Abstract
The forest industries of the Republic of South Africa depend heavily on introduced tree species such as the American southern pines, slash and loblolly (Pinus elliottii var. elliottii P. taeda.) Because only a very small area is available for high-quality plantations, South Africa has developed an intensive management system which aims for short rotations and high product quality, particularly for sawlogs and peeler logs.
