Category: Newzealand Pine Barks

New Zealand pine bark usually refers to the bark from Radiata pine (Pinus radiata), the most widely planted pine species in New Zealand forestry.

🌲 What it is:
It’s the outer protective layer of the Radiata pine tree trunk and branches. As a by-product of timber harvesting, this bark is often processed into smaller pieces or chips.

🪵 Appearance & Texture:
In its natural form, pine bark is brown to reddish-brown, rough, and fibrous. When broken or milled into small pieces it becomes coarse chips or fines suitable for various uses.

🌱 Common Uses:

Horticulture: small bark pieces are used as a growing medium or mulch (especially popular in orchid mixes) because they help retain moisture and aeration for plant roots.

Mulch & Soil Cover: improves soil moisture retention, suppresses weeds, and protects soil from temperature swings.

Industrial By-product: raw bark is sometimes burned for energy or used in compost mixes.
