The White Pine tree is a is a large pine native to eastern North America. It inhabits the Great Lakes region to the south along the Mississippi Basin and Appalachian Mountains to northernmost Georgia and Mississippi. It is also the state tree of Michigan (go us!). These trees are known to grow up to 180 feet tall and higher. The diameter of the trees is usually 3 feet to 10 feet wide.
The leaves (needles), are very slender and long, reaching up to 5-13 cm in length. These needles are flexible and can be even used to make tea.
In this picture, we see the chloroplast (dark circular objects) and the watery medium stroma surrounding the chloroplasts. Interesting enough, we even see the stomata which is the object that looks like it is opening to the bottom right of the picture. Lastly, we see the tubes that allow the energy to get to the chloroplast and we can see these tubes at the bottom of the picture. The White Pine is hydrophilic plant.
