\section{Results} \section{Results and Discusion}  While the study was larger than preceding attempts, the sample number was still small when considering heritability calculations. The lack of date resulted in wide 95\% credable intervals, which require more samples to tighten. The heritabilites indicate that growth strain can be influenced by breeding. ---discuss GS hertiablilty with respect to teak and dunnii-- Density, diameter at age 2 (growth), acustic velocity and stiffness all have significant heritablities that breeding for values of these traits is achivable, as has been reported for other species --refs--. Volumetric shrinkage has lower heritability, --contrast to other studies?-- sugesting it may require intence selection or other technologies to become managable.
