Discovered near Stowe Mountain in Vermont by Greg Williams of Kate Brook Nursery, 'Stowe Pillar' is a remarkably narrow and columnar form of our North American native Eastern White Pine. At 25 feet tall and only 5 to 6 feet wide when all grown up, it puts an exclamation point on a landscape that will not go unnoticed. Its towering, sturdy structure has dense, upward-reaching branches clothed in soft-textured clusters of long blue-green needles. Creamy-white candles (new growth) in spring contrast beautifully with the dark blue-green mature foliage. Excellent as a specimen, grouping, or in privacy screen plantings where space is limited. It is also lovely as an accent tree or to frame corners or entrances in home foundation plantings. 

The Stowe Pillar Eastern White Pine is easy to grow in moist, well-drained, acidic soil with average fertility and full sun to partial shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. In USDA Zone 8 of the South, we suggest some filtered sun or shade during the afternoon hours when the sun is most intense. It prefers an acid soil ranging from 4.5 to 6.0 on the pH scale. Alkaline soils above 7.0 pH will result in yellowing foliage and poor health. Apply chelated iron or soil sulfur to acidify the soil. As with so many other ornamental trees, constantly soggy soil or wet can cause problems with the roots.
