Pinus radiata (syn. Pinus insignis), the Monterey pine,[3] insignis pine[4] or radiata pine, is a species of pine native to the Central Coast of California and Mexico (on Guadalupe Island and Cedros island). It is an evergreen conifer in the family Pinaceae.
P. radiata is a versatile, fast-growing, medium-density softwood, suitable for a wide range of uses and valued for rapid growth, as well as desirable lumber and pulp qualities.[5] Its silviculture reflects a century of research, observation and practice.[5] It is often considered a model for growers of other plantation species.[5]
Although P. radiata is extensively cultivated as a plantation timber in many temperate parts of the world,[6] it faces serious threats in its natural range,[7] due to the introduction of a fungal parasite, the pine pitch canker (Fusarium circinatum).
