Notes:
Summary The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of oven-dry density, initial moisture content, vascular bundles and shrinkage to stem height and diameter of Cocos nucifera L. High correlations were obtained between initial moisture content and stem height, initial moisture content and oven-dry density, oven-dry density and stem height, vascular bundles per cm2 and stem height, vascular bundles and oven-dry density for cross-sections and shrinkage and vascular bundles per cm2. The high correlations between vascular bundles per cm2 and oven-dry density on the one hand and to shrinkage on the other can be used for visual grading of coconut timber.
