I saw this at HD. I had to make sure it was pine, it is, from New Zealand. According to Grokipedia, it is very rare to get this. I got it for $30, I think I scored, did I? ETA: Can you see the picture? Looks like vertical lines to me....

If it’s pine, and it’s from New Zealand, then it’s radiata pine. “So what?” you might say. “What’s the big deal about radiata pine?” See, radiata isn’t native to New Zealand. It’s native to a section of the California coast, and a few Mexican islands. In its native range it’s this scrubby, twisted, short, tree, eking out a miserable existence on rocky slopes and arid coastal outcrops.  But take it halfway around the world, plant it in deep fertile volcanic soils, give it tender loving care by some of the most advanced forestry tech in the world, and it turns into a tall, straight, majestic tree.

ProTip: Never pick a fight with a tree planter. He swings a hoedad for 9 hours a day, carries 30-40 pounds of seedlings on his back, and has 12-14 friends just like him hiding out on the other side of the junk butt pile. They will fuck your shit up.
