Narrow-sense heritabilities of the wood properties of two-year-old Eucalyptus bosistoana were estimated from 623 stems. Heritability estimates for growth-strain (0.63), density (0.54), diameter (0.76), volumetric shrinkage (0.29), acoustic velocity (0.97) and stiffness (0.82) are presented. A modified version of the splitting test for detecting growth-strain is described. 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. Correlations between wood properties are presented and discussed, as well as trade-offs when shifting trait means by selective breeding.
