Norfolk/Cook Island pine
Norfolk pine (Araucaria heterophylla) and Cook pine (Araucaria columnaris) are visually similar conifers common as windbreaks or ornamental plantings in various elevations. Both are used interchangeably at times for landscaping on Hawaiʻi Island.
The wood can be milled for lumber, featuring pale coloration and sometimes attractive knot patterns. On Hawaiʻi Island, small-scale logging takes place when large ornamental or windbreak specimens are removed. Some local woodworkers create furniture, paneling, or novelty items from Norfolk/Cook pine. While not a major forestry plantation crop, these pines provide a modest resource for specialty lumber and are occasionally used for veneer or decorative interior elements. Demand remains niche, as consistent stands for commercial harvest are limited.
