Hi Nifty, used to be Pinus elliottii way back in the old days but the shiny-bums have more than likely separated it from all the other pines, redrawn the needles cones and branches, recatalogued and renamed it. Like eucs and corymbias?
Obviously we hortis needed this, especially when teaching the subject.
Does the same job, dunnage, framing, fast plantation.

Mate a blunt axe would cut slash pine but it comes down to how much it wastes as to whether it is actually worth doing it!!

Pity I'm not in Perth - nothing wrong driving a Lucas through pine at 400mm diameter, if it's circumference of 400mm that's a totally different idea, but 400mm dia. - thats terrific, I'd love doing it all day and more so the sizes you are talkin too!

its not worth cutting wholesale but retailing it as framing and teh like its worth cutting. got about 3-400 logs in teh yad now waiting to be cut. most of them are no better than 250.
