Greetings all

Wondering if there is any reasonably reliable way to distinguish between 
the wood of the southern yellow pine group (Pinus echinata, P. palustris, 
P. taeda,  P. elliotii, P. rigida) and Radiata pine (Pinus 
radiata).  Particularly plantation grown Radiata. This question keeps 
coming up in my little world, and I have yet to find an answer. Even 
confirmation that the wood of radiata canNOT be distinguished from SYP 
would be useful. Guidance to any supporting documentation and references 
would be appreciated. I have already dug through everything I have within 
reach, again.

Thanks
Osborn
