Red Pine

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.

Red Pine is a large evergreen with an open, rounded crown and red bark when mature. This long-lived tree thrives in well-drained soils. Red Pine makes an attractive landscaping tree for larger properties.
