It is one of the many plantation forests planted since European settlement. The Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata) is commonly used for plantations since a fast growing cultivar suitable for a wide range of conditions has been developed.

In a few species, notably the Monterey pine and pond pine, the seeds remain in closed cones for many years. The cones open during the heat of a forest fire, and the seeds are released to repopulate the burned area.
