-This study compares the efficiency of 3 indirect techniques that evaluate Young's modulus all along the sawing leading to the production of normalised specimens of hybrid larch trees from a clonal test. Ultrasonic speed is demonstrated as an interesting method for clone classification regarding Young's modulus in a clonal selection programme, whatever the sawing stage. However, the quality of results is reduced with standing tree measurements. The use of both the Pilodyn and resonance frequency measures is confirmed as a possibility.
