Figure 2-Stocking guide for nearly pure even-aged white
pine
stands, showing basal area per acre, number of trees per acre,
and mean d.b.h. for trees in the main crown canopy (55).
The A curve represents 80 percent stocking, and stands above it are
considered overstocked. The B curve represents minimum stocking for full
site utilization and stands that fall below are considered understocked.
Stands between the A and B curves are considered adequately stocked. Where
a particular stand might fall in the guide is based on basal area per
acre, number of trees per acre, and mean d.b.h. for trees in the main
canopy. Tables have been prepared for different stand ages, site and
stocking percent, and cubic and sawtimber yield (table 1) (43). Yields of
about 504 m³/ha (36,000 fbm/acre) at 50 years in nearly fully stocked
managed stands are entirely possible. The average white pine stand in New
England grows from 4.2 to 11.2 m³/ha (300 to 800 fbm/acre) per year
depending on age, site index, and stocking (41). Site index for eastern
white pine is determined from the average height of dominant trees at age
50 years.

Reaction to Competition
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
White pine is intermediate in shade
tolerance, and vegetative competition is a major problem (60). Although it
will tolerate up to 80 percent shade, tree growth increases as shade is
reduced (6). It can achieve maximum height growth in as little as 45
percent full sunlight (60). In competition with light-foliaged species
such as the birches and pitch pine, white pine usually gains dominance in
the stand. It can grow successfully in competition with black walnut (15).
Against the stronger competition of species such as the aspens, oaks, and
maples, however, white pine usually fails to gain a place in the upper
canopy and eventually dies (71). Pure stands of white pine seldom stagnate
because of inherent variations in vigor. This characteristic is more
pronounced on better sites and in natural stands than in plantations (6).
In Ontario, on upland sites white pine and its associates are rated in
decreasing order of shade tolerance as follows: balsam fir (Abies
balsamea), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), American beech (Fagus
grandifolia), eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), white spruce
(Picea glauca), yellow birch, white pine, black spruce (Picea
mariana), gray birch (Betula populifolia), red oak Quercus
rubra), red maple (Acer rubrum), red pine (Pinus
resinosa), jack pine, trembling aspen, bigtooth aspen, and pin cherry
(Prunus pensylvanica) (71).
In the seedling stage, white pine is very susceptible to competition
because its height growth is slow compared to most of its associates. If
white pine survives to the sapling stage, its ability to compete is
greatly improved (71).
At either stage, the response to release depends primarily on how strong
the competition has been and how long the pine has been in a subordinate
position. In general, pines less than 30 years old with at least one-third
of their height in live crown respond well, but response declines
proportionately with increasing age and decreasing crown length.
White pine may function as a pioneer, as exemplified by its role as the
old field pine of New England. It may function as a physiographic climax
species on the drier, sandier soils. It may function as a long-lived
successional species, and it may be a component of climax forests
throughout its range. In Canada, however, it is considered that many of
the present white pine stands are edaphic or pyric relicts and that
present climatic conditions are against its maintenance as a major species
(71).
Pure natural stands of white pine almost never stagnate. Because of
differences in vigor, age, and site, differentiation into crown and
diameter classes usually occurs. Dominance is more pronounced on the
better sites, at the greater stand densities, and in natural stands as
compared to plantations (71).
White pine has been regenerated successfully by a wide variety of
methods including clearcutting, seed tree, shelterwood, and group
selection (44). If there is abundant advanced reproduction, overstory
removal is all that is necessary. Clearcutting during or just after heavy
seed crops often results in well stocked stands on light soils.
Clearcutting in small patches or stands with seed dispersed from adjacent
stands is also possible. Because of competition from other vegetation and
poor seed crops, mechanical site preparation and planting may be necessary
sometimes in conjunction with clearcutting.
Where esthetic considerations are important, group selection may have
merit. Probably the most versatile reproduction method is the shelterwood
method. By control of overstory density with a series of
shelterwood cuts, seedbed conditions may be improved; an accumulation of
advanced seedlings is obtained over a period of years; protection of
seedlings on hot, dry aspects is afforded; weevil attacks are reduced; and
competition from herbaceous and hardwood sprout vegetation is suppressed.
Two, three, or more cuts spread over a number of years may be used, but
usually white pine can be regenerated successfully with a two-cut
shelterwood system. Seed cuts should be timed to take advantage of good
seed crops, but timing of the final cut is not critical.
Trees in pure second-growth stands of white pine are noted for their
limbiness. The limbs live for about 15 years and persist on the trunk for
more than 25 years after they die. In the first log of these stands, there
is an average of about 60 limbs (71). Pruning has been recommended to
increase quality production. If possible, pruning should begin early when
branches are less than 5 cm (2 in) in diameter but not before dominance is
expressed. At least 25 percent of the live crown and up to 50 percent in
closed stands can be pruned without losses in height growth. To realize
full benefits of pruning, only potential crop trees should be pruned and
stands should be thinned to maximize growth (24). In Canada, pruning is
recommended on fast-growing trees in stands 35 to 80 years old because of
the inefficiency of pruning smaller trees and the lengthened rotation and
probable growth reduction in older stands (34). This recommendation
assumes that the highest returns will accrue if the trees are allowed to
grow for another 40 years before harvest.
Rooting Habit
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
The form and distribution of the white pine root
system vary with the soil characteristics. The normal root system has just
a vestige of a taproot. Usually three to five large roots spread outward
and downward in the soil, giving the tree a firm anchor under most
conditions. In deep, coarse-textured soils, sinker roots that branch from
the laterals and grow straight down seem to be fairly common, but they are
seldom found in other soils. A concentration of fine roots within the H,
A, and B horizons seems to be greatest where the soil is fine textured,
with good structure and consistency, and a relatively high moisture
equivalent (71). A high total exchange capacity and a relatively high
content of exchangeable bases, total nitrogen, and organic matter also
favor the concentration of roots.
Much root grafting occurs in white pine stands (12). Regardless of
either stand age, soil characteristics, or drainage class, root grafting
occurred in 30 to 67 percent of dye-injected trees in five white pine
stands in New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. Exposure of the root systems
indicated that often several trees, rather than two or three, were united
by root grafts. Root grafting indicates that competition may be a factor
in white pine growth for the first 5 to 10 years of a stand. Thereafter,
root grafts begin to form, and the stand may function as a union of
grafted trees interspersed with individual trees.
Seed Production and Dissemination
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
Good seed years are thought
to occur every 3 to 5 years, a few seeds being produced in most
intervening years. However, at the Massabesic Experimental Forest in
southwestern Maine, and at other New England locations, there was
virtually no seed produced for 7 years and no good seed crop for 10 years.
The major cause of these failures probably is the white pine cone beetle
(Conophthorus coniperda).
Cones are green when immature and turn yellow-green to light brown when
ripe. Cones that float in linseed oil are considered ripe. Cones should be
collected from trees having superior growth and form. Widely spaced
dominant trees with full crowns produce the most seeds per cone (39).
In a comprehensive German study of white pine seed production, it was
found that a 90-year-old stand produced about 73 kg of seeds per hectare
(65 lb/acre); a comparable 60-year-old stand produced only one-fifth as
much. In these stands, dominant trees produced twice as many cones as
codominant trees (71). In Maine, intermediate density stands 27.6 m²/ha
(120 ft²/acre) produced 4,430,000 viable seeds per hectare
(1,793,220/acre) in a good seed year (29). In high density stands 42.9 m²/ha
(187 ft²/acre), seedfall was 36 percent less and in low density
stands 18.4 m²/ha (80 ft²/acre), seedfall was 30 percent less
than in the intermediate density stands.
There are 58,400 seeds per kilogram (26,500/1b) with a range from 38,600
to 116,800/kg (17,500 to 53,000/1b) (39). In a study of 250 different
parents from all parts of the white pine range, the number of good seeds
per cone ranged from 0 to 73. The lowest sets were found in stands at the
extremes of the range.
Most of the seeds are dispersed within the month following cone
maturity. The seeds travel at least 60 m (200 ft) within a white pine
stand and more than 210 m (700 ft) in the open (71). Gray squirrels were
found responsible for much of the white pine reproduction under mature red
oak stands in southern New Hampshire; they bury and recover the seeds (3).
Seedling Development
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
Embryo dormancy is common in white pine,
and for nursery sowing, stratification of seeds for 60 days at 1° to
5° C (33° to 41° F) is recommended (39).
Germination is epigeal. Bare mineral soil is not necessary for seed
germination; seeds can germinate and survive on both disturbed and
undisturbed litter layers (6). Under full exposure to sunlight, moist
mineral soil, polytrichum moss, or a shortgrass cover of light to medium
density are favorable seedbeds. Dry mineral soil, pine litter, lichen, and
very thin or very thick grass covers are unfavorable (71).
Unfavorable seedbed conditions can be corrected by scarification or can
be overcome by shade. However, dense, low shade such as that cast by slash
piles or hardwood brush is adverse to later survival and the shade of
young stands of gray birch (Betula populifolia) or pitch pine
reduces growth in the later stages. Overstory shade resulting from a form
of shelterwood cut provides good protection during the early stages of
growth and is least damaging to later stages (71).
Experience in North Carolina shows that during years of heavy seedfall
white pine seedlings develop well in shade cast by logging debris. Some
seedlings may die during a hot dry June, however. Thus, the roughest
tracts are reserved and regenerated by natural methods during years of
high seedfall only (52). On medium to fair sites in the central
Appalachians, white pine seedlings can be underplanted in hardwood stands
with reasonable success (69). The hardwoods, mostly oaks and hickories,
permit enough light to reach the seedlings so some height growth occurs.
Normally 3 to 5 years are required for white pine to become established,
and if the pines are released 5 to 10 years later, a high proportion
outgrow the competing vegetation. Similar results have been reported for
9- to 20-year-old underplanted white pine in Maine, Canada, and South
Carolina (16,28,71).
White pine seedlings in the vicinity of recent pine timber cuttings
often are attacked by the pales weevil (Hylobius pales). This
insect breeds in the fresh stumps and slash; nearby seedlings are girdled
and usually killed. Most of the damage occurs during the first 3 years
after a cutting and among seedlings less than 5 years old (71).
After the establishment period, light intensity becomes critical to the
survival and growth of white pine seedlings. At light intensities less
than 10 to 13 percent of full sunlight, survival is uniformly poor; at
least 20 percent of full sunlight seems to be required to keep the
seedlings alive. As light intensity increases above this point, growth
increases proportionately up to full sunlight unless some other condition
becomes limiting (71). Diameter growth of planted white pine increased
with increased light in clearcut stands in the Piedmont of South Carolina
(23). Height growth of underplanted seedlings after 2 years did not differ
from that of seedlings planted in a clearcut.
Although young seedlings can survive for several weeks in soils with
moisture below the wilting coefficient, growth at a given light intensity
is best in the absence of root competition; growth is better when only an
overstory offers root competition than when both an understory and an
overstory are competing (71). Mineral soil seedbeds plus light intensities
greater than 20 percent full sunlight but less than full sunlight support
vigorous seedling growth by reducing surface soil temperatures and
providing better soil moisture conditions (41). The survival of white pine
2-2 stock was increased on shallow old pasture soils in eastern Ontario
when wedge-shaped pieces of peat saturated with water were placed at the
bottom of the planting holes to provide water and prevent desiccation
during drought periods (61). Two-O stock stored in a refrigerator can be
planted until mid-June without significant reduction in survival rate.
However, seedlings planted in July and August will not be hardened off by
the first fall frost (56).
In some early greenhouse and nursery trials with young seedlings, the
optimum supply of nitrogen was shown to be 300 p/m; phosphorus, 350 p/m;
potassium, 150 p/m; and calcium, 200 p/m (71).
Early white pine growth is slow. Open-grown trees are about 13 cm (5 in)
high when 3 years old; 30 cm (12 in) high when 5 years old; and 137 cm (54
in) high when 8 to 10 years old. Thereafter, height growth may be quite
rapid. Between 10 and 20 years old, open-grown dominant trees have grown
as much as 137 cm (54 in) in height in a single year. Annual increments of
91 cm (36 in) are not uncommon, but average height growth of dominant
trees during this period is about 41 cm (16 in) (71). Usually terminal
growth occurs within a 30-day period (6) and normally is completed by July
1 (56).
Soils and Topography
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
The major soil orders found in the white pine range are Inceptisols,
Ultisols, Spodosols, Entisols, and Alfisols (14,50,66). In New England the
important subgroups are excessively drained or somewhat excessively
drained sandy deposits or stratified sand and gravel deposits. Most of the
parent materials are glaciofluvial deposits-subgroups Typic Udorthents,
Typic Haplorthods, and Typic Udipsamments; glacial tills-subgroups Lithic
Dystrochrepts and Lithic Haplorthods; or weathered igneous rocks (loose
crystalline fragments mainly from weathered Conway granite)-subgroup
Lithic Haplorthods (42).
In northern Minnesota, Eutroboralfs, Haplorthods, Udipsamments, and
Hapludalfs are among the most common of the great groups (2). They are
similar to the soils of New England and are more or less freely drained
and have developed on glacial outwash or till material.
Dystrochrepts, Fragiodults, and Normudults are the major great groups
occupied by white pine in the central Appalachian Mountains (45). These
soils are weathered from acid shales and sandstones, either in place
(residual soils), deposited on lower slopes (colluvial material), or along
stream terraces (alluvial material). The soils are generally well drained
and have a coarse loamy to a fine loamy texture.
Soils within the range of white pine are derived from granites,
gneisses, schists, and sandstones, and less commonly from phyllites,
slates, shales, and limestones. In the northern part of the Lake States
and southern Canada, white pine is usually confined to soils derived from
basalts, gabbro, diabase, and granites (70). Most of the area was covered
by the Wisconsin glaciation so the soils are young and have weakly
developed profiles (67). In New Hampshire, white pine is found on
granite-derived soils and on metamorphic crystalline schists (42). From
central Pennsylvania south and in southwestern Wisconsin, the soils are
much older, generally are finer textured, and have well developed
profiles.
White pine grows on nearly all the soils within its range (71), but
generally competes best on well drained sandy soils of low to medium site
quality. These soils permit fair growth of white pine but not hardwoods.
On these sandy sites, white pine regenerates naturally, competes easily,
and can be managed most effectively and economically (40,47). On
medium-textured soils (sandy loams), it will outproduce most other native
commercial species in both volume and value (47). White pine also grows on
fine sandy loams and silt-loam soils with either good or impeded drainage
when there is no hardwood competition during the establishment period-as
on old fields and pastures, bums, and blowdowns. It has been found on clay
soils and on poorly drained or very poorly drained soils with surface
mounds. It can be very productive on these sites but usually occurs only
as individual trees or in small groups (47). This pine should not be
planted in heavy clay soils. Poorly drained bottom land sites and upland
depressions are also poor choices for planting (6).
At various places within white pine's range, site quality has been
related to combinations of soil and topographic characteristics such as
texture and thickness of the A and B horizons, depth and permeability of
the underlying rock or pan, depth to the water table, natural drainage
class, topographic position, slope percent, and aspect. In the unglaciated
regions of Ohio and central Indiana, site quality for white pine increases
as the soil becomes coarser in texture and declines as the moisture
equivalent and wilting percentage increase in the A and B horizons (71).
But thickness of the A horizon had the greatest influence on rate of
growth.
In Massachusetts white pine site quality increased with the increase in
silt and clay fraction of the A horizon, with higher pH value of the B or
C horizon, with increased stone and gravel fraction greater than 2 mm
(0.08 in) in the A horizon, with greater nitrogen content in the A
horizon, and with higher percent organic matter in the B horizon (46). In
general, the higher site indices are associated with the poor soil
drainage classes. On reclaimed soils, white pine should not be planted on
sites with a pH of less than 4.0 (6).
In New Hampshire, the average height of dominant and codominant trees
increased as the soil tended to be less well drained (7,71). Site
productivity in Maine showed the following responses: increase with a
reduction in soil drainage; increase with pH increases in surface mineral
horizons; decrease with increased content of stones larger than 0.6 cm.
(0.25 in) in the C horizon, but increase with the contents of stones in
surface horizon; increase with thickness of the A horizon; increase with
soil depth to a bulk density of 1.40 or greater; increase with increasing
availability of soil moisture in the upper 76 cm (30 in) of soil (59).
In the southern part of its range, white pine grows best on soils along
rivers and streams and grows somewhat more slowly on well drained sites
(22). The growth of white pine in plantations in eastern Tennessee was
found to decrease with increased plasticity of the B horizon (71).
Pine often grows better than some of its associates on poor soils or
sites, such as in northeastern Iowa where white pine was 8 site index
points better than oaks on the poor soils (71). In a comparison of site
index and growth of 10 species in the southern Appalachians, white pine
exceeded all species in growth, except on the best sites, where
yellow-poplar outranked it in height only. In New England, white pine
frequently pioneers on abandoned agricultural land but only on the
well-drained to excessively drained deposits-outwash, sandy tills, and
shallow bedrock. White pine may form part of the climax (edaphic) on the
driest of these materials or may alternate with oak (42).
In New England and New York, white pine generally grows at elevations
between sea level and 460 m (1,500 ft), occasionally higher. In
Pennsylvania, the elevation ranges from 150 to 610 m (500 to 2,000 ft)
(71). In the southern Appalachians, white pine grows in a band along the
mountains between 370 and 1070 m (1,200 and 3,500 ft) above sea level,
occasionally reaching 1220 m (4,000 ft). In Pennsylvania and the southern
Appalachians, most white pine is found on northerly aspects, in coves, and
on stream bottoms. Elsewhere, aspect seldom restricts its occurrence (71).
Special Uses
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
Although the genus Pinus is used by wildlife for food and cover,
few specific observations of eastern white pine have been noted. Some
species of songbirds that consume seeds of white pine are the
yellow-bellied sapsucker, black-capped chickadee, white-breasted nuthatch,
pine warbler, pine grosbeak, and the red crossbill. Some mammals that eat
seeds, bark, and foliage of white pine are beaver, snowshoe hares, New
England cottontails, porcupine, red and gray squirrels, mice, and
white-tailed deer (48).
White pines are useful in urban plantings. Trees grown from seeds
obtained in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, or in adjacent regions of
New Brunswick, Maine, and New Hampshire may be more suitable than trees
obtained from other regions (27). They usually have more compact crowns
and are more resistant to snowbreak; they grow more slowly, have darker
blue-green color, and seem to be more resistant to air pollutants than
trees from other origins.
White pine has been used extensively for stabilizing strip-mine spoils.
In the anthracite region of Pennsylvania, white pine survived well on
spoils that fell within the pH range 5.1 to 6.5, and growth was better on
lower slopes of the spoils than on upper slopes (18). On bituminous spoils
in West Virginia, white pine survived best on spoils having a pH greater
than 4.0 (13). Growth on the spoils was slow for the first 5 years, but
total height exceeded that of Scotch pine (P. sylvestris), and red
pine at 10 years.
The bark of white pine is used as an astringent and an expectorant, and
the wood has been used to produce white pine tar, which is used as an
antiseptic, expectorant, and protective (38). White pine wood has medium
strength, is easily worked, and stains and finishes well. It is used for
furniture, patterns, matches, and many other items. White pine is also
planted for Christmas trees. The foliage has a good color and responds
well to shearing (19).
Vegetative Reproduction
(
英語
)
由Silvics of North America提供
White pine does not reproduce
vegetatively under natural conditions (31). Small cuttings of the last
season's twigs, taken in late winter from trees 2 to 6 years old, root
fairly readily, however. Within 9 years, outplanted cuttings have
developed the same form and size as seedlings, and the root system
approaches that of seedlings (71). Also, trees from rooted cuttings
performed as well or better than seedling-origin trees when comparing
survival, height, and d.b.h. after 40 years (62).
When June-collected cuttings from 17- and 30-year-old white pine were
treated with 0.1 percent indolebutyric acid (IBA) and the fungicide
Benlate, 60 and 45 percent, respectively, all of the cuttings produced
roots in 16 weeks (36). Cuttings from secondary branches of 13-year-old
white pines treated with 5 percent benomyl and 25 percent captan
fungicides resulted in root formation on 36 percent of the cuttings. When
0.1 percent or 0.5 percent IBA was added, rooting was 31 percent (64).
Multi-applications of N6 benzyladenine at 1,000
p/m to white pine needle fascicles produced roots on 22 percent of all
clones tested in 1975 (17).
Scions from the crown of mature trees can be grafted on young stock
(31). Side grafts of scions on 3- or 4-year-old white pine stocks seem to
be a more reliable method of vegetative propagation than rooted cuttings
(71). Buds from main terminal or lateral terminal positions should be used
in grafting if early erect growth is desired (1).

