A lot of people think ponderosa pine is the world's largest pine, but super pine get larger. They also have the longest cones, up to 24 inches long. I milled up a dead sugar pine tree into lumber and slabs on my Woodmizer LT15 sawmill. Some of the blue stained material was beautiful. After that video, by popular request from viewers, I will take you on a sugar pine tour showing you some of the sugar pine trees I have.
Sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana) grows in some parts of Oregon, California, a small area of Mexico and a small area in Nevada. It is a 5 needle pine, related to the white pines.
Here is the playlist for cutting down and milling that dead sugar pine into beautiful lumber and slabs.
