Sandalwood in New Caledonia [Santalum austrocaledonicum]. [Symposium paper]

1993

Cherrier, J-F. (Centre Technique Forestier Tropical (New Caledonia))

Results of research on wood formation in Santalum austrocaledonicum in New Caledonia are discussed. There is high variability of heartwood content at any tree size. Trees also reach maturity at different heights and diameters, making predictive models of limited value. The best correlation of yield of heartwood is with sapwood width. The latter is positively correlated with recent growth rate. Sapwood is at a minimum and the proportion of heartwood is highest when the tree matures and growth rate is reduced. It is concluded that the management of sandalwood to maximise heartwood production is complex.
