Reviews the properties and treatment of Sitka spruce, which is the most widely grown softwood in the UK and which is increasingly being used for timber cladding. Looks at the results of projects funded by the Forestry Commission and the EU Northern Periphery Programme which show that Sitka spruce has the potential for a longer service life than is achieved currently.
