Comparison of First-year Wood Fibers among Different Poplar Clones

The objectives of this study were: 1. To determine the amount of variation in the wood fiber lengths among seventy-two one-year-old poplar clones that were grown in a similar environment; 2. To look for the relationship between fiber length and diameter of the stem inside the bark; 3. To look for the relationship between fiber lengths of genetically related clones; and 4. To identify those clones that inherently have the longest fibers and those that inherently have the shortest fibers.
