I was talking with a biologist here in Vermont and he told me that white pine is a terrible food source for deer because the needles contain resins which gum up the
deer' s digestion. Although they could browse on them, my guess would be that deer would pass on the white pines for another sourse of feed.

I am also planting 200 9" -14" white pines this spring. I want to " thicken" up a bedding area.
