Red Pine
A dark green evergreen that has tight conical form while young and develops an open structure and picturesque branching as it ages. It is a very hardy tree that will prosper in a variety of soils and sites. It does become quite tall and especially broad so it needs space. It is a long lived tree, potentially living for hundreds of years. The bark which is red tinged from crown to base is what gives this tree its name.
