Synonyms: Norway Pine.
Red Pine is native to northeastern North America and the Great Lakes states. It is considered non-native in Maryland, but was much planted for Christmas trees and pulpwood and has escaped from cultivation, especially in western Maryland. It grows well on dry sites (Brown and Brown, 1972).
Red Pine bark is thick and gray-brown at the tree base. In the upper crown, the bark is thin, scaly, and bright orange-red, which accounts for the tree's name. The tree is tall and straight. Needles are in bundles of two.
Host plant for various moth species including Adana Pine Tip Moth, Red Pine Tip Moth, Pitch Twig Moth, and Corticivora clarki (Gilligan, Wright, & Gibson, 2008).
