Re: Windbreaks
wow, thats a slow tree! Anyways i can see why P. radiata and C.
macrocarpa would be used for lumber, both grow fast and both grow
straight. Also all the trees you mentioned are slow growers (compared
to P. radiata and C. macrocarpa). I dont think here in monterey where
both P radiata and C. macrocarpa are native people would consider
growing them for lumber! Probably because where they do grow they are
rare and keep the hill sides nice and forested. C. macrocarpa would
take forever to rot here, being dry and all for most of the year, so it
probably would make a great material for fences and yard furniture.
C macrocarpa is often grown around the farm houses out in salinas where
it gets very tall. The trunks are fairly good sized. Also ive seen C.
macrocarpa used for bonsai even!
