Pinus radiata, also known as Monterey Pine or Insignis Pine in some parts of the world, and Radiata Pine in others, is a species of pine native to coastal California and other warm temperate parts of the world. It grows quickly, up to 3-7.5 ft per year, and is tolerant of maritime exposure and salt-laden winds, making it an excellent shelterbelt tree. Its bright green needles and 7-inch cones are a beautiful specimen, which is used ornamentally in southern California, especially along the coast. As a timber tree, it is found throughout the world in Mediterranean climates. It is a fast-growing tree, adaptable to a broad range of soil types and climates, making it ideal for forestry. The species has been extensively cultivated in many other warm temperate parts of the world, and accounts for over 90% of forest plantations in New Zealand. Its cultivation is also prevalent in Australia, where it is less than 1% of the total forested area. Despite its ecological and commercial benefits, it is considered a noxious weed in California, and its populations face threats from introduced fungal diseases, such as Pine Pitch Canker, which seriously threaten the Monterey Pine forests.
