Several genera of conifers produce resin in copious quantities, which are then harvested and put to a wide variety of uses. These have made resin one of the most important non-wood products from conifers. The following sections describe some of the more important sources and uses of conifer resins.irtually all pines will yield resin if tapped. Key factors that determine feasibility for tapping are the quality (terpene content) and quantity of resin obtained. Today, only the diploxylon (hard) pines are commercially tapped.
