Pinus strobus is naturally found in eastern North America growing in deep moist well-drained soils in an open sunny position and is drought tender but frost resistant.

The Eastern White Pine is grown for its habit and is planted in large gardens or forests. Under cultivation it grows smaller and can be used in medium size gardens for screening along borders. It establishes in 3 to 5 years and is suitable for mountain regions. The soft light wood is used for milling products and construction. It tolerates cold conditions but may suffer from windburn during dry periods. ID 1588

Note:
It is valued for its light useable timber and has been planted widely in Europe and England, where many older trees have died after contracting blister-rust.
