Jeff Tombleson The Radiata Story
28
(No Transcript)
29
New Zealand, Australia and Chile have the
potential to collectively increase the harvest of
radiata pine by 16 million m3 per annum over the
next 5-10 years
30
Then we planted..and planted and planted

31
But what we planted was not a complete
substitute for indigenous species.

• This wood didnt make good flooring or joinery or
  roofing

32
Designing New Materials

• Create new markets for radiata pine by enhancing
  and tuning performance
• stronger, tougher
• impact resistant
• additives (fire resistant)
• cost benefits
• sustainable

33
Pioneering Successes

• Current industry - 5 billion
• outputs
• Future projected - 20 billion
• outputs
• Innovation, processing efficiency
• and environmental management
• are key success factors

Seedlings vs Cuttings

Seedlings versus Aged Cuttings

57
Initial Stocking

• Initial to final crop selection ratio 21 (max)
• Ranges between 500 1200 trees/ha
• Commonly 625 trees/ha

58
Pruning Direct Saw-log Regime

• Commences when trees are 4 - 5m tall
• 380 trees/ha (maximum)
• Annual pruning lifts leaving 3 to 4m crown length
• Assume a target final stocking of 330 trees/ha?
• Pruned height 5.5m
• Thin unpruned trees to waste following first
  pruning lift

59
Final Crop Stocking

• 285 to 350 trees/ha

60

Age 30 years 400 stems/ha 1000 m3/ha

Genetic improvement
Age 27 years 1,308 m3/ha

New Zealand Forestry Issues
Protection of Native ForestsNZ is wholly
dependent upon Exotic plantations for its forest
products industry Need to develop forest
industryuses former grazing lands Investments
in nature conservation and tourism
infrastructure Exchange Rates US Fiscal
Irresponsibility destroying the market and
reducing rural employment Kyoto provides new
opportunities. NZ has a surplus of Carbon
credits and is developing markets China/Russia
trade, much of it illegal logging, is driving the
world forest products industry. Lots of
international competition for markets
