we call them pinus radiata

All over the show and very quick growing which makes them a good crop. You'd get better timber from slower growth though.

December 1, 186- brite and fair, late to brekfast, but mother dident say
nothing. father goes to boston and works in the custum house so i can
get up as late as i want to. father says he works like time, but i went
to boston once and father dident do anything but tell stories about what
he and Gim Melcher usted to do when he was a boy. once or twice when a
man came in they would all be wrighting fast, when the man came in again
i sed why do you all wright so fast when he comes in and stop when he
goes out, and the man sort of laffed and went out laffing, and the men
were mad and told father not to bring that dam little fool again.

A couple of miles north.  I think the somewhere they were imported from may be Monterey.  They're not lumber trees here, but that's another story.  PM coming, once I figger out how to word it.

Wish I could tell you, but I don't know much about species of pines. I do know pine trees of any kind aren't native to NZ, and they were imported here from somewhere. They tend to plant them on mountainsides or tall hills quite often, then cut them all down at once. It's like strip mining for lumber, and not a pretty sight after they're done. I've been told a lot of foreign investors own the land and lumber, but not sure if it's true or not. Enough logging trucks rolling through the middle North Island to make you think you're in Canada, though. Do you live in Monterey, G?

My sentiments, approximately.

Hey, Cookie, question for you.  I understand that the Monterey Pine is grown as a lumber tree in NZ.  Do you know anything about that?

He worked at a shipyard in Quincy, MA, and I worked there as a welder one generation later. Even knew his grandkids in school, also named Kilroy.
