Description
Pine tree substrate materials have traditionally been produced from freshly harvested loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) trees that were chipped and then further processed in a hammer mill through screen sizes ranging from 3/16- to 3/8-inch. The resulting end product contained a mix of particle sizes and shapes, mostly being a fibrous-like material. It was the mix of fibrous particle sizes that gave the material water-holding properties similar to some peat and pine bark substrates. Our Wood chips are from Hardwood.
We supply hardwood and softwood chips, whole tree and mill residuals with bark or debarked, according to customer specifications. The pine wood chips are sorted to customer specifications and processed as clean pine softwood chips.
Chipping and debarking is done in the forest or at the mill depending on the logistical planning process. We can meet any sizing and quality specification. In order to ensure the highest quality, our wood chips are regularly tested according to ASTM standards for moisture, sizing, bark content, rot, and ash content.

What to Do With Pine Wood Chips?
