Discover the beauty of Pinus resinosa, also known as red pine, a magnificent, tall evergreen tree native to North America. Growing in diverse habitats, this coniferous tree can grow up to 110 ft in height and can live for up to 500 years. Known for its tall, straight growth and distinctive bark that is thick and grey-brown at the base but turns thin, flaky and bright orange-red in the upper crown, the red pine is a sight to behold in any landscape. It's also self-pruning, maintaining a clean, aesthetically pleasing appearance as it ages. The red pine produces timber and paper pulp of significant commercial value. Its resin also contains turpentine, a substance with antiseptic, diuretic, rubefacient and vermifuge properties, often used in treating kidney and bladder complaints and rheumatic afflictions. Moreover, it's the state tree of Minnesota. Favoring well-drained soil and windy sites, this species thrives best under direct sunlight. Add a touch of majesty to your surroundings with the red pine.
