PORTLAND, Ore. — April 1, 2019 — Hampton Lumber, a third-generation, family-owned wood products manufacturer and forestland owner today announced its cutting-edge line of smart trees, the IoTree. Available today by special order, the IoTree is a voice-enabled, cloud-connected structure perfect for the backyard. The two hundred-foot tall IoTree is the first smart device to be pioneered by the lumber industry.

The IoTree starts at a reasonable $375,000 and takes just a matter of days to install.
