Red Hills Lumber vertical grain heart pine is quartersawn, with grain angles between 45° - 90° forming an elegant pinstripe pattern on the face of the board, and commonly seen from ~1910-1940, as well as in some elegant homes from the 19th century. Generally graded for cut as opposed to heart content, so heart content varies but generally matches historic floors of equivalent widths, and can be re-graded for custom heart content. Red Hills' quartersawn pine is much tighter grain than other "vertical grain pine" available today, and a better match for most historic homes or newer homes that just want that classic look.
