Red Pine

Pinus resinosa

Summary 5

Red Pine (Pinus resinosa) is a pine native to northeastern North America, occurring from Newfoundland west to southeast Manitoba, and south to northern Illinois and Pennsylvania, with a small outlying population in the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. In Vermont, Red Pine naturally occurs mainly on dry mountaintops and ridges and in dry sandy areas, where fires can occasionally occur. It has also been widely planted in plantations.

Red Pine can be distinguished by its platy red bark and its needles in bundles of two.
