Notes
'Sea Urchin' eastern white pine (Pinus strobus 'Sea Urchin') is a tree for specimen use, winter interest, and privacy screen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It grows at a rapid rate into a conical evergreen shape, and birds visit it.