Brief Summary

由Silvics of North America提供
Pinaceae -- Pine family
G. W. Wendel and H. Clay Smith
Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), also called northern white
pine, is one of the most valuable trees in eastern North America. Before
the arrival of white men, virgin stands contained an estimated 3.4 billion
m³ (600 billion fbm) of lumber. By the late 1800's most of those vast
stands had been logged. Because it is among the more rapid growing
northern forest conifers, it is an excellent tree for reforestation
projects, landscaping, and Christmas trees and has the distinction of
having been one of the more widely planted American trees.

由wikipedia AZ提供
Veymutov şamı (lat. Pinus strobus) - şamkimilər fəsiləsinin şam ağacı cinsinə aid bitki növü.
Təbii halda Şimali Amerika nın şərq rayonlarında yayılmışdır. Zaqatala rayonunun Pərzivan məntəqəsində dağ-meşə torpaqlarında bitir. Avropada XVII əsrdən becərilir. Hündürlüyü 50 m, diametri 160 sm olan iri ağacdır. Çətiri enli piramidal və ya yumurtavarı, seyrəkdir. Gövdəsi düz və hamardır, açıq-boz rəngli qabıq qatı ilə örtülmüşdür. Cavan zoğların qalınlığı isə 3–4 mm olub, çılpaqdır. Nazik iynəyarpaqları açıq-yaşıldır, uzunluğu 5-10 sm olub, 5 ədədi bir dəstədə yığılmışdır və 2-3 il budaqların üzərində qalır. Qozaları ensiz-silindrikdir, uzunluğu 8-16 sm-ə, qalınlığı 2-4 sm-ə çatır, uzun saplaqlarda 1-3 ədəd olmaqla yerləşir. Apofizləri üstdən qabarıqdır. İkinci il yetişir. Bu şam 25 ildən sonra meyvə verməyə başlayır. Təzə qumlu və gilli torpaqlara üstünlük verir. Quru və qeyri-münbit torpaqlarda bu növ zəif böyüyür. Kölgəyə, küləyə, soyuğa davamlıdır, rütubətsevəndir, isti yay günlərində yarpaqları quruyur. Çox vaxt pas xəstəliyinə yoluxur. Oduncağı yumşaq, yüngüldür, tikintidə binaların bəzədilməsində, mebel, qələm, kibrit, faner, sellüloza istehsalında istifadə edilir. Respublikamızda Lənkəran zonasının rütubətli yerlərində, dağ-ətəklərində gilli sarı torpaqlarda Veymutov şamı toxumla cücərdilib becərilir. Bakı da Nəbatat bağı nda, Gəncə də və Bərdə də ayrı-ayrı nüsxələri vardır.

Pinus strobus o pi de Weymouth, en anglès té els noms comuns de: eastern white pine, white pine, northern white pine, Weymouth pine, i soft pine[1] és un gran pi i planta nativa de l'est de l'Amèrica del Nord. Es troba des de l'illa de Terranova, passant per la regió dels Great Lakes a Manitoba i Minnesota, i pel sud per la Conca del Mississipí i els Apalatxes a Geòrgia i l'estat de Mississipí.[2]
Pels amerindis iroquesos és l'Arbre de la Pau [3] per George Weymouth que el va portar a Anglaterra el 1620.
Descripció
Com en tots els membres del subgènere Strobus, les fulles són en grups de 5 (rarament 3 o 4)
La seva pinya és prima de 8 a 16 cm de llargada. Els pinyons fan de 4 a 5 mm de llargada i tenen una ala prima.
Poden viure 200 a 250 anys, alguns arriben als 400 o més.
Aquesta espècie de pi és la més alta de l'est de l'Amèrica del Nord, pot arribar als 70 m d'alt.[4] Però actualment els més alts fan entre 50 a 58 metres.[5]
Usos
- Pals, molt importants en l'època dels vaixells de fusta
- Fusta, actualment es cultiven en plantacions forestals. l'any 1620 el Capità George Weymouth els importà a Anglaterra i en va fer plantacions que fracassaren per les malalties de fongs.
- Medicinal, les seves fulles tenen cinc vegades més vitamina C que la llimona i se'n pot fer una bona infusió. El seu càmbium és comestible i és una font de resveratrol.

Vzhled
Jde o relativně mohutný strom 60–70 m (80 m) vysoký, o průměru kmene 100–150 cm s nepravidelnou korunou a silnými vodorovně odstávajícími větvemi. Základem kořenového systému je mohutný hlavní kořen, který jde hluboko do půdy. Borka je hnědavá, podélně zbrázděná, v mládí hladká až šedohnědá. Velmi tenké a měkké 6–12 cm dlouhé jehlice vyrůstají ve svazečcích po pěti na brachyblastech a jsou na okraji pilovité, na bocích s 2–3 řadami průduchů) – bělavé proužky. Letorosty jsou tenké, zelenavé a jemně pýřité. Vejčité pupeny mají obvykle délky 5–7 mm, jsou červenavě žluté, s bělavým blanitým okrajem. Květenství jsou šišticovitá, samčí šištice jsou žluté, samičí růžové. Kvete od května do června. Šišky 7–15 cm velké, visící na konci větví po 1–3, dlouze stopkaté, převislé, se štítky žlutošedými, uprostřed rýhovanými. Semena vejčitá, hnědá, s proužkovaným křídlem.
Výskyt a ekologie
Mimo svůj přirozený areál rozšíření (východní část USA a Kanady) je hojně rozšířena po celém světě pro svou vysokou produkční schopnost. I u nás je velmi častá v lesních porostech, kde v místech svého optima vytlačuje místní borovici lesní (České Švýcarsko, Hradec Králové). Je klasickou kolonizující dřevinou, pod jejímž porostem (podobně jako u akátu) se zmlazuje většinou pouze ona sama – i díky opadu jehličí. Trpí však, jako ostatní americké pětijehličné druhy, rzí vejmutovkovou (Cronartium ribicola).
Velmi zvláštní je allopatrické rozšíření vejmutovky: Její hlavní areál zaujímá prostor od Newfoundlandu až po jižní konec Appalačských hor (Tennessee), zatímco jedna subpopulace pronikla dokonce až do jižního Mexika (Chiapas) a Guatemaly. Příčinou její prosperity i v těchto velmi teplých a suchých („neborových“) oblastech jsou patrně geny získané v subtropech předešlých geologických období.
Borovice vejmutovka je jediným stromem, se kterým tvoří symbiózu klouzek bílý.
Využití
Borovice vejmutovka bývá vysazována jako okrasný strom v parcích a zahradách. Krom toho je vysazována v kulturních lesích jako zdroj velmi kvalitního dřeva. To je měkké, lehké, velmi trvanlivé a snadno štípatelné, lehce se obrábí (modelářské dřevo) a druhotně nepracuje (nesesychá se). Je trvanlivé v zemi i ve vodě, kde je podle některých údajů trvanlivější než dub. V Severní Americe se používá jako stavební a nábytkářské dřevo, dále k výrobě beden, latí, šindelů apod. Je důležitou surovinou pro výrobu celulózy, k výrobě sirek a jako palivo.

Weymouth-fyr
(
丹麥語

由wikipedia DA提供
Weymouthfyr (Pinus strobus), også skrevet Weymouth-Fyr, er et stort, stedsegrønt nåletræ med en vækst, som i ungdommen er slank og kegleformet, men som med tiden bliver mere åben og uregelmæssig.
Beskrivelse
Barken er først græsgrøn, men inden for et år bliver den lyst olivengrøn og blank. Senere er barken vedvarende glat og grågrøn, men med alderen kan den blive mørkegrå og fint furet. Knopperne er rustbrune, ægformede og spidse med spidse, tiltrykte skæl.
Nålene sidder i bundter med fem på hvert dværgskud. De er tæt samlede i bundtet, og de er tynde og mørkegrønne med hvide striber ind mod midten af bundtet. De hanlige blomster sidder samlet i små, ægformede stande inderst på skuddet, og de er gule med røde spidser. De hunlige blomster sidder i endestillede, kegleformede stande, og de er lyserøde. Koglerne er slanke og svagt krummede med udadbuede skæl.
Rodnettet er de første mange år domineret af en kraftig pælerod, men senere udvikles kraftige, højtliggende siderødder med stor rækkevidde.
Højde x bredde og årlig tilvækst: 25 x 12 m (50 x 25 cm/år).
Hjemsted
Arten er udbredt i hele det østlige Nordamerika fra Mississippi i vest til atlanterhavskysten i øst, og fra Hudsonbugten i nord til Florida, Louisiana og Alabama i syd. Den er skovdannende sammen med både nåle- og løvtræer på alle slags jorde, men den konkurrerer bedst på sur og mager, sandet jord. Arten er pionertræ på opgivne marker.
I området omkring Roosevelt i New Jersey, USA, findes arten i skove og som pionertræ sammen med bl.a. Konvalbusk, robinie, tulipantræ, amerikansk bøg, amerikansk knapbusk, amerikansk nældetræ, amerikansk platan, amerikansk vin, blyantene, brunfrugtet surbær, glansbladet hæg, hvid ask, hvid hickory, klatrevildvin, koralsumak, pennsylvansk vokspors, rødløn, skovtupelotræ, sukkerbirk, sumpeg, sumprose, virginsk ambratræ, virginsk troldnød, virginsk vinterbær og østamerikansk hemlock[1]
Anvendelse
Træer yder godt tømmer, men er sjældent plantet i Europa, da det angribes og dræbes af blærerust-svampen, som har værtskifte med arter fra ribs-slægten.
Sorter
-
Pinus strobus cv. 'Radiata' – med en lav, kugle- eller kegleformet vækst.
-
Pinus strobus cv. 'Macopin' – med en buskagtig, uregelmæssig vækst.

