Abstract: At the outset the author states that: ‘This book is about how to grow Pinus radiata (radiata pine) forest plantations.’ It certainly covers a very wide range of topics - from the ecology of radiata pine within its natural range to the complexities of current research into tree breeding, silviculture and wood utilisation. The book also reviews the social, economic and environmental aspects of radiata pine plantations and includes a chapter on the use of radiata pine on farms.
