Abstract

The black locust tree is a plantation-grown species that occupies a large area in Hungary. Due to variations in the growth environment of trees across different locations, the anatomical features of wood may differ. This study investigated the variability in fiber properties (fiber length, width, wall thickness, vessel length, and width) and growth rate of Robinia pseudoacacia L. from five counties and in three specific growing conditions. The parameters were investigated based on a sample of discs taken from the trees at breast height. The statistical analysis revealed significant differences in wood fiber and vessel dimensions, as well as ring width, between counties and growth conditions. Nearly all examined parameters showed the lowest values in Bács-Kiskun County, whereas the highest values were observed in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg and Vas. Regarding the growth conditions, wood in poor growth conditions (mixed trees) and good growth conditions produced superior wood fiber properties and ring widths.
