The type of trees killed for paper (and timber) here in New Zealand are utter trash, pinus radiata.

Later, commercial success for Radiata came from being in the right place at the right time.

So the government went on a mass pinus radiata planting exercise from the 50s to 70s.

Sustainable forests of pine (pinus radiata) here reach maturity in 25 years, when the timber can be harvested, and new trees planted.

Within 3 years, Radiata got acquired by Cisco for AUD 560 million.

Closer to now, I recently dusted off Radiata Stories (2005) and it is just as great as I remembered it.

Modern pine trees (especially pinus radiata in NZ) are incredibly fast growing.

If you cut into it, for example the endgrain on every plank you buy - it'll need to be sealed just as regular radiata pina.

> Sixty years ago, timber companies began to grow Radiata Pine in countries like New Zealand and Chile.

It takes pinus radiata about 25 years to reach maturity.

One is Tchaikovsky's Cappricio Italiano, the other is "Corona Radiata".

The same tree grown on plantations outside the US produces straight grained "radiata" pine lumber.

The link below for Australian timber sizes shows how complex this can get, for sawn timber 4x2" is equivalent to 100x50mm which becomes 90x42mm for dressed/finished timber but not so for, say, Radiata Pine Kiln Dried Dressed which is 90x45mm.

The research project was eventually shut down due to lack of commercial interest, but the research leaders had enough faith to immediately start their own company (Radiata).

Radiata, some of the simplest multi-cellular mobile animals, have nervous systems, but some threat responses, like stingers, are wholly automated and disconnected from their nervous systems entirely.
