TL;DR Summary: Is there a species of pine tree whose dried needles are somewhat soft (like those of the Eastern White Pine) and will thrive in the southwest USA?

Is there a species of pine tree whose dried needles are somewhat soft (like those of the Eastern White Pine) and will thrive in the southwest USA?

It would also be nice if the tree had smooth bark. As a child, I recall the fun of climbing eastern white pines, but I don't see kids climbing the rough barked pines here in southern NM.

Hi, @Stephen Tashi, I've tried in vain to help you. Maybe if you could write in Latin the name of the Eastern White Pine?.

Greetings!
