Pinus strobus, commonly called the eastern white pine, northern white pine, white pine, Weymouth pine (British), and soft pine is a large pine native to eastern North America. It occurs from Newfoundland, Canada, west through the Great Lakes region to southeastern Manitoba and Minnesota, United States, and south along the Appalachian Mountains and upper Piedmont to northernmost Georgia and, very rarely, in some of the higher elevations in northeastern Alabama. It is listed as rare or vulnerable (S3) in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky., and as imperiled in Manitoba.