Weymouth-Kiefer
(
德語
)
由wikipedia DE提供
Die Strobe (Pinus strobus), auch Weymouth-Kiefer,[1][2] Weymouthskiefer oder Seidenkiefer genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung der Kiefern (Pinus) innerhalb der Familie der Kieferngewächse (Pinaceae). Im östlichen Nordamerika ist sie die größte Nadelbaum-Art, mit bis zu 500 Jahre alten Exemplaren.[3] Sie ist der offizielle Staatsbaum der US-Bundesstaaten Maine und Michigan.[4]
Das Eponym bezieht sich nicht auf den englischen Entdecker und Schriftsteller George Weymouth, der sie 1605 nach Europa brachte, sondern auf Thomas Thynne, 1. Viscount Weymouth, der sie im 18. Jahrhundert in England als Forstbaum etablierte.[5]
Beschreibung
Erscheinungsbild
Die Weymouth-Kiefer ist ein immergrüner Baum mit Wuchshöhen zwischen 25 und 35 Metern, der aber auch eine Höhe bis 67 Meter erreichen kann.[7] Der Brusthöhendurchmesser erreicht Werte von 1 bis 3 Metern. Sie kann bis zu 450 Jahre alt werden. Die säulenförmigen Stämme wachsen gerade und weisen eine starke Beastung auf. Die meist zu fünft in unregelmäßigen Quirlen stehenden Äste sind weit ausladend und gehen fast rechtwinkelig vom Stamm ab. An den Enden richten sie sich oft auf und sind büschelig benadelt. Junge Zweige sind sehr dünn. Freistehende Bäume bilden eine symmetrisch kegelförmige Krone aus, während Bäume im Bestand schmalkronig wachsen und einen langen astfreien Stamm haben. Altbäume, die im Bestand wachsen, bekommen eine breite und unregelmäßige Krone.[8][9]
Wurzelsystem
Das Hauptwurzelsystem besteht aus einer Pfahlwurzel und meist drei bis fünf weitreichenden Seitenwurzeln, welche bis in mittlere Bodentiefen vordringen. Die Pfahlwurzel von Altbäumen ist meist stark beschädigt, weshalb diese häufig vom Wind geworfen werden. Auf flachgründigen und schlecht drainierten Böden ist die Weymouth-Kiefer ein Flachwurzler, während auf tiefgründigen Böden von den Seitenwurzeln nach unten wachsende Senkerwurzeln abgehen. Kleine Seitenwurzeln werden direkt am Wurzelhals gebildet.
Die Weymouth-Kiefer bildet Ektomykorrhizen aus. Zu den häufigsten Mykorrhizapartnern gehören der Fliegenpilz (Amanita muscaria), der Pfifferling (Cantharellus cibarius), Russula lepida, Scleroderma vulgare, der Elfenbeinröhrling (Suillus placidus) und der Blutrote Filzröhrling (Xerocomus rubellus) sowie verschiedene Arten der Hohlfußröhrlinge (Boletinus), der Trichterlinge (Clitocybe) und der Milchlinge (Lactarius).[10]
Borke
Junge Bäume weisen eine dünne und glatte Borke auf, die dunkelgrün und oft etwas rötlich getönt ist. Altbäume haben eine 2,5 bis 5 Zentimeter dicke, rissige Borke. Diese ist graubraun gefärbt und in breite Schuppen aufgeteilt, welche durch flache Risse getrennt werden.[11] Die jungen Zweige haben eine grüne und flaumig behaarte Rinde, welche später kahl und orangefarben wird. Die Rinde von älteren Zweigen hat aufgrund von bleibenden Kurztriebnarben eine raue Oberfläche.[8]
Holz
Das cremefarbene bis strohgelbe Kernholz wird von einem nahezu weißen Splint umgeben. Es bestehen gleitende Übergänge zwischen Früh- und Spätholz. Vor allem im Spätholz sind die Harzkanäle gut erkennbar, welche einzeln oder in Gruppen von zwei oder drei stehen. Mit einer Darrdichte von 0,38 g/cm³ ist das weiche Strobenholz relativ leicht, aber stark belastbar. Es ist schraubenfest, sehr maßhaltig und lässt sich leicht bearbeiten, imprägnieren und trocknen, ist aber wenig dauerhaft. Selbst das Kernholz muss beim Verbau in fäulnisgefährdeten Lagen imprägniert werden.[11] Das Holz der Weymouth-Kiefer ist weich und leicht wird deshalb gerne als Material für Bienenbeuten genutzt.[12] Das Kurzzeichen als Handelsholz nach EN 13556 ist PNST.
Knospen und Nadeln
Die scharf zugespitzten, eiförmig-zylindrischen Winterknospen werden zwischen 0,4 und 1 Zentimeter lang und haben dünne, rötlich-braun gefärbte Knospenschuppen, die etwas verharzt sind.[8][9]
Die blau- bis dunkelgrünen Nadeln werden zwischen 6 und 12 Zentimeter lang und 0,7 bis 1 Millimeter breit. Sie stehen in Gruppen von fünf an den Kurztrieben in 1 bis 1,5 Zentimeter langen, hell orangebraunen[7] Nadelscheiden, die im August des ersten Jahres abfallen. Die Nadeln sind gerade, etwas gedreht, weich und biegsam. Im Querschnitt sind sie dreieckig und ihre Kanten sind fein gesägt. Nur die adaxialen Seiten tragen schmale, weiße Spaltöffnungsbänder. Es werden meist zwei, seltener ein oder drei Harzkanäle gebildet.[13] Die Nadeln verbleiben zwei bis drei Jahre am Baum, ehe sie sich braun verfärben und im Herbst abfallen.[8][9]
Blüten, Zapfen und Samen
Die Strobe ist einhäusig-getrenntgeschlechtig (monözisch) und wird mit 5 bis 10 Jahren mannbar, wobei männliche Blütenzapfen nicht vor dem 9. Jahr ausgebildet werden. Die Blütezeit erstreckt sich von Mai bis Juni. Die hellbraunen bis braunen männlichen Blütenzapfen sind oval und werden 0,8 bis 1 Zentimeter lang. Man findet sie grundständig stehend an diesjährigen Trieben im unteren Kronenbereich. Die bis zu 1,2 Zentimeter langen weiblichen Blütenzapfen sind rosafarben bis purpurrot gefärbt. Sie wachsen in Gruppen von zwei bis vier[7] meist im oberen Kronenbereich an der Spitze von älteren Trieben.[14] Im Gegensatz zu den weiblichen Blütenzapfen werden die männlichen nicht jedes Jahr gebildet. Die Bestäubung erfolgt Mitte Juni. Gelegentlich tritt Selbstbefruchtung auf.[15]
Die Zapfen sind nach der Bestäubung grün gefärbt und reifen im zweiten Jahr. Zur Reife sind sie braun gefärbt, selten nur 5 meist 8 bis 20 und manchmal bis 25 Zentimeter lang mit Durchmessern von rund 2,5 Zentimetern im geschlossenen und von 4 bis 8 Zentimetern im geöffneten Zustand. Sie sind in der Form zylindrisch, schmal und leicht gebogen. Man findet sie an bis zu 2 Zentimeter langen Stielen hängend, einzeln oder in Gruppen an zweijährigen Zweigen im oberen Kronenbereich. Jüngere Zapfen sind oft verharzt. Die 40 bis 100[13] relativ großen Zapfenschuppen sind dünn holzig, eiförmig und biegsam. Die Apophyse ist stumpf und blass braun bis graubraun und auf mittig stehenden Schuppen im Umriss mehr oder weniger rhombisch und geht in einen stumpfen, endständigen Umbo über. Pro Zapfenschuppe entwickeln sich zwei Samen. Die reifen Samen werden Anfang August des zweiten Jahres entlassen, die leeren Zapfen fallen im Winter vom Baum.[15][7]
Die abgeflachten, breit verkehrt eiförmigen bis beinahe dreieckigen, selten ab 5, meist 7 bis 8 und manchmal bis 9 Millimeter langen Samen sind rötlich-braun bis grau und schwarz gefleckt und tragen einen 20 bis 28 Millimeter langen, blassbraunen Flügel, welcher sich nur mit zwei kleinen, seitlichen Anhängseln am Samenkörper festhält.[15][7] Das Tausendkorngewicht liegt zwischen 8,6 und 22,7 Gramm.
Die Ausbreitung erfolgt großteils durch den Wind (Anemochorie). Die Weymouth-Kiefer vermehrt sich hauptsächlich generativ, sie ist aber auch in der Lage, Absenker zu bilden.[11]

Verbreitung und Standort
Verbreitungsgebiete von
Pinus strobus var.
strobus (
grün) und
Pinus strobus var.
chiapensis (
rot)
Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet reicht von Kanada und den Vereinigten Staaten bis nach Süd-Mexiko und Guatemala, wobei es zwischen den Beständen in Nordamerika und denen in Mittelamerika eine Lücke von 2400 Kilometern gibt, welche die beiden Varietäten Pinus strobus var. strobus und Pinus strobus var. chiapensis voneinander trennt.[17]
Im Nordteil des Verbreitungsgebiets findet man die Art meist auf niedrigen Hügeln und in den Appalachen bis in eine Höhe von 1200 Metern. Es werden sowohl feuchte Flussniederungen, Moore, trockene und sandige Ebenen, steile und felsige Hänge sowie Felskuppen besiedelt. Optimal sind frische Sande und Lehme sowie Kiese, die gut drainiert sind. Seltener werden Tone und vernässte Böden besiedelt. Sie wächst dort in Gesellschaften der Klasse Pinetea strobi.[18] Als Pionier besiedelt die Weymouth-Kiefer Brandflächen, aufgelassene Äcker, Wiesen und Windwurfflächen, wird aber auf Standorten mittlerer Qualität häufig von Laubbäumen verdrängt. Auf Standorten niederer Qualität erweist sie sich aufgrund ihrer Anspruchslosigkeit jedoch als überlegen. Der pH-Wert der besiedelten Böden liegt zwischen 4,7 und 7,0. Die jährliche Niederschlagsmenge beträgt je nach Standort 510 bis 2030 mm, wovon etwa die Hälfte zwischen April und September fällt. Die Winter sind kalt und reich an Schnee.[19][14][17]
Das Verbreitungsgebiet der Varietät chiapensis liegt in feuchten Berggebieten mit häufigen Nebeln in Höhen von 800 bis 2000 Metern. Der Niederschlagsmenge kann Werte von bis zu 3000 Millimetern erreichen. Frost tritt nicht auf.[17] Beide Varietäten wachsen in Mischwäldern zusammen mit anderen Nadel- oder Laubbaumarten, wobei mehrere Laubbaumarten, beispielsweise der Amerikanische Amberbaum (Liquidambar styraciflua) oder die Spätblühende Traubenkirsche (Prunus serotina), mit ähnlich weit auseinander liegenden Verbreitungsgebieten sowohl in den Appalachen als auch in Mexiko und Guatemala vorkommen.[20][21]
Die Strobe wuchs 1999 auf 0,26 % der bayerischen Waldflächen und ist damit nach Douglasie und Japanlärche die dritthäufigste Fremdbaumart. Die Bäume wurden überwiegend um 1900 gepflanzt; nach 1925 geschah dies wegen der Ausbreitung des Blasenrosts (Cronartium ribicola) kaum noch.
Die Strobe erbringt einen höheren Ertrag als die Kiefer und das Holz erzielt etwas höhere Preise. Sie hat geringe Nährstoffansprüche, ist auf Buntsandstein und Kreide der Kiefer überlegen und besiedelt extreme Standorte wie Sand-, Schotter-, Block- und Moorböden. Sie ist frost- und spätfrosthart und wenig nassschneegefährdet. Die besten Wachstumsbedingungen sind auf frischen, feuchten und wechselfeuchten Böden gegeben.[22]
Gefährdung und Schutz
In der Roten Liste der IUCN wird Pinus strobus als nicht gefährdet („Least Concern“) eingestuft. Die Art hat in Nordamerika ein sehr großes Verbreitungsgebiet und die Varietät strobus breitet sich in vielen Gebieten stark aus. Die großen Bestände, die von den europäischen Siedlern stark genutzt wurden, waren bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts verbraucht. Voll ausgewachsene Bäume sind selten, doch ist die Art durch den starken Zuwachs nicht gefährdet. Auch gibt es viele Bestände in geschützten Bereichen.[23] Pinus strobus var. chiapensis wird jedoch als stark gefährdet („Endangered“) geführt. Die Varietät hat ebenfalls ein großes Verbreitungsgebiet („extent of occurrence“), jedoch sind die Populationen meist klein (5 bis 20 Hektar) und isoliert. Die größten Bestände gibt es in Chiapas und Oaxaca, die größte davon bei El Rincon in Oaxaca mit etwa 50.000 ausgewachsenen Bäumen auf einem Gebiet von 1500 Hektar. Die tatsächlich bewachsenen Flächen („area of occupancy“) werden zusammen auf etwa 400 Quadratkilometer geschätzt, und die Bestände gehen weiterhin zurück. Früher wurden die Bestände übernutzt, weil das Holz für die Schifffahrt Verwendung fand. Obwohl die Holzqualität gut ist und die Bäume lokal zur Holzgewinnung verwendet werden, besteht die Hauptgefahr in der Abholzung der Bestände für den Mais- oder Kaffeeanbau oder der Errichtung von Weiden für Rinder. Eine weitere Gefahr ist das Eindringen gebietsfremder Arten wie der Schachtelhalmblättrigen Kasuarine (Casuarina equisetifolia) oder der Mexikanischen Zypresse (Cupressus lusitanica).[24]
Das Bundesamt für Naturschutz schätzt Pinus strobus als invasive Art ein und hat sie auf die Managementliste der Schwarzen Liste invasiver Arten gesetzt, da sie einheimische Arten verdrängen kann.[25]
Systematik
Die Weymouth-Kiefer wird innerhalb der Gattung der Kiefern (Pinus) der Untergattung Strobus, der Sektion Quinquefoliae und der Subsektion Strobus zugeordnet. Die heute gültige Erstbeschreibung als Pinus strobus erfolgte im Jahre 1753 durch den schwedischen Naturforscher Carl von Linné.[26] Es werden zwei Varietäten unterschieden:
-
Pinus strobus var. strobus (Syn.: Pinus nivea Booth ex Carrière, Pinus strobus subsp. cumberlandensis Silba)[27]: Die Nadeln sind durchschnittlich 8 Zentimeter lang. Die Samenzapfen erreichen eine Länge von selten 8, meist 10 bis 18 und manchmal bis 20 Zentimeter, deren Stiel ist bis zu 3 Zentimeter lang. Es werden durchschnittlich 70 Samenschuppen gebildet, die sterilen Schuppen an der Basis sind zurückgebogen. Das Verbreitungsgebiet der Varietät liegt im Osten Nordamerikas.[20][21] Die Varietät strobus findet man in den Waldgebieten um die Großen Seen und den Sankt-Lorenz-Strom. Die nördliche Verbreitungsgrenze erstreckt sich von den borealen Nadelwäldern Neufundlands über den Oberen See bis ins südöstliche Manitoba. Die Westgrenze verläuft durch Wisconsin, Südost-Minnesota, Nordost-Iowa und Illinois. Von diesen Staaten verläuft die Südgrenze zurück zur Atlantikküste Neuenglands, erstreckt sich aber entlang der Appalachen bis in die Laubwaldregionen Nordwest-South Carolinas und Nord-Georgias.[28]

