!!!Harz

Resin (resin tapping): The grooved bark of the Austrian pine (Pinus 
nigra var. austriaca) and the clay pots fastened underneath for 
collecting the resin for a long time dominated the re-afforested pine 
forests of the Steinfeld (Lower Austria) and until after the war 
supplied a part of the population, the so-called "Pecher" (pitchers), 
with an extra income (Gutenstein woodland farmers´ museum). In 
Alpine regions resin was also extracted by tapping larch trees and 
injuring the bark of spruce trees.
