Growing Radiata Pine

The Radiata pine is a towering, versatile conifer (up to 60 meters & up to 2-meter diameter), that is widely planted and seen in New Zealand forests.  It is a fast-growing, low-maintenance evergreen that is useful as timber.  Known for its strength, it can tolerate coastal to sub-alpine conditions. If not harvested for its timber, it can live for around 150 years.
