A Remarkable white pine
| Tree
Information |

| Common Name: white pine | |
| Scientific
name: Pinus strobus

Category:
Champion (big) tree
Notes: This and a nearby white pine were found while trying to locate a state champion eastern hemlock. Although the hemlock died from the hemlock wooley adelgid, these two trees are thriving. They are the tallest (approaching 170 ft.) trees on record for Virginia. This is not surprising when you consider they are growing in a narrow gorge called Ramseys Draft. |
