Barry,
Good looking white pines. A pine with a single trunk and not
many lower limbs doesn't have to be too tall or large to be
impressive. Impressiveness goes with the species. Unfortunately the
white pine weevil destroys the form of many otherwise handsome trees.
Whole stands are ruined by that infernal pest.
