tree's
{missing data} yielding
{missing data} -
{missing data} oil. The
tree's wood is called
{missing data} and has a density of
550 -
580 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the
tree's growing speed is
fast, it's energetic value is
4500 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is
{missing data}. After
25 years the
tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal.
Pinus kesiya has a lifespan of
300 years.
Environmental limitations
The tree is
42 meters tall with a crown of
