Is all “heart pine” harvested in America?
Heart pine floors are an American tradition because of the durability and hardness that exists in the species of southern pine harvested exclusively in the southeast United States. It is an important issue to Authentic Pine Floors to purchase only pine harvested in the southeastern United States from managed forests. Ocote pine from the Central American rainforest, pine from China and Russian larch are being sold as Heart Pine. Ask before you purchase to ensure you are getting true Heart Pine floors.