Pinus strobus var. chiapensis Martínez (Syn.: Pinus chiapensis (Martínez) Andresen, Pinus strobus subsp. chiapensis (Martínez) A.E.Murray)[27]: Die Nadeln sind durchschnittlich 10 Zentimeter lang. Die Zapfen haben eine sehr variable Länge zwischen 6 und 25 Zentimetern, der Stiel ist bis zu 4,5 Zentimeter lang. Es werden durchschnittlich 90 Samenschuppen gebildet, die Schuppen nahe der Basis sind nicht zurückgebogen.[20][21] Die Varietät wurde 1940 von Maximino Martínez als Varietät von Pinus strobus erstbeschrieben.[29] John William Andresen benannte das Taxon als eigene Art Pinus chiapensis (Martínez) Andresen,[30] was durch morphometrische Untersuchungen gestützt wird.[31] Von den meisten Autoren werden die Unterschiede jedoch als zu gering angesehen, und sie blieben bei der Einstufung als Varietät.[20][21][4][32] Das Verbreitungsgebiet der Varietät chiapensis liegt in Mexiko in Guerrero, im Osten von Puebla, in Veracruz, in Oaxaca und Chiapas und in Guatemala im Departamento Quiché und im Departamento Huehuetenango.[33] Die beiden Populationen waren wahrscheinlich noch zur Eiszeit miteinander verbunden, als viele Baumarten durch den Vorstoß der Gletscher nach Süden verdrängt wurden.[7]
Hybriden
Die Weymouth-Kiefer bildet mit den meisten anderen Vertretern der Untersektion Strobus Hybriden, Ausnahmen sind die Zuckerkiefer (Pinus lambertiana) und Armands Kiefer (Pinus armandii).[21] Mit der Westlichen Weymouth-Kiefer (Pinus monticola) und mit der Tränenkiefer Pinus wallichiana bildet die Art luxurierende Hybriden.[34] Die Kreuzung mit der Tränenkiefer wird als Pinus ×schwerinii Fitschen bezeichnet.[35]
Nutzung
Die Weymouth-Kiefer war früher der wichtigste Holzlieferant im Osten Nordamerikas. Während der Kolonialzeit verbot die britische Regierung den Kolonisten das Fällen von größeren Vertretern der Art, weil sie die Bäume ausschließlich für die britische Marine als Masten der Schiffe verwenden wollte. Aufgrund der intensiven Nutzung existieren heute kaum noch Altbestände. Aus dem Holz wurden viele Bauernhöfe, Fabriken und Städte im Osten und Mittleren Westen der USA errichtet. Es kann vielfältig im Innen- und Außenbau verwendet werden. Heute wird der Großteil des Holzes zu Schnitt- und Sperrholz verarbeitet sowie zur Möbel-, Papier- und Spielzeugherstellung genutzt. Weitere Nutzungsmöglichkeiten existieren in der Kunstschreinerei und als Konstruktionsholz. Das belastbare und nach Imprägnierung auch dauerhafte Holz lässt sich leicht nageln, ist geradfaserig, verwirft nur wenig und trocknet leicht. Es wirkt aufgrund seiner homogenen Struktur attraktiv und nimmt Farben gut an und wurde früher auch zum Schiffsbau verwendet.[36][20]
Die Weymouth-Kiefer wird häufig gepflanzt, nicht nur zur Holzgewinnung, sondern auch im Stadtbereich und zur Wiederaufforstung von durch den Kohlenabbau beeinträchtigten Flächen. US-Amerikaner und Kanadier verwenden Vertreter der Art auch häufig als Christbäume, da sie gut in die richtige Form gebracht werden können. Gärtnerisch werden mehrere Kultivare verwendet, darunter besonders häufig zwergwüchsige Formen.[20]

In den Schwarzwald eingebrachte Weymouth-Kiefern werden im Handwerk von Holzbildhauern wegen des Holzes bevorzugt zum Bau von Kuckucksuhren genutzt.[37]
Krankheiten und Schädlinge
Die Weymouth-Kiefer wird in ihrem natürlichen Verbreitungsgebiet von vielen pilzlichen und tierischen Schädlingen bedroht, wovon einige eingeschleppt wurden. Die Gefährdung durch Schadpilze stieg erst, als die Art auf ungeeigneten Standorten forstwirtschaftlich angebaut wurde. Der aus Europa eingeschleppte Strobenrost (Cronartium ribicola) ist der gefährlichste und am weitesten verbreitete Schadpilz der Weymouth-Kiefer. Es werden sowohl junge als auch alte Bäume, besonders in Regionen mit hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit sowie an den Randgebieten der Großen Seen, befallen. Ein Befall am Stamm kann bei jungen Bäumen zum Absterben führen. Ein Befall an den Ästen senkt den Zierwert und ist vor allem für Christbaumkulturen gefährlich. Stammfäule wird durch den Violetten Knorpelschichtpilz (Chondrostereum purpureum) sowie durch den Kiefern-Feuerschwamm (Phellinus pini) hervorgerufen. Der Dunkle Hallimasch (Armillaria ostoyae), der Wurzelschwamm (Heterobasidion annosum) und der Kiefern-Braunporling (Phaeolus schweinitzii) rufen Wurzelfäule hervor, richten aber nur geringe Schäden an.[38]
Der Echte Kiefernrüssler (Pissodes pini) hat von den 277 an der Weymouth-Kiefer nachgewiesenen Schadinsekten die größte wirtschaftliche Bedeutung. Er ruft an den Bäumen Stammkrümmungen und Zuwachsverluste hervor, da er die Gipfeltriebe abtötet und der Baum die oberen Lateraltriebe aufrichtet. Junge Bäume können bei einem Befall absterben. Schwere Schäden werden vor allem in zwei- bis dreijährigen Beständen sowie in Christbaumkulturen verursacht. Die Raupen des Kieferntriebwicklers (Rhyacionia buoliana) höhlen die Gipfeltriebe aus. Die befallenen Bäume entwickeln Deformationen, sterben aber nicht ab. Der Rüsselkäfer Hylobius pales frisst an der Rinde von bis zu fünfjährigen Bäumen. Es treten häufig Abgänge auf. Conophthorus coniperda kommt im gesamten Verbreitungsgebiet der Weymouth-Kiefer vor. Er befällt vor allem einjährige Zapfen und ist in der Lage, die Zapfenernte eines ganzen Jahres zu vernichten.[38]
Die Weymouth-Kiefer reagiert empfindlich gegenüber Spätfrösten. Eisbehang sowie Nassschnee können zum Abbrechen von Ästen und zu Stammbrüchen führen. Die Art wird als der immissionsempfindlichste Baum aller nordamerikanischen Baumarten angesehen. Sie reagiert insbesondere gegen Fluorwasserstoff sehr empfindlich. Von einigen Autoren wird sie jedoch als nur mäßig anfällig gegenüber Ozon und Schwefeldioxid eingestuft.
Waldbrände erweisen sich oft als bestandsbedrohend, da es noch nach mehreren Jahren zu Abgängen kommen kann. Vor allem junge Bäume sind aufgrund ihrer dünnen Borke besonders waldbrandgefährdet.[38]
Symbolik
Als stark verbreitete Art im östlichen Nordamerika wurde die Weymouth-Kiefer als offizielles Symbol der US-Bundesstaaten Maine und Michigan, sowie der kanadischen Provinz Ontario ausgewählt. Seit September 2017 wird sie auch als Symbol der fünf Stämme der Irokesen-Konföderation im Wappen und in der Flagge von Montreal abgebildet.[39]

Weymouth-Kiefer: Brief Summary
(
德語
)
由wikipedia DE提供
Die Strobe (Pinus strobus), auch Weymouth-Kiefer, Weymouthskiefer oder Seidenkiefer genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung der Kiefern (Pinus) innerhalb der Familie der Kieferngewächse (Pinaceae). Im östlichen Nordamerika ist sie die größte Nadelbaum-Art, mit bis zu 500 Jahre alten Exemplaren. Sie ist der offizielle Staatsbaum der US-Bundesstaaten Maine und Michigan.
Das Eponym bezieht sich nicht auf den englischen Entdecker und Schriftsteller George Weymouth, der sie 1605 nach Europa brachte, sondern auf Thomas Thynne, 1. Viscount Weymouth, der sie im 18. Jahrhundert in England als Forstbaum etablierte.

由wikipedia EN提供
Pinus strobus, commonly called the eastern white pine, northern white pine, white pine, Weymouth pine (British), and soft pine[2] is a large pine native to eastern North America. It occurs from Newfoundland, Canada west through the Great Lakes region to southeastern Manitoba and Minnesota, United States, and south along the Appalachian Mountains and upper Piedmont to northernmost Georgia and perhaps very rarely in some of the higher elevations in northeastern Alabama.[3] It is considered rare in Indiana.[4]
The Native American Haudenosaunee named it the "Tree of Peace". It is known as the "Weymouth pine" in the United Kingdom,[5] after Captain George Weymouth of the British Royal Navy, who brought its seeds to England from Maine in 1605.[6]
Distribution
Partial distribution map of
P. strobus in North America
P. strobus is found in the nearctic temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome of eastern North America. It prefers well-drained or sandy soils and humid climates, but can also grow in boggy areas and rocky highlands. In mixed forests, this dominant tree towers over many others, including some of the large broadleaf hardwoods. It provides food and shelter for numerous forest birds, such as the red crossbill, and small mammals such as squirrels.
Fossilized white pine leaves and pollen have been discovered by Brian Axsmith, a paleobotanist at the University of South Alabama, in the Gulf Coastal Plain, where the tree no longer occurs.[7]
Eastern white pine forests originally covered much of north-central and northeastern North America. Only 1% of the old-growth forests remain after the extensive logging operations from the 18th century to early 20th century.
Old-growth forests, or virgin stands, are protected in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Other protected areas with known virgin forests, as confirmed by the Eastern Native Tree Society, include Algonquin Provincial Park, Quetico Provincial Park, Algoma Highlands in Ontario, and Sainte-Marguerite River Old Forest in Quebec, Canada; Estivant Pines, Huron Mountains, Porcupine Mountains State Park, and Sylvania Wilderness Area in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, United States; Hartwick Pines State Park in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan; Menominee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin; Lost 40 Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) and Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota; White Pines State Park, Illinois; Cook Forest State Park, Hearts Content Scenic Area, and Anders Run Natural Area in Pennsylvania; and the Linville Gorge Wilderness in North Carolina, United States.
Small groves or individual specimens of old-growth eastern white pines are found across the range of the species in the USA, including in Ordway Grove, Maine; Ice Glen, Massachusetts; and Adirondack Park, New York. Many sites with conspicuously large specimens represent advanced old-field ecological succession. The tall stands in Mohawk Trail State Forest and William Cullen Bryant Homestead in Massachusetts are examples.
As an introduced species, P. strobus is now naturalizing in the Outer Western Carpathians subdivision of the Carpathian Mountains in Czech Republic and southern Poland. It has spread from specimens planted as ornamental trees.
Description
Like most members of the white pine group, Pinus subgenus Strobus, the leaves ("needles") are coniferous, occurring in fascicles (bundles) of five, or rarely three or four, with a deciduous sheath. The leaves are flexible, bluish-green, finely serrated, and 5–13 cm (2–5 in) long.
The seed cones are slender, 8–16 cm (3+1⁄4–6+1⁄4 in) long (rarely longer than that) and 4–5 cm (1+1⁄2–2 in) broad when open, and have scales with a rounded apex and slightly reflexed tip, often resinous. The seeds are 4–5 mm (5⁄32–3⁄16 in) long, with a slender 15–20 mm (5⁄8–3⁄4 in) wing, and are dispersed by wind. Cone production peaks every 3 to 5 years.
The branches are spaced about every 18 inches on the trunk with five or six branches appearing like spokes on a wagon wheel. Eastern white pine is self-fertile, but seeds produced this way tend to result in weak, stunted, and malformed seedlings. Mature trees are often 200–250 years old, and some live over 400 years. A tree growing near Syracuse, New York, was dated to 458 years old in the late 1980s and trees in Michigan and Wisconsin were dated to roughly 500 years old.

Dimensions
Measuring the circumference of an eastern white pine
The eastern white pine has been described as the tallest tree in eastern North America, perhaps sharing the prize with the deciduous tulip tree whose range overlaps with eastern white pine in a few areas. In natural precolonial stands, the pine is reported to have grown as tall as 70 m (230 ft). No means exist for accurately documenting the height of trees from these times, but eastern white pine may have reached this height on rare occasions. Even greater heights have been reported in popular, but unverifiable, accounts such as Robert Pike's Tall Trees, Tough Men.
Total trunk volumes of the largest specimens are around 28 m3 (990 cu ft), with some past giants possibly reaching 37 to 40 m3 (1,300 to 1,400 cu ft). Photographic analysis of giants suggests volumes closer to 34 m3 (1,200 cu ft).
Height
P. strobus grows about 1 m (3.3 ft) annually between the ages of 15 and 45 years, with slower height increments before and after that age range.[8] The tallest presently living specimens are 50–57.55 m (164 ft 1 in – 188 ft 10 in) tall, as determined by the Native Tree Society (NTS).[9] Prior to their exploitation, it was common for white pines in northern Wisconsin to reach heights of over 61 m (200 ft).[10] Three locations in the Southeastern United States and one site in the Northeastern United States have trees that are 55 m (180 ft) tall.
The southern Appalachian Mountains have the most locations and the tallest trees in the present range of P. strobus. One survivor is a specimen known as the "Boogerman Pine" in the Cataloochee Valley of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. At 57.55 m (188 ft 10 in) tall, it is the tallest accurately measured tree in North America east of the Rocky Mountains, though this conflicts with citations for Liriodendron tulipifera. It has been climbed and measured by tape drop by the NTS. Before Hurricane Opal broke its top in October 1995, Boogerman Pine was 63 m (207 ft) tall, as determined by Will Blozan and Robert Leverett using ground-based measurements.
The tallest specimens in Hartwick Pines State Park in Michigan are 45–48 m (148–157 ft) tall.
In the northeastern USA, eight sites in four states currently have trees over 48 m (157 ft) tall, as confirmed by the NTS. The Cook Forest State Park of Pennsylvania has the most numerous collection of 45 m (148 ft) eastern white pines in the Northeast, with 110 trees measuring that height or more. The park's "Longfellow Pine" is the tallest presently living eastern white pine in the Northeast, at 55.96 m (183 ft 7 in) tall, as determined by tape drop.[11] The Mohawk Trail State Forest of Massachusetts has 83 trees measuring 45 m (148 ft) or more tall, of which six exceed 48.8 m (160 ft). The "Jake Swamp Tree" located there is 51.54 m (169 ft 1 in) tall.[12][13] The NTS maintains precise measurements of it. A private property in Claremont, New Hampshire, has approximately 60 specimens that are 45 m (148 ft) tall.
Diameter
Diameters of the larger pines range from 1.0–1.6 m (3 ft 3 in – 5 ft 3 in), which translates to a circumference (girth) range of 3.1–5.0 m (10 ft 2 in – 16 ft 5 in). However, single-trunked white pines in both the Northeast and Southeast with diameters over 1.45 m (4 ft 9 in) are exceedingly rare. Notable big pine sites of 40 ha (99 acres) or less often have no more than two or three trees in the 1.2- to 1.4-m-diameter class.

