When we talk about the timber that is suitable for construction, we have referred to the C16 strength reference, for example. I mention the likes of Sitka spruce, which has a poor reputation in this country but we probably misplanted it and there are legacy issues. Is that the type of timber that is suitable for construction? It is quite good at carbon sequestration. Is that the kind of timber we would use in CLT, for example?
