That sounds similar to Radiata Pine. Which was originally native to California. They brought Radiata to Chile, Uruguay and New Zealand and planted forests of it. It is now the largest export species for those countries. A lot of it goes into wooden moldings and mill work. It competes with Ponderosa Pine for window and door parts in the USA.

I had an arborist look at my eucalyptus trees - which were recommended to me by an arborist before I knew all the problems with eucalyptus.

I was terrified one of them was going to fall on my home or one of the cars - as happened to a neighbor.

He assured me the variety that I have in the yard have deeper roots and do not fall over during high winds - I certainly hope so.
