timber tree plantations Explanation: There's no doubt that "planta maderable" is a timber tree (by definition, if it produces timber it's a tree, so there's not much point in saying 'plants'). However, I'm wondering if "trasladadas" might refer back to "siembras," meaning that the trees were transplanted. In other words these would be tree plantations, as opposed to natural forest. Examples: https://books.google.com/books?isbn=9048198704 David Lamb - 2010 - Technology & Engineering ... could switch to an alternative crop such as oil palm or other land uses if this was deemed to be more financially attractive than**timber tree plantations**. https://books.google.com/books?id=SfcmAQAAIAAJ 1902 **Individuals hesitate to grow timber tree plantations on a large scale**. They look for comparatively quick returns, and leave forestry to the State. https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0801867479 Keijiro Otsuka, Frank M.
