Abstract: Although most of Canterbury is not a good forest site, exotic forests, particularly of Pinus radiata, have been established with considerable success for many years. Their silviculture and management must always take into account the difficult climatic and site conditions under which they grow.
Detailed aims of management and management prescriptions, as carried out at present, are described and discussed. A mean annual increment of 310 cu. ft for Pinus radiata is possible provided thinning can be undertaken and disasters are not encountered.
Adequate stumpages are essential for a full management programme. The independent forest owner cannot continue without making a profit and the type of stumpages necessary and possible are shown.
