Red pine
Red pine (Pinus resinosa)

Family: Pinaceae

Common names: American red pine, Canadian red pine, Hard pine, Norway pine, Ottawa red pine, Pig iron pine, Pine, Pitch pine, Quebec red pine, Red pine, Shellbark Norway

Distributed in: Canada, United States (North America)

Distribution overview: Native to the northeastern part of North America, the growth range of Red pine extends from Newfoundland and Quebec west to Ontario and southeastern Manitoba, and south to northeastern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, northern Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, and Maine. It prefers well-drained soils, especially in sandy plains, and is usually found in mixed forests. It grows at elevations of 700 to 1400 feet (213 to 427 m) in the northern regions of its range, up to 2700 feet (823 m) in the Adirondacks, and at 3800 to 4300 feet (1158 to 1311 m) in West Virginia.

Common uses: Agricultural implements, Beams, Blinds, Boat building (general), Boat building: masts, Boxes and crates, Bridge construction, Building construction, Building materials, Cabin construction, Cabinetmaking, Casks, Chemical derivatives, Concrete formwork, Construction, Crossties, Exterior trim & siding, Exterior uses, Factory construction, Flooring, Form work, Foundation posts, Framing, Fuelwood, Heavy construction, Interior construction, Interior trim, Joinery (external): ground contact, Joinery, Joists, Light construction, Millwork, Moldings, Packing cases, Pallets, Piling, Poles, Porch columns, Posts, Pulp/Paper products, Pulpwood, Railroad ties, Rough construction, Shakes, Sheathing, Shingles, Shutters, Siding, Stakes, Structural work, Studs, Toys, Trimming, Vats

Product sources: The largest Radiata pine resource in the world is believed to be in Chile, where the climate is quite favorable for the cultivation of Radiata pine. Radiata pine trees grown on plantations in Chile are often ready to harvest in 16 to 25 years. The species is also grown for commercial consumption on plantations in several countries, including New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. It is the most often planted softwood in both temperate and warm climates, with most of the timber on the market originating from plantation grown trees. Reports from New Zealand indicate that there are currently (March, 1995) no independently certified sources of Radiata pine. Local laws governing the management of New Zealand plantation forests prohibit activities that will adversely affect the environment. Certified wood products are, however, expected to become available in the near future. Most of the exports from New Zealand are in the form of two-by-four sawn boards for construction and logs to Australia, Asia, and some to the United States. \
