Discover the exceptional Pinus attenuata var. X radiata—a robust hybrid pine that masterfully combines the resilience of Pinus attenuata with the rapid growth of Pinus radiata. Perfectly suited for commercial forestry, especially in colder, drier environments, this hybrid flourishes where others falter. Boasting an impressive growth rate that outpaces Pinus attenuata while rivaling Pinus radiata, it presents a viable forestry solution in challenging regions. Its distinctive knobby cones remain closed for years, encapsulating its unique character and adaptability. Resilient against cold and snow, this pine hybrid thrives under harsh conditions and is particularly adept at enduring strong winds due to its open crown form. Strategically utilized in high-altitude regions, it's often chosen over Douglas-fir, reflecting its versatile application. First trialed by Scion and Proseed in the late 1990s, this pioneering hybrid represents a forward-thinking alternative to radiata pine, particularly for southern climates seeking resilience and growth.
