Broadly refers to several soft-wooded pines prized for timber, most famously Pinus strobus (eastern white pine) in North America, which was so valued by the British Crown that colonial trees were marked with the King's Broad Arrow. The name signals pale, lightweight wood compared to denser yellow or hard pines.
