Abstract:This paper presents significant findings on the variation in the anatomical properties of Anthocleista grandiflora wood, which could greatly influence its utilization in various products. Cubic-shaped heartwood and sapwood specimens were extracted at the base, middle, and top of boles from 38-, 43-, and 47-year-old trees. The variations in cell morphology and anatomical characteristics were meticulously assessed. The specimens were prepared into 3 mm x 10 mm fragments, macerated, and viewed under a microscope … Show more
