Known for its towering height and versatile wood, it has a storied history in the building and crafting industries. Native to regions in eastern North America, it has been widely used in shipbuilding during colonial times due to its long, straight trunks and the light, yet strong, nature of its wood. Today, it remains a favorite for construction and decorative uses, cherished not only for its utility but also for its stately appearance and the serene ambience it imparts to landscapes.
