| Design Ideas | This is one of the most valuable trees for shelterbelts and windbreaks on Midwestern plains because of its rugged nature and speedy growth. Adapts well to dry conditions in the West, both in semidesert and mountain foothill regions where soils are thin and poor. Tall, narrow form makes it valuable for landscaping around tall buildings in the northern states. Useful as sound barriers. A huge tree that requires sizable landscapes to remain in scale. |

It is native to most of Eastern North America and is often the dominant coniferous species. Its genus and species were conferred by Linnaeus in the 18th century. In modern times botanist. John Kunkel Small 1869-1938 of the NY Botanical Garden attempted to reclassify this tree into its own genus as Strobus strobus. Due to ease of transplantation and superior foliage density, this tree has been in cultivation and common in landscapes and urban plantings dating back to the mid 16th century. |
