I just thought it was funny how in Aus we plant fast growing softwoods while the place I visited in Thailand had planted Australian timbers.

I bet it grows fast their, are the soft woods hybrid poplar?

It didn't seem to be growing fast but they have the trees close together so it is straight and not many knots (limited branches down low). The pine in Qld Aus seems to be slash pine Caribbean pine, or a hybrid of the two.

I am really interested in wattel trees, I think they have a potential to be a big cash crop
