Pinus strobus
Pinaceae
Eastern White Pine is the tallest native conifer in eastern North America, historically growing over 200 feet. It is highly susceptible to wind damage due to its height and shallow root system, and is vulnerable to ice damage. White Pine is also affected by white pine blister rust and white pine weevil.
Acer saccharum
Sapindaceae
Sugar Maple is a prized hardwood known for maple syrup production and spectacular fall foliage. It is a dominant canopy tree in northeastern forests but is highly susceptible to ice storm damage due to its dense branching pattern. Climate change-related drought is increasingly stressing populations at the southern edge of its range.
