Variation of wood properties and wood quality
• Caesalpinia platyloba („Chacte – viga“) and Cordia dodecandra
(„Siricote“) are two native tree species in Mexico. Both are not used
for plantations.
• valuable tree species producing wood with good characteristics and
properties;
• wood is currently used in building constructions, railway sleepers,
high quality furniture and handcrafts;
• the wood of both species shows a good possibility for the export to
the global market (especially Europe);

Objectives
Wood samples from different provenances (site conditions);
Forest inventory data are available
Investigations into: heartwood portion
heartwood colour
wood anatomy
physical properties (density, shrinkage)
mechanical properties (bending, hardness)
natural durability
