Red Pine is tall and straight stemmed. It is native to Michigan and is an excellent tree for reforestation on poor, sandy sites. It is also used for windbreaks and wildlife. It is especially beneficial to nesting songbirds and provides important winter cover for birds and mammals. Red pine is sensitive to salt and soil compaction.
