Isn't that Pinus strobus?

This from someone who flunked out of Wood Technology in favor of Mechanical
Engineering cuz he couldn't memorize the Latin...

Picky, Picky, Picky. (Or is that Pretty Pitchy For A White Pine?).

In the UK, yellow pine is technically restricted to Pinus stobus, but the
widespread application of the name to the taeda group is commonly accepted.

My main point of reference is BS7359:1991 (Commercial Timbers including
sources of supply )."

Hope this helps.
