Red Pine

Red Pine
Pinus resinosa

Red Pine is not really native to Indiana, but there have been a couple of supposed native trees found here, although those must have been an anomaly. This is a more northern tree and the southern edge of its historic range is about halfway down the mitt of Michigan.

On the other hand, this tree has been planted extensively in Indiana and can be quite commonly found all over the place, although I've never seen any young trees that were offspring of planted trees.

It's a nice tree for wildlife, especially in the winter. They provide good shelter for owls. One year I had a long-eared owl spend the winter in some red pines on my property.
