Welcome to the State Tree of Michigan! White pine (Pinus strobus) is moderately shade tolerant and will grow in a variety of sites, though it prefers moist, sandy loam soils. The entire tree is rich in vitamins A and C and can provide emergency food. Squirrels. chipmunks, birds and mice feed on the seeds and needles and some mammals eat the bark of White Pine trees.