Unconfirmed reports from the colonial era gave diameters of virgin white pines of up to 2.4 m (8 ft).[14]
Mortality and disease
An illustration dated 1902, showing a variety of insect pests affecting eastern white pine
Because the eastern white pine tree is somewhat resistant to fire, mature survivors are able to reseed burned areas. In pure stands, mature trees usually have no branches on the lower half of their trunks. The white pine weevil (Pissodes strobi) and white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola), an introduced fungus, can damage or kill these trees.
Blister rust
Mortality from white pine blister rust in mature pine groves was often 50–80% during the early 20th century. The fungus must spend part of its lifecycle on alternate hosts of the genus Ribes, the native gooseberry or wild currant. Foresters proposed that if all the alternate host plants were removed, white pine blister rust might be eliminated. A very determined campaign was mounted, and all land owners in commercial pine-growing regions were encouraged to uproot and kill all native gooseberry and wild currant plants.[14][15] The ramifications for wildlife and habitat ecology were of less concern at the time than timber-industry protection.
Today, native wild currants are relatively rare plants in New England, and planting wild currants or wild gooseberries is strongly discouraged, or even illegal in some jurisdictions. As an alternative, new strains of commercial currants have been developed that are highly resistant to white pine blister rust. Mortality in white pines from rust is only about 3% today.
Conservation status in the United States
Old white pines are treasured in the United States. An American National Natural Landmark, Cook Forest State Park in Pennsylvania, contains the tallest known tree in the Northeastern United States, a white pine named Longfellow Pine.[16] Some white pines in Wisconsin are over 200 years old.[17] Although widely planted as a landscape tree in the Midwestern states,[18] native White pine is listed as "rare or uncommon" in Indiana.[3][19]
Historical uses
Lumber
In the 19th century, the harvesting of Midwestern white pine forests played a major role in America's westward expansion through the Great Plains. A quarter-million white pines were harvested and sent to lumber yards in Chicago in a single year.[20]
The white pine had aesthetic appeal to contemporary naturalists such as Henry David Thoreau ("There is no finer tree.")[21] Beyond that, it had commercial applications. It was considered "the most sought and most widely utilized of the various forest growths of the northwest."[22] Descriptions of its uses are quoted below from a 19th-century source:
Being of a soft texture and easily worked, taking paint better than almost any other variety of wood, it has been found adaptable to all the uses demanded in the building art, from the manufacture of packing cases to the bearing timber and finer finish of a dwelling. Of light weight, it has borne transportation to the farms of the west, where it is used for building purposes in dwellings, barns, and corn cribs, while as a fencing material it has no superior. Aside from those conditions which demand a dense strong timber, such as ship-building or in wagon-making, white pine has been found adaptable to all the economic uses in which lumber is required, not excluding its use in coarser articles of furniture. No wood has found greater favor or entered more fully into supplying all those wants of man which could be found in the forest growths.[22]
The species was imported in 1620 to England by Captain George Weymouth, who planted it for a timber crop, but had little success because of white pine blister rust disease.
Old-growth pine in the Americas, of various Pinus species, was a highly desired wood since huge, knot-free boards were the rule rather than the exception. Pine was common and easy to cut, thus many colonial homes used pine for paneling, floors, and furniture. Pine was also a favorite tree of loggers, since pine logs can still be processed in a lumber mill a year or more after being cut down. In contrast, most hardwood trees such as cherry, maple, oak, and ash must be cut into 1" thick boards immediately after felling, or else large cracks will develop in the trunk which can render the wood worthless.[14]
Although eastern white pine was frequently used for flooring in buildings constructed before the U.S. Civil War, the wood is soft and tends to cup over time with wear. George Washington opted for the much harder southern yellow pine at Mount Vernon, instead.[14]
Mast pines
During the 17th and 18th centuries, tall white pines in the Thirteen Colonies became known as "mast pines". Marked by agents of the Crown with the broad arrow, a mast pine was reserved for the British Royal Navy. Special barge-like vessels were built to ship tall white pines to England. The wood was often squared to better fit in the holds of these ships.[14] A 30-metre (100 ft) mast was about 0.91 m × 0.91 m (3 ft × 3 ft) at the butt and 0.61 m × 0.61 m (2 ft × 2 ft) at the top, while a 37-metre (120 ft) mast was 1.2 m × 1.2 m (4 ft × 4 ft) by 0.76 m (30 in) on its ends.
By 1719, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, had become the hub of pine logging and shipping. Portsmouth shipped 199 masts to England that year. In all, about 4500 masts were sent to England.[23]
The eastern white pine played a significant role in the events leading to the American Revolution.[24][25][26] Marking of large white pines by the Crown had become controversial in the colonies by the first third of the 18th century. In 1734, the King's men were assaulted and beaten in Exeter, New Hampshire, in what was to be called the Mast Tree Riot. Colonel David Dunbar had been in the town investigating a stock pile of white pine in a pond and the ownership of the local timber mill before caning two townspeople.[27] In 1772, the sheriff of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, was sent to the town of Weare to arrest mill owners for the illegal possession of large white pines. That night, as the sheriff slept at the Pine Tree Tavern, he was attacked and nearly killed by an angry mob of colonists. This act of rebellion, later to become known as the Pine Tree Riot, may have fueled the Boston Tea Party in 1773.
After the Revolutionary War, the fledgling United States used large white pines to build out its own navy. The masts of the USS Constitution were originally made of eastern white pine.[28] The original masts were single trees, but were later replaced by laminated spars to better withstand cannonballs.
In colonial times, an unusually large, lone, white pine was found in coastal South Carolina along the Black River, far east of its southernmost normal range. The king's mark was carved into it, giving rise to the town of Kingstree.[29]
Eastern white pine is now widely grown in plantation forestry within its native area.
Contemporary uses
Lumber
Timber framing
Eastern white pine has often been used for timber frames, and is available in large sizes. Eastern white pine timbers are not particularly strong, so timbers increase in size to handle loads applied. This species accepts stains better than most, but it has little rot resistance, so should be used only in dry conditions.
Characteristics
Freshly cut eastern white pine is yellowish white or a pale straw color, but pine wood which has aged many years tends to darken to a deep, rich, golden tan. Occasionally, one can find light brown pine boards with unusual yellowish-golden or reddish-brown hues. This is the famous "pumpkin pine". Slow growing pines in old-growth forests are thought to accumulate colored products in the heartwood, but genetic factors and soil conditions may also play a role in rich color development.[25]
This wood is also favored by patternmakers for its easy working.
Foods and medicines
Eastern white pine needles exceed the amount of vitamin C of lemons and oranges[30] and make an excellent herbal tea. The cambium is edible. It is also a source of resveratrol. Linnaeus noted in the 18th century that cattle and pigs fed pine bark bread grew well, but he personally did not like the taste. Caterpillars of Lusk's pinemoth (Coloradia luski) have been found to feed only on P. strobus.
Pine tar is produced by slowly burning pine roots, branches, or small trunks in a partially smothered flame. Pine tar mixed with beer can be used to remove tapeworms (flat worms) or nematodes (round worms). Pine tar mixed with sulfur is useful to treat dandruff, and marketed in present-day products. Pine tar can also be processed to make turpentine.[31]
- Native American traditional uses
The name "Adirondack", an Iroquois word that means tree-eater, referred to their neighbors (more commonly known as the Algonquians) who collected the inner bark of P. strobus, Picea rubens, and others during times of winter starvation. The white, soft inner bark (cambial layer) was carefully separated from the hard, dark brown bark and dried. When pounded, this product can be used as flour or added to stretch other starchy products.[32][33]
The young staminate cones were stewed by the Ojibwe Indians with meat, and were said to be sweet and not pitchy. In addition, the seeds are sweet and nutritious, but not as tasty as those of some of the western nut pines.[32]
Pine resin (sap) has been used by various tribes to waterproof baskets, pails, and boats. The Chippewa also used pine resin to successfully treat infections and even gangrenous wounds,[32] because pine resin apparently has a number of quite efficient antimicrobials. Generally, a wet pulp from the inner bark, or pine tar mixed with beeswax or butter was applied to wounds and used as a salve to prevent infection.
Cultivation
P. strobus is cultivated by plant nurseries as an ornamental tree, for planting in gardens and parks.[34] The species is low-maintenance and rapid-growing as a specimen tree. With regular shearing, it can also be trained as a hedge. Some cultivars are used in bonsai. [35]
Cultivars
Cultivars have been selected for small to dwarf mature forms, and foliage color characteristics.[35] They include:
Christmas trees
Smaller specimens are popular as live Christmas trees. Eastern white pines are noted for holding their needles well, even long after being harvested. They also are well suited for people with allergies, as they give little to no aroma. A standard 1.8-meter (6 ft) tree takes around 6 to 8 years to grow in ideal conditions. Sheared varieties are usually desired because of their stereotypical Christmas tree conical shape, as naturally grown ones can be sparse, or grow bushy in texture.[36] The branches of the eastern white pine are also widely used in making holiday wreaths and garlands because of their soft, feathery needles.
Water filtration
White pine xylem has been used as a filter to clean certain bacteria from contaminated water.[37] Hemacytometer tests revealed that at least 99.9% of bacteria tested were rejected after being passed through white pine xylem.[38]
Symbolism
The eastern white pine is the provincial tree of Ontario, Canada.[39]
In the United States, it is the state tree of Maine (as of 1945)[40] and Michigan (as of 1955).[41] Its "pine cone and tassel" is also the state flower of Maine, and is prominently featured on the state’s license plates.[42] Sprigs of eastern white pine were worn as badges as a symbol of Vermont identity during the Vermont Republic and are depicted in a stained-glass window in the Vermont State House, on the Flag of Vermont, and on the naval ensign of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the state of Maine. The 1901 Maine Flag prominently featured the tree during its brief tenure as Maine's state flag. The Maine State Guard also use the tree in their uniform badges.
The Native American Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederation) named it the "Tree of Peace".

Pinus strobus: Brief Summary
(
英語
)
由wikipedia EN提供
Pinus strobus, commonly called the eastern white pine, northern white pine, white pine, Weymouth pine (British), and soft pine is a large pine native to eastern North America. It occurs from Newfoundland, Canada west through the Great Lakes region to southeastern Manitoba and Minnesota, United States, and south along the Appalachian Mountains and upper Piedmont to northernmost Georgia and perhaps very rarely in some of the higher elevations in northeastern Alabama. It is considered rare in Indiana.
The Native American Haudenosaunee named it the "Tree of Peace". It is known as the "Weymouth pine" in the United Kingdom, after Captain George Weymouth of the British Royal Navy, who brought its seeds to England from Maine in 1605.

El pino canadiense (Pinus strobus), el pino de Weymouth, pino estrobo o ,[2] también pino blanco americano,[3] es una especie arbórea de la familia de las pináceas, género Pinus, originaria del este de Norteamérica. Se encuentra desde la isla de Terranova al oeste a Minnesota y sureste de Manitoba, y al sur a lo largo de los Montes Apalaches hasta el límite norte de Georgia. Otros nombres en inglés: White Pine, Northern White Pine o Soft Pine. La denominación pino de Weymouth, en inglés, Weymouth Pine,[4] es más frecuente en el Reino Unido. Además, este árbol es conocido por los Nativos Americanos Haudenosaunee como Tree of Great Peace (Árbol de la Gran Paz).
Descripción
Soporta bien los inviernos fríos y se desarrolla sobre suelos húmedos bien drenados. Crece en bosques mixtos, con especies de árboles frondosos y resinosos. Puede alcanzar una altura de 40 metros y un diámetro de 1,5 metros.
Crece rápidamente, alcanzado el tamaño de 10 metros en 20 años. Sus primeras piñas aparecen hacia los treinta años. Sus semillas maduran en septiembre del año que sigue a la fecundación.
La corteza es lisa, verde grisácea en los árboles jóvenes, antes de broncearse y agrietarse con la edad. Sus hojas son aciculares, son finas y suaves. Las acículas son largas de 6 a 12 centímetros y están agrupadas de a 5 por fascículo. El cono maduro mide de 7 a 15 centímetros. Las extremidades de sus escamas quedan claras con relación al centro. Las semillas tienen una ala de 5 mm que ayuda a su dispersión.
El árbol soporta bastante mal la contaminación. Como todos los pinos, es un pirófito, y los árboles maduros supervivientes pueden resembrar las áreas quemadas. En manchas puras de árboles no presentan ramas en la mitad inferior del tronco.
Es sensible a Cronartium ribicola, la roya del grosellero, un hongo introducido que puede dañar o matar estos árboles.
Uso
La madera de los árboles adultos es de calidad y se utiliza por lo tanto en carpintería como, por ejemplo, para la fabricación de puertas o de marcos de ventanas.
Las agujas de los "White Pine" contienen cinco veces más cantidad de Vitamina C (por peso) que los limones y proporcionan una excelente tisana. El cambium vascular es comestible. Es también una fuente de resveratrol.[5] Se ha encontrado que las orugas de Coloradia luski se alimentan solamente en los "Eastern White Pines".
Midiendo la circunferencia de un "pino blanco".
El nombre “Adirondack” es una palabra iroquesa que significa comedor de árboles y refiere a sus vecinos (más comúnmente conocidos como Algonquinos) que recogían su corteza interna durante las épocas de hambruna en invierno.[6] La corteza interna, suave y blanca (capa de cámbium) se separaba cuidadosamente de la corteza marrón dura, oscura y seca. Una vez molido este producto se puede utilizar como harina o agregar para alargar otros productos amiláceos. Linnaeus observó en 1700 que el ganado y los cerdos alimentados con corteza de pino crecían bien, aunque a él personalmente no le agradase su sabor. Los indios Ojibwe guisaban los conos masculinos jóvenes con carne, los cuales tenían fama de ser dulces y nada resinosos. Además, los piñones son dulces y nutritivos aunque no tan sabrosos como los de algunos pinos occidentales (Fernald, 1943).
La resina del pino se ha utilizado para impermeabilizar cestas, cubos y embarcaciones. La savia se puede procesar para obtener trementina, además de ser, al parecer, un bastante eficaz antimicrobiano en diferentes casos. Los Chippewa incluso la utilizaron con éxito para tratar heridas gangrenosas. La pulpa húmeda de la corteza interna se aplicaba generalmente a las heridas o la brea o pez de pino mezclado con cera de abejas o mantequilla se usaba como ungüento para prevenir infecciones. La brea de pino mezclada con cerveza se puede utilizar para erradicar solitarias (gusanos planos) o nemátodos (gusanos redondos) y, por otro lado, mezclada con azufre es útil para tratar la caspa. La brea o pez se produce quemando lentamente raíces, ramas o pequeños troncos de pino en una combustión parcialmente sofocada (Erichsen-Brown, 1979).
Simbolismo
El "Eastern White Pine" es el árbol emblema Provincial de Ontario, Canadá y el árbol emblema de los estados de Maine y Míchigan, de los Estados Unidos y su "pine cone and tassel", es decir ramita de pino con piña, como la "flor del estado" de Maine. Las ramitas del "Eastern White Pine" fueron usados como emblema identitario de Vermont durante la república de Vermont y aparecen en una vidriera de la Vermont State House, en la bandera de Vermont y en la insignia naval de la "Commonwealth of Massachusetts".

