Western white pine is a large tree, regularly growing to 30–50 metres (98–164 ft) tall. It is a member of the white pine group, Pinus subgenus Strobus, and like all members of that group, the leaves ('needles') are in fascicles (bundles) of five, [5] with a deciduous sheath. The needles are finely serrated, [5] and 5–13 cm (2–5 in) long.
The tree was climbed on October 13, 2011, by Ascending The Giants (a tree-climbing company in Portland, Oregon) and directly measured with tape-line at 268 ft 3 in (81.77 m) high. [ 23 ] [ 24 ] As of 2015, a Pinus lambertiana specimen was measured at 273 ft 9 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (83.45 m), [ 25 ] which surpassed the ponderosa pine previously ...
