Its common name stems from its silvery-white bark, which contrasts beautifully with its dark green needles. Western White Pine is commonly used for lumber, as its wood is prized for its light weight and durability.

These names all refer to the same species of tree, which is a popular sight in the forests and mountains of its native range.
