Pinus radiata cultivars (Monterey pine)

Pinus radiata is the most widely planted commercial timber tree in the world. However, in its native range, consisting of five populations in California and Baja California, Mexico, the species is threatened by a number of human-caused impacts: development, human-dispersed plant pathogens, non-native herbivores, etc. Our assessment is specifically based only on populations, stands, or individuals of the species that have become established due to human introductions, or reasonably considered to have been dispersed from such human introductions of the species.
