The western white pine was brought into the production line in 1920. The largest recording was in 1937 when 563 million broad feet was produced. But in 1980 the cutting amount was shortened the production was 200 million feet annually. [http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/usda/amwood/258wwhpi.pdf]The leading state in producing white pine wood is Idaho. It also is the leader in plywood production. In the mid 1920’s there was put out a major Impact about introducing a pathogen, they have tried to make it to white blister. The method was shortly shut down in 1968 because it took to much effort to keep this processing to going. The biggest threats to the western white pine that could make them die are fire, insects, and diseases. [http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/usda/amwood/258wwhpi.pdf]The tree is somewhat fire resistant, but not fully resistant. There is a disease that is very common that will infect the western pine its called the “blister rust”. The disease will occur when the roots start to deteriate and then this makes the tree unable to get water to the vital organs in the tree. | The western white pine was brought into the production line in 1920.
