Production

Average productivity: 250 to 375 m3/ha in a cycle of 20 or 25 years or 10 to 15 m3/ha/year.

60% of the production has to be harvested at the end of the cycle. If this cycle is extended, the logs increases in diameter and aggregates even more value.

The first thinning is made after the 4th year. In this phase the logs are well rounded and can be utilized as fence posts, stanchions, beams for rustic constructions, etc..
