Ironwood Tree

Eastern White Pine is a large pine native to eastern North America. It is the provincial tree of Ontario.

This long-lived, rapid growing giant is known for its long, flexible blue-green needles. Eastern White Pine is low-maintenance and makes a beautiful ornamental tree suitable for large properties and parks.

Ironwood Tree is one of the strongest and most resilient trees you will find in North America. In fact, it has the hardest and most dense wood of any North American tree. Prized for its oval shaped canopy and showy winter trunk, this striking shade tree will make a beautiful addition to any yard. Make sure you do not plant near roads as it is highly salt sensitive.
