Trees in Tasmania - Old macrocarpa "pine"
28-09-2013 06:39:20 (3837)

Cupressus macrocarpa known commonly as "Macrocarpa pine" is not a real "Pine" (Pinus). It is hardy and was planted for shelter on many farms. Unfortunately many trees have been poorly managed and now have large branches damaging nearby buildings and fences, and shading pasture so grass cannot grow. Active management can prevent this costly situation from occurring.
