The Official Maine State Flower

Pinus strobus cones

The Pinus strobus cones, otherwise known as the Eastern White Pine, are the official state flower of Maine. It was adopted as the state flower in 1895, after a campaign by school children across the state. The Eastern White Pine is known for its beautiful cones, which can grow to be up to 12 inches in length and have five needles each. The cones make the Eastern White Pine a popular choice for landscaping and Christmas decorations. The tree can also reach great heights, sometimes up to 150 feet tall, and its needles can remain on the tree for up to four years. The Eastern White Pine is a symbol of the Maine landscape, and it serves as a reminder of Maine's natural beauty.
