Pine
The growth range of the species is larger than that of any other softwood. It can be found from Scotland to the Pacific Coast of Siberia, from Norway to Spain, from Arctic Siberia to Mongolia and also in the Mediterranean region. The tree grows up to 10 – 30 m (max 40 m). Scots pine wood from the Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway) is a species for saw milling with a large volume of lumber produced in Scandinavia. Maritime pine is naturally growing in the west of the Mediterranean basin and is largely used in France as plantation tree.
