West of the flagpole are two Eastern White Pines with two red oaks. This species was eastern
North America's
most important forest tree, and is the State Tree of Maine and Michigan.
Its towering height, abundance, valuable wood, and graceful beauty made it
stand out. The wood was used from mighty ship masts to lowly matches. The
name white pine contrasts it with black and red pines, which have darker
foliage and heavier, pitchier wood, and whose needles are borne in clusters
of 2 or 3 instead of fives like white pines. The cones are usually 4-8
inches long, banana like.
