Pinus radiata

Pinus radiata (syn. Pinus insignis), the Monterey pine, insignis pine or radiata pine, is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae, a pine native to the Central Coast of California, and the Guadalupe and Cedros islands of Mexico.

Pinus radiata is a versatile, fast-growing, medium-density softwood, suitable for a wide range of uses and valued for rapid growth (up to two meters (6.5 feet) in one year), as well as desirable lumber and pulp qualities. Its silviculture reflects a century of research, observation and practice.
