 In the sub-tropics of the Southern Hemisphere, including Chile, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, Argentina and New Zealand, the trees are not indigenous but were introduced.Anywhere there is a pine tree or pine stump, there can be fatwood that can be found on top of the ground, but it is more concentrated and preserved in stumps.In the United States the pine tree, "Pinus palustris", known as the Longleaf pine, once covered as much as but due to clear cutting was reduced by between 95% and 97%.
