Conclusion

Eucalyptus bosistoana was investigated at an age of 21 months on a single irrigated nursery site for growth and wood properties (growth-strain, under-bark diameter, density, stiffness, volumetric shrinkage, height and acoustic velocity). Heritabilities for these properties (0.23, 0.57, 0.70, 0.77, 0.39, 0.71, and 0.80) and genetic correlations between them were presented and compared to relevant previous literature. It was found breeding for any of these traits is likely feasible.
