Some similarities to :
No relation to : Bhutan Pine rarely occurs naturally, but is often planted in gardens, many quite small. The wood is moderately hard, durable and is highly resinous, making a good firewood, but gives off a pungent resinous smoke when burning. Commercially it is used as a good source of terpentine, which is not a single chemical, but rather a whole mixture of hydrocarbons, mainly terpenes, with the monoterpenes α-Pinene and β-Pinene being the main constituents. It tolerates more pollution than most pine or coniferous trees, and is popular in large parks and gardens, having an attractive drooping foliage. ANY TEXT GOES HERE |
