White Pine

Yes, Eastern white pine. Another easy ID is the needles come 5 in a bunch.

White pine is one of our most abundant pine species in the eastern deciduous forest, although it's actually somewhat of a disjunct species; that is, it's more native to the boreal forests up north in Canada and Maine. The key I.D. tip for this tree is to look at the layering patterns of the branches--White Pine grows in a radial manner, with a new layer of branches per year. So, you can tell how old it is just by counting the layers, instead of cutting it down to count the rings!
