Austrian pine is a coniferous wood species. Sapwood colour is yellowish-white. Pit formation, depending on the site, starts rather late. Heartwood colour is reddish-brown. The colour difference between sapwood and heartwood is more marked in the lower parts than in the upper parts of the stem, depending on the presence of resin. Austrian pine wood is used for the manufacture of veneer and sawn timber. Thanks to its durability, Austrian pine wood is especially evaluated in civil engineering, in the manufacture of windows, doors, roof constructions, floors and other products exposed to changeable atmospheric impacts. In the Republic of Serbia, there are significant amounts of pine wood in natural stands, but also in artificially established stands. This paper presents the study results of Austrian pine wood properties in natural stands. The data were taken from a tree on Mt. Zlatibor. The changes of physical properties are analysed depending on tree height. Mechanical properties were analysed on the stem part between the heights of 1.3 and 3.3 m. The study results are systematised and presented in Tables, with the corresponding statistical indicators. The obtained data are presented by cross sections and cumulatively. This paper also presents the comparative analysis of the study results and the data from other localities.
