Abstract
Physical and mechanical properties and anatomy of metasequoia wood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu et Cheng). Metasequoia glyptostroboides is the only species of the metasequoia genus preserved to our day. It produces coarse wood with a very small share of late wood. This is a wood of evenly coloured heartwood and sapwood narrow zone. In its annual rings dominate thin coils of the early wood, what results in a low density. It also has a low shrinkage, but unfortunately also low strength parameters. Because of its rapid growth metasequoia has potential to be grown on plantations and be used for the production of wood- based materials. Keywords:
