PRODUCTION POTENTIAL AND WOOD QUALITY OF DOUGLAS FIR FROM SELECTED SITES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Original language description
This study deals with production and wood quality of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (MIRBEL) FRANCO). The growth of Douglas fir was compared with the growth of Norway spruce under the conditions of the School Forest Enterprise at Kostelec nad Černýmilesy. The diameter, height, volume of the mean tree and the volume stock per hectare were used as the input for the model growth assessment. Douglas fir achieved considerably higher values than Norway spruce in all the indicators. The volume of the meantree of Douglas fir was almost three times that of the spruce, and the volume stock of Douglas fir was more than 35 % greater. Wood density, shrinkage, compression strength, bending strength, impact strength and hardness were tested on representative sample trees to evaluate the wood quality. Douglas fir wood quality was comparable to its native habitat. Compared to the native commercial softwoods, Douglas fir wood was similar to that of Norway spruce or Scots pine.
