State Trees Series: Maine, Eastern White Pine
The state tree of Maine is the eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), designated in 1945. This tall, majestic evergreen can grow over 150 feet high and was historically valued for ship masts and lumber. The eastern white pine played a key role in Maine's timber industry and remains an important natural resource. Its soft, lightweight wood is still used in construction and furniture making. The tree symbolizes strength, resilience, and Maine's rich forestry heritage. The State Trees collection is a unique way to show your state pride!
