Overview
(Pinus strobus)
A Courting Tree
Nat Perry tells us that the tree is a "courting tree." His mother and father, and his uncle and aunt, all visited the tree as a public way to signify the serious nature of their romance.
Haiku
The Main Street Museum visited the tree in the fall of 2008 for a fieldtrip. The following haiku was composed.
All fall—leaves, rain, all.
The sun sinks, the year declines.
Time to see Old Pine.
- —D.S.H.
