  1. The mean values of a tree were calculated by averaging the values obtained at every three annual ring from 3rd to 12th annual rings from pith. The values in parenthesis followed by mean values are standard deviations. Spacing I, II, and III indicate initial spacing of 1.1 × 1.1 m, 1.3 × 1.36 m, and 2.0 × 1.8 m, respectively
  2. WFL wood fiber length, VEL vessel element length, FWT fiber wall thickness, VD vessel diameter
