The main difference between red and white pine is the amount of needles the pines have per bundle.

The red pines have two needles per bundle and the white pine has 5 needles per bundle.

The Jack Pine also has two needles per bundle like the white pines do.

Red Pine Trees are also known as Pinus resinosa.

Red Pine Trees are a pine tree that is native to North America.

The Red Pines grow in locations from Newfoundland west to Manitoba, and south to Pennsylvania, with several smaller, disjunct populations

White Pines are also known as Pinus strobus and they commonly denominated the eastern white pine, northern white pine, white pine, Weymouth pine, and soft pine is a large pine native to eastern North America.