See artikkel räägib liigist; põlispuu kohta vaata artiklit Valli valge mänd
Valge mänd (Pinus strobus) on männiliste sugukonda männi perekonda kuuluv puu.
Valge mänd kasvab looduslikult Põhja-Ameerikas.
Teda on introdutseeritud Euroopasse, kus kasvab peamiselt ilupuuna.
Kirjeldus
Valge mänd kasvab 40–50, harva 60 m kõrguseks.[3] Kõigi aegade kõrgeim valge mänd oli 63 meetri kõrgune, kuid ta kaotas oma ladva 1995. aasta orkaanis Opal, mis oli selle aasta kõige võimsam orkaan Atlandi ookeanil. Tänapäeval on kõige kõrgem puu 56 meetrit kõrge. Rahvajuttude järgi olevat olnud ka 70-meetrisi puid.
Tüve läbimõõt on kuni 1,6 m, mis tähendab ümbermõõtu 3,1–5 meetrit. Sellegipoolest on tüve läbimõõt üle 1,45 m väga haruldane. 40 hektari männipuistu kohta tuleb sageli kõigest paar-kolm puud, mille tüve läbimõõt on 1,2–1,4 meetrit.
Suurte puude fotosid analüüsides on järeldatud, et ühes puus võib olla kuni 28–34 m3 puitu. Pole välistatud, et mõnes hiiglases on seda veelgi rohkem, 37–40 m3.
Juurestik on üldjuhul hästi arenenud. Sügavapõhjalistes muldades moodustub võimas peajuur koos rohkete külgjuurtega. Puu on sellistel muldadel üsna tormikindel.[3] Jaapanis on registreeritud valge männi juurestiku ulatumine liivmullas 2,8 m sügavusele.[4]
Okkad on 7–13 cm pikad, 5-kaupa kimpudes, kolmetahulised, peensaagja servaga. Puul püsivad nad 1–3 aastat, tavaliselt 18 kuud. Käbid kasvavad üksikult või 2–3 kaupa, õitsemisel punakad, hiljem rohelised, valminult hele- kuni punakaspruunid, pikkus 8–15 (20) cm, läbimõõt 2–3 (4) cm, sageli vaigused. Seemned on 5–6 mm pikad ja saleda tiivaga (15–20 mm). 1000 seemne mass on 16–18 g.[3]
Valge mänd õitseb juunis, seemned valmivad septembris ja varisevad pärast valmimist. Seemneaastad korduvad 2–3 aasta järel.[3]
Valge mänd on noores eas üsna kiire kasvuga. Aastane kõrguse juurdekasv 10–30 aasta vanuselt on sageli 1 m aastas. Viljakandvus algab varakult: üksi kasvades 15–20 aasta vanuselt, puistus 30–35 aasta vanuselt. Ta talub hästi varju, eriti viljakatel kasvukohtadel.[3]
Täiskasvanud puud jõuavad kergesti vanuseni 200–250 aastat. Vanimad puud lähenevad 500 eluaastale.
Levikuala ja ökoloogia
Valged männid Katherine Lake'i ääres.
Valge mänd kasvab Põhja-Ameerika kirde- ja idaosas, Kanada ja USA territooriumil, 0–1220 m kõrgusel üle merepinna.[5]
Valge mänd eelistab kuiva pinnast ja niisket jahedat kliimat, aga ta kasvab ka soos ja kaljustel mägismaadel. Segametsas on ta domineeriv puu, mis kasvab teistest kõrgemaks. Ta pakub toitu ja kaitset paljudele lindudele, näiteks kuuse-käbilinnule, ja pisiimetajatele, näiteks oravatele.
Kliima
Valge männi levilas valitseb jahe ja niiske kliima. Juuli keskmised õhutemperatuurid tõusevad kuni 18...27 °C, ning jaanuaris-veebruaris langevad keskmised miinimumtemperatuurid kuni –8...–18 °C. Aasta keskmine õhutemperatuur on vahemikus 5...12 °C. Aasta keskmine sademete hulk on alates 510 mm Minnesotas kuni 2030 mm Georgia kirdeosas. Lund esineb aastas keskmiselt levila lõunaosas vähem kui 15 cm ning kirdeosas üle 250 cm. Suhteline õhuniiskus on küllaltki kõrge kõikidel aastaaegadel.[5]
Valge mänd talub talvel külma, mis ei ületa –34...–40 °C.[6]
Kasvupinnas
Valge mänd kasvab väga erinevat tüüpi muldadel, alates kuivadest liivmuldadest ja kivistest mäeseljandikest kuni rabades esinevate märgade turvasmuldadeni. Muldade reaktsioon on enamasti väga happeline kuni neutraalne ning nende lähtematerjaliks on üldjuhul liustikujõesetted, moreen või murenenud kivimid. Lähtekivimiteks on tavaliselt graniit, gneiss, kildad ja liivakivi. Harvem esineb fülliiti ja lubjakivi. Parimat kasvu näitavad puud, mis kasvavad viljakatel, parasniisketel ning vett hästi läbilaskvatel liiv- või saviliivmuldadel, mille pH on vahemikus 4,0–7,5.[5]
Tunnuspuu
Valge mänd on USA Maine'i ja Michigani osariigi ning Kanada Ontario provintsi tunnuspuu. Tema käbi koos oksatutiga on Maine'i tunnuslill. Valge männi võsu oli Vermonti sümbol Vermonti vabariigi ajal, see on kujutatud Vermonti lipul ja Massachusettsi mereväelipul. Valge männi oksad on kujutatud Vermonti osariigi parlamendihoone klaasimaalinguga kaetud aknal.
Kasvatamine Eestis
Eesti suurima valge männi tüvi ja võra.
Eesti kliima ja pinnas sobivad valgele männile, kuid suur probleem on männi-koorepõletik, mida põhjustab roosteseen (Cronartium ribicola). Selle vaheperemeesteks on sõstra- ja karusmarjapõõsad. Haiguse tagajärjel tekib tüvel vaigujooks, okkad muutuvad punaseks ja kuivavad. Rohkem kannatavad puhtpuistud toitainevaestel muldadel. Kultiveeritud puudele sobivad värsked, viljakamad, sügavapõhjalised saviliiv- või liivsavimullad.[3]
Eesti metsakultuuri toodi valge mänd 19. sajandi lõpul ning ta on siin säilinud üksikute rühmade ja üksikpuudena, kasvades segus kohalike puuliikidega. Seda leidus Karula, Sagadi, Lodja, Kariste, Tubala (Hiiumaa), endises Vigala metskonnas, Järvseljal ja mujal. Valged männid jäid siin mõõtmetelt alla harilikele mändidele. Metsakultuure kahjustasid tugevalt jänesed, metskitsed ja põdrad. Praegu võib valget mändi leida Karula rahvuspargis Valgepalus (27 110-aastast puud), Antsla metskonnas (25 25–35 m kõrgust puud), Tihemetsa metsas ja Järvseljal (34–35 m kõrgused) ning Kuigatsis Pedajamäe talu maal (tüve ümbermõõt 1,5 meetri kõrgusel 3,8 meetrit). Eesti suuremaid valgeid mände (ümbermõõt samuti u 3,8 m) kasvab ka Jädivere metsapargis.[7]
Kasutamine
Valge mänd Valgamaal Kuigatsis Pedajamäe talu maal
Valge männi puit on väga väärtuslik. See on levinud ja seda on lihtne töödelda. Sellepärast olid koloniaalajal paljud majad koos põranda ja mööbliga valgest männist valmistatud. Suured plangud, milles pole ühtegi oksakohta, olid pigem reegel kui erand.
Valge mänd oli ka metsalangetajate lemmik, sest langetatud puitu ei pidanud kohe töötlema, vaid selle võis saata saeveskisse alles aasta aega või kauemgi pärast langetamist. Näiteks kirsipuu, vaher, tamm ja saar tuleb lõigata tollipaksusteks laudadeks vahetult pärast langetamist, vastasel juhul tekivad tüvesse laiad praod, mis muudavad puidu väärtusetuks.
Valgest männist värskelt lõigatud lauad on kreemikasvalged või kahvatut õlekarva, aga aastate jooksul kipub puit tumenema ja muutuma sügavpunakaspruuniks. Vahetevahel kohtab helepruuniks tõmbunud laudu kuldse või punaka varjundiga. Kõnekeeles kutsutakse sellist puitu kõrvitsamänniks. Arvatakse, et ürgmetsas, kus männid aeglaselt kasvavad, kogunevad tüvesse värvained, aga seda võivad soodustada nii geneetilised tegurid kui pinnasetingimused.
Kuigi valgest männist põrandad olid Ameerikas levinud, ei ole valge mänd kulumiskindel. Pikaajalise käimisega kulub põrandasse käimise kohalt süvend ja üldiselt kõik valgest männist põrandad on aja jooksul ebatasaseks kulunud.
Valge männi okkad sisaldavad 5 korda rohkem C-vitamiini kui sidrunid ja neist saab head taimeteed.
Valge männi säsi on söödav. Indiaanlased sõid neid nälja ajal ja need hõimud, kes ei söönud, nimetasid oma naabreid puusööjateks. Linnaeus märkis, et veised ja sead sõid seda meeleldi, aga talle enesele säsi maitse ei meeldinud. Ka seemned kõlbavad süüa, ehkki mõnel teisel männiliigil on need veelgi maitsvamad.
Männivaiku on kasutatud korvide, ämbrite ja paatide veekindlaks muutmiseks. Puumahlast aeti tärpentini ja ühtlasi oli see nii vägev antibakteriaalne aine, et indiaanlased ravisid sellega isegi gangreeni, rääkimata muudest haavadest.

Strobusmänty (Pinus strobus) on havupuu, joka kasvaa luonnonvaraisena Pohjois-Amerikan itäosissa, Newfoundlandista Appalakkien vuoriston kautta Georgian pohjoisosiin.
Strobusmännyn neulaset ovat viiden ryhmissä yhdessä samassa kääpiöoksassa. Ne ovat taipuisia, sinivihreitä, hienosti sahalaitaisia, 5–13 cm pitkiä. Neulaset säilyvät tavallisesti noin 18 kuukautta. Kävyt ovat kapeita ja 8–16 cm pitkiä, täysin avautuneena 4–5 cm leveitä. Siemenet ovat 4–5 mm pitkiä ja niissä on 15–20 mm pitkä siipi tuulilevitystä varten. Käpysadossa on huippu aina 3–5 vuoden välein. Strobusmänty saavuttaa yleisesti 200 vuoden iän (parhaimmillaan 400 vuotta).[3] Se kasvaa parhaiten viileässä ja kosteassa ilmastossa.
Strobusmänty on itäisen Pohjois-Amerikan korkeimmaksi kasvava puulaji. Sen tiedetään kasvaneen jopa 70 metrin pituiseksi. Tyypillisimmillään se kasvaa 30–50-metriseksi ja 1–1,6 metrin paksuiseksi. Puu kestää metsäpaloja melko hyvin ja paloista säilyneet puut siementävät paloalueita uudelleen. Puhtaissa strobusmänniköissä rungot ovat tavallisesti oksattomia puoleen väliin saakka, sekametsissä puut kohoavat kaikkien muiden yläpuolelle.
Strobusmäntyjä kasvatetaan laajalti metsätaloudessa niiden luonnonvaraisella esiintymisalueella. Erilaisia lajikkeita on jalostettu runsaasti koristekasvikäyttöön. Monet niistä ovat hidaskasvuisia kääpiölajikkeita.

