Debbie, Are you using "pine trees" in the generic sense? We have lots of spruces around us but no pines. Would any evergreen work?
Being from the South, I have taken fatwood for granted and didn't question what kind of pines until a friend in NC said they have the wrong pines for fatwood, so I looked it up; it's from resinous trees, especially Long Leaf Pine. I would imagine you'd have to research your native trees to find out if they are resinous.
Our fatwood, when gotten from the stump, smells strongly like Pinesol. It's amazing.
