Weymouth pine A beautiful elegant tree to plant in many situations, Pinus strobus (also known as Eastern white Pine) is a medium growing tree with beautiful delicate blue foliage, and smooth grey young bark on a vertical trunk. On older trees the bark is deeply fissured. A conifer synonymous with the North East of America, one of the main lumber trees of the 19th centaury in that part of the USA. The name Weymouth comes from Lord Weymouth who planted this tree throughout the UK in the 18th century. Yields attractive long thin resinous cones eventually.
