Juvenile Wood and Its Properties

Abstract

Wood based products (especially building sector) are desired homogeneous as much as possible. Juvenile woodwhich occurs at first years of trees growth (approximately 5-20 years) may impair this homogeneous. Becausejuvenile wood show too different in mature wood, which comprise of after juvenile wood (more than 20 years)and have higher strength properties. It’s significant to determine juvenile wood tissue of trees which used forestproduct industrial in Turkey like pines, elm, alder, and beech owing to the poorer mechanical properties thanmature wood. Therefore, unexpected result may appear on wood materials that manufactured in natural juvenileforest or plantation. In this paper is interpreted by study to studies compared physical, chemical, mechanicalproperties of juvenile and mature wood. Thus it is indicated that technologic properties of wood based materialsare affected by tree age as scientific.
