Narrow sense heritabilities of the wood properties of two year old \textit{Eucalyptus bosistoana} were estimated from --- 623  stems. Heritability of growth-strain (0.63), density (--), (0.54),  diameter (--), (0.76),  Volumetiric Schrinkage (--), (0.29),  Acustic Velocity (--) (0.97)  and stiffness (--) (0.82)  are presented. A modified version of the splitting test for detecting growth-strain is presented. The modified rapid testing procedure results in left-censored growth-strain data, a Bayesian approach is implemented to reduce errors associated with censored data sets. Corrolations between wood properties are presented and discussed.
