Pinus radiata
Plantation radiata pine
This species is the most commonly grown softwood in the southern hemisphere. It grows vigorously on good soils with adequate rainfall and can reach a height of over 40 metres on these sites. It is extensively used in the sawmilling industry and pruned logs can bring a premium price. The seed we supply is from seed orchards where parent trees have been selected for vigour, straightness of form, small branch size and good wood qualities.
