Pine Sawmills New Zealand

Radiata pine is reported to be steadily growing as a replacement for the more expensive Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir in the United States and Japan.

Extensive research and experience in plantation forestry has provided a good understanding of how New Zealand pine log quality can be influenced by genetic selection, silviculture and the method of conversion.

Radiata pine grows faster here than anywhere else. It adapts to different site conditions and responds well to silviculture treatments.
