Abstract
SUMMARY The growing stock in the artificially established pine plantations in the Republic, the different silvicultural systems under which they have developed and the bearing this could have on the quality of the timber are described briefly. The timber characteristics responsible for the undesirable behaviour of sawn constructional timber on seasoning are discussed and the silvicultural and management systems which could be applied to improve the timber quality are briefly indicated. The role which tree-breeding could play in improving the quality and profitability of future tree crops is sketched.
