Quality requirements for wood vary depending on the end application. Well-managed and fast-growing forests will continue to provide diverse raw material in terms of quality in the future.<\/p><p><strong>Pine and larch heartwood.<\/strong> As a tree ages, the inner part of the trunk, starting from the pith, transforms into heartwood. In pine and larch, the extractives accumulated in the heartwood make it decay-resistant. Thanks to these natural extractives, timber made from the heartwood of these tree species is long-lasting even in applications exposed to weathering, such as outdoor terraces and pier structures.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bd35fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"5bd35fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suomen pisin puu, 47,3 metrin pituinen euroopanlehtikuusi, kasvaa yhdess\u00e4 Punkaharjun vanhimmista mets\u00e4viljelmist\u00e4.
