Common name: Klinki pine

Native to Papua New Guinea, this timber-producing conifer reaches heights of 50 to 80 meters in natural forests. It develops a straight, uniform trunk and when closely spaced is branch-free for about half of its height, due to its self-pruning habit. The crown is pyramidal to narrowly rounded with evergreen leaves that are typically conifer-like, having [edit]

Use: It produces a low weight timber, with a density of around 450 kilograms per cubic meter and with a low natural resistance to decay, which puts it in the non-durable softwood class.

The sawn timber is used mainly for interior work, including joinery, cabinet building and flooring and for making boxes and crates. The roundwood is cut for poles, such as tall transmission poles used to carry electrical and communication cables, for slicing into decorative veneer and for processing into manufactured wood such as plywood and pulp for manufacturing paper products.

Climate: Grows naturally and has its best development in moderately humid to humid tropical lowland to mid-elevation climates, generally in areas with average annual lows of 15 to 20 °C, annual highs of 26 to 31 °C, annual rainfall of 1800 to 3000 mm and a dry season of 2 months or less.
