Abstract

The more commonly and successfully grown species of timber trees, grown in New Zealand as alternatives to radiata pine, are briefly reviewed, with emphasis on site requirements and timber end uses. Their silviculture and marketing is considered. The groups covered are Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menzesii), the cypresses (Cupressus species and hybrids), eucalypts (Eucalyptus spp.), acacias (Acacia melanoxylon and some others) and more briefly redwood (Sequoia sempervirens and Sequoiadendron giganteum) and poplars (Populus spp.).