Pin blanc, Pin de Weymouth, Pin du Lord
Le Pin blanc, Pin du Lord ou Pin de Weymouth (Pinus strobus), est un arbre de la famille des Pinaceae[1],[2].
Description
Mais de plus en plus l'érable et le sapin ont tendance à prendre sa place, par suite de la surexploitation des pins blancs, des nouvelles maladies et de la pollution d'origine humaine. Depuis le début de l'exploitation forestière du pin blanc, la taille moyenne de ce dernier a grandement diminué, passant d'une moyenne d'environ 50 mètre à 30 mètres à cause d'une maladie exotique qui n’existait pas en Amérique il y a 150 ans, la rouille vésiculeuse du pin blanc due à Cronartium ribicola[3].
Illustration de
Pinus strobus
Quand cet arbre à aiguilles pousse en nature, ses branches inférieures meurent et les supérieures prennent le dessus. Tandis qu'en naissant isolé le pin blanc garde toutes ses branches du haut jusqu'au pied ressemblant particulièrement à un gigantesque arbre de Noël. Le pin blanc de La Patrie est le plus grand pin blanc du Québec. Il est situé à une dizaine de kilomètres du Mont Mégantic et de la frontière canado-américaine. Haut d'environ 35 mètres, avec une circonférence de 518 cm en 2011. Cette essence devient rare. La plupart des grands peuplements de pin blanc s'étendent sur le bord des rivières, à cause des feux qui passaient dans le temps juste à côté des rivières.
Sa longévité est en général de 200 à 400 ans et peut dépasser les 600 ans dans de très bonnes conditions. Certains auraient atteint les 1000 ans d'après des recherches.
Ce pin recherche des sols sablonneux et humides. Il est adapté aux feux de forêt, qui favorisent sa régénération, son écorce épaisse le protégeant. Le combat contre les feux de forêt est défavorable à sa régénération, cette espèce étant grandement favorisée à la suite du feu[4]. Cet arbre majestueux pousse dans des forêts mixtes composées de feuillus et d'autres résineux. Dans son habitat d'origine, il atteint la taille de 30 à 50 mètres et un diamètre de 1 à 1,5 mètre. En Europe, sa taille atteint 25 à 30 mètres. Il pousse rapidement ; à l'âge de 20 ans, il atteint la taille de 10 mètres. Il supporte assez mal la pollution ; le gibier peut lui causer des dégâts importants. Il est sensible à une maladie dite rouille vésiculeuse, transmise par le champignon Cronartium ribicola microscopi aperçu au Canada en 1916 pour la première fois. Cette maladie, au cycle évolutif compliqué qui implique également les plantes du type Ribes, peut le décimer. Il n'aime pas la compétition surtout lorsqu'il est plus jeune. Il supporte assez mal l'ombre, préfère pousser au soleil.
Son bois est blanc ou un peu brun, léger et tendre, homogène, facile à travailler, très durable, avec un aubier peu distinct. Le bois des arbres adultes est de qualité ; de ce fait il est utilisé en menuiserie, par exemple pour la fabrication de portes ou d'encadrements de fenêtres[5].
Les bourgeons, non résineux, sont ovoïdes et très pointus avec des écailles brunes cernées de blanc.
Les rameaux sont régulièrement verticillés, faiblement pubescents, brun rouge. Ils comportent des cicatrices foliaires visibles.
L'écorce est lisse, vert grisâtre sur les jeunes arbres puis brun grisâtre et crevassée longitudinalement. Vers les trois quarts de l'arbre, plus voyant lors qu'il est mature, l'écorce est blanche, particularité de laquelle l'arbre tire son nom.
Les feuilles sont des aiguilles fines et douces, souples et d'une longueur de 5 à 14 centimètres. Elles sont groupées par 5 sur les rameaux. La face inférieure de l'aiguille possède deux bandes de stomates argentés[5]. Les aiguilles, persistantes, ont une vie de deux à cinq ans.
Le fruit, est un cône qui mesure de 10 à 20 centimètres. Les écailles sont brunes et arquées vers le bas, elles sont peu serrées. Elles sont claires par rapport au centre et sont recouvertes de résine. Les semences d'environ 5 mm sont munies d'une longue aile[5]. Les cônes pendent. Les graines sont mûres en septembre de l'année suivant la fécondation. Les premiers fruits apparaissent quand l'arbre atteint environ l'âge de trente ans[5]. Les cônes d'un Pin blanc sont plats et longs lorsqu'il est jeune. Devenu adulte ses cônes sont longs et ouverts tout en étant écaillés.
Le pin blanc accepte des sols variés, mais, calcifuge, il préfère les sols siliceux légers et frais, même s’il accepte aussi les sols biens drainés. Le pin blanc n'est pas trop difficile envers les types de sol, il les accepte pratiquement tous.
Habitat
Pinus strobus' dans le parc Awenda
On le trouve dans l'est de l'Amérique du Nord depuis la Géorgie aux États-Unis, Ontario, Québec, les Maritimes et jusqu'à l'île de Terre-Neuve au Canada[5]. On le rencontre très fréquemment au Nouveau-Brunswick. L'arbre, qui supporte bien le froid, fut introduit en Europe en 1705 et en France vers 1850 dans le nord et le Morvan. On le plante aussi bien dans les forêts en reboisement que dans les parcs, à titre ornemental.
Historique
Les Iroquois utilisèrent le pin blanc pour en faire des canots géants pouvant transporter environ 40 personnes. Car à l'époque les pins blancs étaient beaucoup plus gros et surtout vraiment plus hauts.
D'après ce qu'a écrit Marie-Victorin, les bûcherons auraient coupé des Pins blancs ayant une hauteur incroyable de 90 mètres avec un diamètre de 250 centimètres. Il aurait été capable de devenir l'un des arbres les plus hauts au monde.
Le pin blanc est apparu sur le continent d'Amérique du Nord il y a quelques dizaines de millions d'années. Jusque dans les années 1600, on trouvait des millions d'hectares de forêt mature de Pins blancs imposants.
Les peuples autochtones utilisaient son écorce pour le recouvrement extérieur des maisons longues et sa résine mélangée à de la cendre servait d'adhésif.
Les colons ont spéculé dès la première découverte que le pin blanc, grand et rectiligne, formerait un matériau idéal pour la construction navale, en particulier utilisé comme mât pour les grands navires. George Weymouth, mena son navire Archangel dans le port de Pentecost (Maine), près de la rivière Saint-George, en 1605, et il fit rapport d'arbres de hauteur remarquable, qui pourraient faire des mâts pour des navires de quatre cents tonnes. Il rapporta en Angleterre des échantillons du pin qui porte en Grande-Bretagne son nom. Quatre ans après, la colonie de Jamestown envoya des pin de mâture vers l'Angleterre et 1640, la production de mât devint la première industrie majeure de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, s'exportant vers les ports de construction navale des Caraïbes, d'Angleterre et jusqu'à Madagascar. La coupe accélérée des pins fit s'inquiéter le parlement britannique, qui en 1691 révisa la Massachusetts bay charter incluant une clause de préservation des mâts. Le marquage des arbres en forme de Broad arrow par les arpenteurs du roi qui devint la norme était impopulaire dans les colonies et sera l'une des causes de la révolution américaine (Pine Tree Riot)[6].
Il est exploité début jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle, dans le commerce du bois carré à destination de l'Angleterre. Plus tard comme bois de sciage vers les États-Unis.
À partir de 1850, leur exploitation intensive et inconsidérée achève de décimer les forêts; il n'existe plus de Pins blancs dépassant 65 mètres. Au Québec, les derniers peuplements de pins blancs se trouvent dans la région de l'Outaouais.
Certains jugent que les méthodes modernes de coupe peu intensives nuisent à l'établissement du pin blanc, une espèce de tolérance intermédiaire à l'ombre. En effet, les coupes de jardinage conservent un couvert permanent qui favorise les espèces tolérantes à l'ombre comme l'érable à sucre et le hêtre à grandes feuilles.
Symbole
Chez les Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) cet arbre est connu comme étant l'« Arbre de la Paix » à cause de ses gigantesques dimensions et c'est pour eux un symbole important de la Grande Loi de la Paix pour ce peuple d'Amérique du Nord[7].
Le drapeau et les armoiries de la Ville de Montréal intègrent depuis 2017 le pin blanc, un symbole de la présence autochtone sur le territoire montréalais[8].

Američki borovac (borovac, vajmutov bor, lat. Pinus strobus) je stablo iz porodice borova (lat. Pinaceae).
To je četinjača koja se javlja u prirodi u Sjevernoj Americi. Danas se uzgaja u Srednjoj i Zapadnoj Europi, gdje može dosegnuti visinu od 30 do 40 m. Na istoku SAD-a dostiže visine od 55 metara. U Hrvatskoj se može naći u šumskim kulturama, parkovima i botaničkim vrtovima. Drugo ime je Weymouthov bor ili vajmutovac po istraživaču Georgeu Weymouthu.
Botanički opis
Stabla američkoga borovca
Kora je glatka i zelenkasto smeđa. Kasnije, kora postaje sivkasta do crna s malo ljubičaste. Grančice su tanke i svijetlo zelene. Starije grane su zelenkasto smeđe i dlakave.
Pupovi su ovalni i narančasto-smeđi. Ima vitke, plavkasto-zelene iglice od 8-12 cm. Rastu u nakupinama od pet u neposrednoj blizini, te su usmjerene prema vrhu.
Češeri su smeđi, u obliku banane i 10-15 cm dugi. Mladi češeri su zeleniji i ravniji nego kod stariji.
Drvo je blijedo smeđe i svjetlo. Dobro je za izradu vrata i prozora, ali i za opće namjene, kao što su izrada sanduka i namještaja.

Il pino strobo, detto anche pino bianco americano o pino di Weymouth, è una grande conifera nativa del Nord-America orientale.
Morfologia
È un albero di grandi dimensioni, il più alto del nord-America ad est delle Montagne Rocciose. Raggiunge spesso i 40-45 metri ed in casi eccezionali supera i 50 metri. Il Boogerman Pine, nel Parco nazionale di Great Smoky Mountains, era alto 63 metri prima di perdere la cima durante un uragano in ottobre del 1995. Attualmente è alto 57,54 metri.
Come in tutti i pini del sottogenere strobus, gli aghi del pino strobo crescono in mazzetti di 5 (raramente 3 o 4), con una guaina decidua. Sono flessibili, strettamente serrati e di colore blu-verde, con lunghezza di 5–13 cm.
Le pigne sono lunghe 8–16 cm e larghe 4–5 cm quando sono aperte, con apice arrotondato e la parte terminale leggermente incurvata. I semi sono lunghi 4–5 mm e sono dotati di un'aletta di 15–20 mm che permette la loro migliore dispersione col vento.
Possono vivere facilmente fino a 200-250 anni e in alcuni casi superare i 400. L'età di un esemplare nei pressi di Syracuse nello Stato di New York è stata misurata negli anni ottanta ed è risultata essere di 458 anni.
Ha un potere calorifico molto alto
Distribuzione e habitat
Originariamente gran parte del Nord America nord-orientale era coperto da foreste di pino strobo, ma in seguito a disboscamenti intensivi nel '700 e '800 solo una minima parte degli alberi originali è rimasta. Attualmente il pino strobo è presente a nord dalla penisola di Terranova fino al Minnesota, spingendosi a sud lungo la catena degli Appalachi fino alla parte settentrionale della Georgia.
L'esploratore inglese George Weymouth, cui deve il nome con cui è noto in Gran Bretagna, tentò di trapiantarli in Inghilterra nel 1620, ma non sopravvissero a lungo perché attaccati dal fungo Cronartium ribicola (white pine blister rust in inglese). È stato poi introdotto in Europa come albero ornamentale verso la metà del 1800 e ormai cresce spontaneamente in alcune zone dell'Europa, come la Polonia, la Repubblica Ceca, ma anche nell'Italia Settentrionale.
Il pino strobo preferisce terreni ben drenati e climi freschi e umidi, ma cresce a volte anche in aree acquitrinose e in altopiani rocciosi.
Usi
In passato il legno del pino strobo era molto ricercato per costruire l'alberatura delle navi a vela. Grandi quantità di legname furono vendute alla Royal Navy per tale uso. Nell'epoca coloniale degli Stati Uniti era molto usato per l'edilizia, l'arredamento e la pavimentazione di case. In seguito fu gradualmente sostituito da specie più pregiate. Tuttavia il pino strobo è ancora molto coltivato in silvicoltura in diverse aree degli Stati Uniti.
Gli aghi di questa specie hanno un contenuto di vitamina C cinque volte superiore, in peso, ai limoni. Vengono quindi usati per preparare tisane.
La resina è usata per l'impermeabilizzazione di natanti ed è impiegata anche dall'industria chimica per la produzione di trementina.

De weymouthden (Pinus strobus) is een boom uit de dennenfamilie (Pinaceae). Het is een conifeer die van nature voorkomt in Noord-Amerika. Tegenwoordig wordt de boom voor het hout gekweekt in Midden- en West-Europa, alwaar ze een hoogte kan bereiken tot 30 à 40 m. In het oosten van de Verenigde Staten bereikt de boom een hoogte van 55 meter en is het de hoogste boomsoort die daar van nature voorkomt. De boom is genoemd naar de ontdekkingsreiziger George Weymouth.
Botanische beschrijving
De kroon is smal kegelvormig. Met het ouder worden wordt de kroon onregelmatiger en vlakker. De boomschors is glad en groenachtig bruin. Later wordt de schors grijsachtig tot zwart met een beetje paarse gloed. Tevens komen er dan groeven in de schors te zitten. De twijgen zijn slank en heldergroen. Later worden de takken groenachtig bruin en behaard.
De knoppen zijn eivormig, spits en oranjebruin. De weymouthden heeft slanke, blauwachtig groene naalden van 8-12 cm lang. Ze groeien in bosjes van vijf dicht opeen en zijn naar de top toe gericht.
De kegels zijn bruin, banaanvormig en 10-15 cm lang. De kegelschubben zijn naar buiten gekromd. Jonge kegels zijn groener en rechter dan oudere kegels.
Ziekten
De boom kan aangetast worden door de zwartebessenroest.
Toepassingen
Het bleekbruine, lichte hout van de weymouthden leent zich prima voor het gebruik voor deuren en kozijnen, maar ook voor algemene doeleinden, zoals kisten en meubels.

