In summary, the conversation is about finding a species of pine tree with soft, eastern white pine-like needles that can thrive in the southwest USA. It would also be ideal if the tree had smooth bark for climbing. The location in question is southern New Mexico, and the thread has been moved to a different forum for more responses.

TL;DR Summary: Is there a species of pine tree whose dried needles are somewhat soft (like those of the Eastern White Pine) and will thrive in the southwest USA?

It would also be nice if the tree had smooth bark. As a child, I recall the fun of climbing eastern white pines, but I don't see kids climbing the rough barked pines here in southern NM.

Hi, @Stephen Tashi, I've tried in vain to help you. Maybe if you could write in Latin the name of the Eastern White Pine?.

Greetings!
