Quercus leucotrichophora is an important tree species in Himalayn region and widely used for fodder and wood for agricultural implements or directly as pole. Due to over pressure of lopping we rarely find in straight of clean bole good height both in forest and in agricultural fields. Further its wood considered to hard and have interlinked fibers which reduce its wood working. But other parts of Globe Qurecus species are used for timber e. g.Q. alba. Can this tree with improvement programme and good silvicultural practices be grown as good timber to get straight bole knot free logs.
Quercus is timber line species in temperate region. it has clear bole and important merchantable species in temperate region. Research shows that if we will used plus tree selection in natural stand of this species then we can use it as timber.
Thanks Hamit and Mohit. I interested literature on wood quality aspects of Q. leucotrocophora specially for wood workability.
Quercus is important timber species in temperate region having high merchantable value but difficult to seasoning, though it can be treated and seasoned with care to improve workability.
Thanks H. Kumar. what about wood work ability of the species.
