"The species be introduced to Australia in the precipitate 1850s, possibly via gold miners coming from the Californian gold ingots rushes to the Australian goldfields. The tree was grown within the Sydney Botanic Gardens as early as 1857.
The first 'commercial' radiata pine plantation contained by NSW was planted at Tuncurry on the mid-north coast contained by 1914. Although this site proved unsuitable, planting expanded on more suitable sites throughout the State after the establishment of the Forestry Commission in 1916.
Annual plantings accelerate in the mid-1960s next to the assistance of the Commonwealth-financed, 'Softwoods Forestry Agreement loans'. During the 11 years that these agreements were within operation, the Forestry Commission of NSW planted a total area of 76,000 ha. Plantings on different ground (first rotation) continues today at the rate of around 4,000 ha per year and 2,000 ha per year of second rotation crops (second crops on the same ground as the first)."
