I think my pine tree is a Red Pine too (Pinus resinosa). It is very healthy, but I think someone topped it when it was young, as it has multiple leaders. I don't know how old it is, but seems very unlikely to be anywhere near the 100 year mark, as this was probably second growth forest then, and they are not native here. I live in zone 8, but it is cool and dry in the summer here, not like zone 8 in the south.
This is a very nice pine tree. The cones are not large, and are not prickly, so if they fall on you it is no big deal.
