Abstract
Thirty-one, 14-year-old, full-sibling loblolly pines from a seed orcha rd were tested for physical and mechanical properties. The variability of the full-sib samples was compared to that of 15-year-old, half-sib ling loblolly from the same site. The variability of the full-sibs was essentially the same as the half-sibs for most measured properties. S hrinkage from green to ovendry was greater for the full-sib specimens.
