Growing and Maintenance Tips:


The red pine needs sun and space to grow. It does better in the countryside since it is not tolerant of air pollution and salt damage. 

Additional Notes about Red Pine:


The roots of the red pine go fairly deep into the ground and are widespread; this means the tree can withstand strong winds. Wood from the red pine has been used to make poles, pilings and used as structural timber.

Native to Ontario
