Genetic Parameters and Uniformity of Wood Properties of Full-Sib Families and Clones

In this study, we are analyzing wood properties from a 10 year-old field trial. The trial consists of full-sib seedlings and rooted cuttings (clones) from a factorial mating of 6 parents planted on two sites. This paper reports results from analysis of wood specific gravity on one of the two sites. The Monroe County, AL site is located in the upper coastal plain and is of old field origin.
