The great Eastern White Pine tree has a rich and storied history. When Europeans settled New England in the early 17th century, the tree became highly sought after for its tall and straight trunks, which were ideal for creating strong ship masts. As a result, the industry of “masting” became one of the first in America, and the very best of these trees were branded with “The King’s Mark” – three hatchet marks forming a broad arrow shape, denoting the tree as property of the British Crown.
