Growing Preferences
Though drought tolerant when established, the Vercurve Eastern White Pine grows best in a moist but well-drained average to fertile soil in full sun but will tolerate some light afternoon shade. As with so many other ornamental trees, a constantly soggy soil can cause problems with the roots.