由wikipedia POL提供
Multimedia w Wikimedia Commons Sosna wejmutka zwana też sosną amerykańską (Pinus strobus L.) – gatunek drzewa iglastego z rodziny sosnowatych (Pinaceae). Sosna wejmutka występuje na północnych i wschodnich obszarach Ameryki Północnej (Kanada, USA). W Polsce uprawiana, spotykana w lasach i parkach.
Polska nazwa gatunkowa tej sosny wywodzi się od nazwiska lorda Weymoutha.
Rozmieszczenie geograficzne
Naturalny zasięg sosny wejmutki rozciąga się wzdłuż południowej Kanady, od Nowej Fundlandii, wyspy Anticosti i półwyspu Gaspé, na zachód do środkowego i zachodniego Ontario i południowo-wschodniej Manitoby. Dalej na południe do południowo-wschodniej Minnesoty i północno-wschodniego Iowa, na wschód do północnego Illinois, Ohio, Pensylwanii i New Jersey oraz na południe przez Appalachy do północnej Georgii i północno-zachodniej Karoliny Południowej. Stanowiska sosny wejmutki można także znaleźć w zachodnim Kentucky, zachodnim Tennessee i Delaware[3].
Populacje raportowane z Gwatemali i Meksyku należą do wyróżnianej przez niektórych botaników odmiany P. strobus var. chiapensis, która traktowana jest coraz częściej jako odrębny gatunek.
Morfologia
- Pokrój
- Drzewo iglaste, pokrój raczej smukły, początkowo stożkowaty, później spłaszczony, bardziej nieregularny. Korona luźna, gałęzie w regularnych okółkach, odchodzą od pnia prawie pod kątem prostym.
- Pień
- Osiąga wysokość 30–67[4] m, w środkowej Europie dorasta do 44 m, oraz średnicę 100–180 cm. Kora spękana, ciemnoszara, z wiekiem grubieje i ciemnieje.
- Liście
- Igły zebrane po 5 na krótkopędzie, niebieskozielone, długości 6–10 cm, szerokości 0,7–1 mm, giętkie i cienkie, z opadającą pochewką liściową.
- Szyszki
- Szyszki męskie walcowate, żółte, długości 10–15 mm (8–10 mm)[3], wyrastają w grupach u nasady młodych pędów, najczęściej na starszych, dolnych gałęziach. Szyszki żeńskie wyrastają na szczytach pędów, w górnej części korony, są sztywne i zaokrąglone. W czasie zapylenia zielone, o długości 5–38 mm. Dojrzałe szyszki żeńskie są brązowe, cylindryczne i zwisające, długości (7)8–20 cm. Łuski giętkie z kolistymi wypustkami na końcach, zwykle pokryte żywicą. Nasiona długości 5–6 mm, opatrzone skrzydełkiem długości 1,8–2,5 cm.
Biologia i ekologia
Drewno lekkie, kremowożółte, miękkie.
Drzewo jednopienne. Kwitnie od maja do czerwca. Szyszki męskie wykształcają się od jednego do kilku tygodni wcześniej niż żeńskie na tym samym drzewie. Drzewa produkują szyszki żeńskie po osiągnięciu 5–10 lat, ale dobrze obradzają dopiero w wieku 20–30 lat. We wczesnych latach kwitnienia, drzewa nie wykształcają wcale lub niewielką liczbę szyszek męskich. Zjawisko to może się utrzymywać także u starszych okazów, o średnicy pnia 30–61 cm, aczkolwiek ich produkcja pyłku jest większa niż młodych drzew (od małej do średniej ilości). Do zapłodnienia dochodzi ok. 13 miesięcy po zapyleniu, a nasiona dojrzewają w ciągu sierpnia i września drugiego roku. Szyszki uwalniają nasiona i opadają wkrótce potem. Do rozsiania większości nasion dochodzi w ciągu miesiąca od osiągnięcia dojrzałości. Rozsiewają się w odległości 60 m w zwartych drzewostanach i ponad 210 m na stanowiskach otwartych[3]. Igły pozostają na drzewie przez 2–3 lata[5].
Drzewa osiągają wiek zazwyczaj 200 lat, wyjątkowo 450. Początkowo rosną wolno (ok. 135 cm wysokości w wieku 8–10 lat), między 10 a 15 rokiem życia przyrastają szybko (średnio 1 m rocznie). Tempo wzrostu zależy także od warunków siedliskowych, jednak dla wszystkich stanowisk wyrównuje się w wieku ok. 55 lat, kiedy roczny przyrost jest na poziomie 0,3 m na rok.
Najgrubszy w Polsce okaz wejmutki (na terenie Lasów Państwowych) rośnie w miejscowości Pokój i ma 521 cm obwodu i 33 m wysokości[6].
Liczba chromosomów: 2n=24.
Preferuje płaskie doliny w obszarach górskich, można ją znaleźć na wysokości do 1500 m n.p.m. Najchętniej rośnie na glebach wapiennych. Wraz z innymi drzewami iglastymi i liściastymi tworzy lasy mieszane. W lasach, w których jest gatunkiem dominującym towarzyszą jej: sosna czerwona, dąb czerwony i klon czerwony, choina, Quercus prinus. Wykazuje średnią tolerancję na zacienienie. Jako siewki, ze względu na powolny wzrost w pierwszych latach życia, sosny wejmutki są bardzo wrażliwe na konkurencję ze strony szybciej rosnących gatunków. Jeśli przeżyją ten okres ich zdolność przetrwania zwiększa się. Sosna ta rzadko tworzy trwałe jednogatunkowe stanowiska. Nie sprzyja temu wewnętrzna różnorodność w ukształtowaniu korony, różne tempo wzrostu w poszczególnych okresach życia czy na danym podłożu.
Nasiona są pożywieniem dla m.in. wiewiórki szarej (Sciurus carolinensis), która przyczynia się także do rozsiewania nasion, gromadząc je w podziemnych schowkach.
Systematyka i zmienność
Pozycja gatunku w obrębie rodzaju Pinus[5]:
Wcześniej traktowano Pinus chiapensis jako odmianę sosny wejmutki (P. strobus var. chiapensis Martínez), klasyfikowaną obecnie najczęściej w randze gatunku[4]
Sosna wejmutka łatwo krzyżuje się z sosną zachodnią (Pinus monticola), s. rumelijską (P. peuce), s. himalajską (P. wallichiana) i s. drobnokwiatową (P. parviflora). Można ją także skrzyżować z sosną giętką (P. flexilis) i P. ayacahuite. Mieszaniec z sosną himalajską jest bardziej żywotny niż sosna wejmutka i lepiej znosi zimy niż sosna himalajska.

Zagrożenia
Międzynarodowa organizacja IUCN przyznała temu gatunkowi kategorię zagrożenia LC (least concern), czyli jest gatunkiem najmniejszej troski, spośród gatunków niższego ryzyka[2].
Zastosowanie
- Drzewo ozdobne
Uprawiana powszechnie w Europie w lasach i parkach.
- Surowiec drzewny
- Ponieważ drewno jest łatwe w obróbce i niepaczące się, wytwarzane są z niego różnego rodzaju opakowania (np. skrzynki transportowe).
- W XVII i XVIII w. sosna wejmutka na wschodnich stanowiskach była masowo wycinana, z przeznaczeniem na cele marynarki wojennej Wielkiej Brytanii (Royal Navy). Przez XVIII i XIX w. wycinkę prowadzono także na cele budowlane i meblarskie, posuwając się coraz dalej na zachód. Pozostałością po tamtych czasach są historyczne budynki z drewna sosnowego, które można znaleźć od Maine do Minnesoty.
- Gatunek sprowadzony niegdyś do Europy na użytek przemysłu papierniczego.
Szkodniki i choroby
Objawy rdzy wejmutkowo-porzeczkowej
Znanych jest 277 szkodników i 110 organizmów wywołujących choroby sosny wejmutki. Z tego tylko 16 owadów i 7 chorób stanowi na tyle istotne zagrożenie dla życia drzew, że może powodować ich obumieranie. Najgroźniejsze z nich to chrząszcz Pissodes strobi, rdza wejmutkowo-porzeczkowa i opieńka miodowa (Armillaria mellea).
-
Pissodes strobi – chrząszcz, niszczy młode pędy, do 2–3-letnich.
-
Conophthorus coniperda – chrząszcz z rodziny ryjkowcowatych, żeruje na szyszkach i może doprowadzić do znacznego ograniczenia plonu nasion na zaatakowanych drzewach. W południowo-zachodnich lasach Maine zaobserwowano przerwy między płodnymi latami trwające 7–10 lat[3].
-
Cinara strobi – mszyca, powoduje uszkodzenia pędów i gałęzi dużych drzew, może doprowadzić do obumarcia małych okazów.
-
Neodiprion pinetum – larwy tego owada żerują na młodych i starych igłach.
-
Borecznik rudy (Neodiprion sertifer) – owad zasiedla przeważnie młode drzewka (także innych sosen) składając jaja przy brzegach igieł. Larwy wylęgają się na wiosnę i przez maj i czerwiec zjadają stare igły, pozostawiając młode pędy. Wpływa to hamująco na przyrost drzew.
-
rdza wejmutkowo-porzeczkowa – choroba wywoływana przez grzyb Cronartium ribicola. Objawem porażenia są żółtopomarańczowe, pęcherzykowate skupienia zarodników na pędach. Choroba groźna jest przede wszystkim dla młodych drzewek.
-
Czyreń sosnowy (Phellinus pini) – grzyb, patogen roślin, najczęściej atakujący uszkodzone drzewa.
-
Skórnik krwawiący (Stereum sanguinolentum) – grzyb, patogen roślin, atakuje drzewa dostając się przez uszkodzenia.
-
Opieńka miodowa (Armillaria mellea) – grzyb, wywołuje opieńkową zgniliznę korzeni, porażone części pnia ulegają zgniliźnie białej.
Obecność w kulturze i symbolice
Sosna wejmutka jest jednym z symboli kanadyjskiej prowincji Ontario. Jest także drzewem stanowym dwóch stanów USA: Maine i Michigan[7].

Поширення
Широко поширена на північному сході США (всі штати на схід від Міннесоти, Айови, Іллінойсу, Кентуккі, Теннессі і Джорджії) і південно-східних провінціях Канади (Ньюфаундленд, Нова Шотландія, Нью-Брансвік, Острів Принца Едварда, Квебек, Онтаріо і Манітоба), а також на французьких островах Сен-П'єр і Мікелон. Відомі варіації у Мексиці і Гватемалі.
Екологічна приуроченість
Дерево швидко росте й невибагливе до ґрунтів.
На півночі ареалу росте на рівні моря, на півдні піднімається на висоту до 1500 м над рівнем моря. Віддає перевагу добре дренованим супіщаним ґрунтам і прохолодному, вологому клімату, хоча трапляється й на верхових болотах та на скелястих узгір'ях.
В Україні є значні насадження сосни Веймута, вона добре акліматизувалась і дає високопродуктивні насадження. Вона швидкоросла, морозостіка, більш тіневитривала, аніж сосна звичайна, не дуже вибаглива до родючості ґрунту (як і сосна звичайна).
Уражується іржастими грибами Peridermium strobi (проміжний хазяїн — чорна смородина)[4].
Використання
З деревини виготовляють олівці, сірники, фанеру. Дерево використовують для озеленення міст.

Eastern white pine ストローブマツの分布図
ストローブマツ(学名: Pinus strobus)はマツ科マツ属の樹木である。木材利用等で有用な樹種との評価を受けており、丸太や製材品の形での取引も多い。
材が白い(white)マツ(pine)であるから、原産地では「ホワイトパイン(White Pine)」「イースタンホワイトパイン(Eastern White pine)」と呼ばれる。Eastern はアメリカ合衆国の東部に分布していることを指し、同西部に分布する Pinus monticola と区別するためである。他にも「ノーザンホワイトパイン(Northern White Pine)」、「ソフトパイン(Soft Pine)」などとも呼ばれている。イギリスでは「ウェーマスパイン(Weymouth pine)」の愛称も知られている。アメリカの先住民族インディアンの部族うち、本種の分布地域を拠点とするイロコイ連邦では本種は平和の樹としてあがめられている。
「ホワイトパイン」の愛称を持つ樹はマツ属の中でもさらにストローブ亜属に分類される。いわゆる五葉松の一つであり、針葉は一般に5枚が束生しており、落葉性の鞘に包まれている。葉は柔らかく、青みがかった緑色をしており、長さは5cmから13cmである。葉の寿命は約18カ月で、寿命が来ると鞘とともに落下する。
松かさは赤茶色で細長く、長さが8〜16cm、幅が4〜5cm程度である。日本の一般的なマツ同様に鱗片を持ち、個々の鱗片は先端が微妙に反る。種は長さ5mm程度、15〜20mmほどの細長い翼を持っており、風によって散布される。松かさの成熟には3年から5年を要する。
成木になるには200年から250年かかる。一部の個体では400年以上生きているものも発見されている。ニューヨーク州シラキュースにあった個体は1980年時点で458年生であった。ウィスコンシン州やミシガン州の個体は500年生に達している。
本種は火災に対してはすこし耐性がある。成木が火災で生き残れば、既存の植生が壊滅状態になったところに種子を散らして、効率よく成長・繁殖が出来るためであると考えられている。火災で燃えてしまうために野生状態では幹の下半分には枝が付いていないことが多い。ゾウムシによる食害や菌類による病害は成木にも被害を与える。とくに菌類の感染によって発症する五葉松類発疹さび病は、1900年代からアメリカで大流行し本種を含む五葉松類に壊滅的な被害をもたらした世界三大樹木病の1つである。
五葉マツ類発疹さび病は北アメリカの五葉松(英:white pine)の間で大流行した菌類による樹木の病気である。原因はサビキン(金属の錆のようなので、英語でも"rust"という)。菌の胞子堆が樹皮に出現し発疹(英:blister)のように見えることから、White Pine Blister Rust と呼ばれている。本種においても流行し、多大な被害を出した。発疹さび病による大量死は20世紀の初めには50%~80%に達した。北米で流行したこの病気の菌類はそのライフサイクルの中で2つの宿主を交代で過ごさなくてはならないことが知られている。一つはマツでもう一つはスグリ属(Ribes)の植物であり、そのどちらが欠けても駄目である。だから、森林管理者たちは「もし片方の宿主植物を完全に取り除いたら、病気はなくなるかもしれない」と考えた。この考えに基づいて決定した活動が始まった。商業用のマツを育てている土地の所有者たちはスグリ属の植物を見つけたそばから引き抜き、処分した。この目論見は成功し、被害は減少した。抵抗性品種の開発なども相まって、発疹さび病による枯死は3%にまで低下している。今日ではアメリカにおいて野生のスグリ属の植物は以前と比べてかなり少なくなった。いくつかの野生のスグリ属の植物の栽培は厳しく制限されるばかりでなく、違法となることさえもある。一方でスグリ属の中でも商業用の品種(ある種のスグリの実は食用で、ジャムの製造などで有用である)はさび病に対して高い耐性を持つように作り出されている。

分布・生息域[編集]
原産地は北アメリカ東部、具体的には東はニューファンドランド島から西はアメリカのミネソタ州やカナダのマニトバ州南東部まで、南端はアパラチア山脈でこれに沿ってジョージア州北部までの範囲に分布している。日本では北海道を中心に植林されている。
本種は水はけのよい土と冷涼かつ多湿な環境を好むが、沼地のような水はけの悪いところや逆に岩場のような乾燥したところでも生育する。他の種と混生するような場所では高い樹高を持つ本種は他の種に対して優先種となり、イスカのような森の鳥たちやリスのような哺乳動物に食べ物と隠れ家を提供する。

人間との関わり[編集]
帆船が船の主役だった時代には、本種を含めホワイトパインは帆を張るマストに最適であった。アメリカがイギリスの植民地だったころなどには、良い立木はイギリス海軍が予約しており、その木にはイギリス所有の印(いわゆるブロードアロー)が付けられていたほどである。
小さめの個体は生きたクリスマスツリーとして使われる。
本種の葉はレモンと比べて約5倍のビタミンCを含み、また毒性もなく食用にできる。このためにハーブティーなどとして飲まれることがある。ポリフェノールの一種であるレスベラトロールを生成するときの原料にもなる。

스트로브잣나무(white pine, 문화어: 스트로브스소나무)는 소나무속의 늘푸른 바늘잎나무이다. 학명은 Pinus strobus이며 북아메리카 원산이다.
생태
키는 15~30m 정도이고, 줄기가 곧고 가지가 사방 고르게 나 보기에 좋아 관상수로 많이 심는다. 미국에서는 키가 80m에 줄기 지름이 4m나 될 정도로 크게 자란다. 나무껍질은 어릴 때 녹회색으로 밋밋하지만, 오래 되면 깊이 갈라지기도 한다. 잎은 길이 10~15cm로 잣나무에 비해 가늘고 부드러우며 5개씩 한 묶음으로 난다. 암수한그루로 4월에 꽃이 핀다. 암꽃은 연자주색, 타원 모양으로 어린 가지 끝에 달리고, 수꽃은 연노란색, 달걀 모양으로 어린 가지 밑 부분에 모여 달린다. 열매는 이듬해 9월에 8~10cm 길이의 원통 모양의 솔방울이 달린다. 여물면 벌어져서 씨앗은 떨어지고 빈 열매가 겨울까지 붙어 있다.
품종으로 수형이 둥글고 성장이 느린 P. strobus 'Compacta'와 가지가 밑으로 길게 처지는 P. strobus 'Pendula'가 있다.
쓰임새
목재는 흰빛을 띠는데 재목이 아름답고 재질이 좋아서 건축 자재, 가구, 조각 작품, 종이를 만드는 데 쓴다.
