White Pine

I planted three small white pines--two side-by-side in the front, the other near the yard's back corner--early in 1992, hoping they'd eventually grow to reasonable size. (Small, indeed--I carried them home in my Chevy Nova. Took three trips.) They've grown to be fairly substantial trees, and I'm satisfied.

The trees sat in the wind tunnel for a week or so before I found time to plant them. A pair of wrens figured they were fair game, and started to build a nest in one of the trees. They got quite upset when I moved their home into the yard....
