They are the Monterey pine which do amazingly well here, 25 - 30 years for a mill-able log. Just a cheap fast growing tree that requires chemical preserving treatment. Finding nowadays other tree species are becoming more common, i really like the Redwood or sequoia, amazing tree that again does well in the more wetter areas of NZ.
