Macrocarpa plantation

Small woodlots of macrocarpa have been established on farms throughout the country and if well pruned, healthy trees yield strong, durable timber. Macrocarpa can be used for many purposes around a farm such as exterior joinery, weatherboards, gates and fence posts, and is in demand for making furniture, interior panels, flooring and framings. These 11-year-old trees are in a plantation in Balclutha, Otago.
