The wood of northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.), considered to be avery high-quality material for processing in the wood industry, has not been tested inSerbia so far. To date, there are only small areas under northern red oak in Serbia, butthere are significant stands of this species in the vicinity of Belgrade. In this paper, thebasic physical and mechanical wood properties of northern red oak in Serbia were tested.The examined 57 years old tree was located in the forest of Lipovica, near Belgrade. Thetree was cut down and two small logs were taken to the laboratory for analysis. The resultsshow that the properties of wood of northern red oak do not differ significantly from theproperties of native oak species in Serbia – sessile and pedunculate oak. In addition, thevalues of basic mechanical properties of wood of northern red oak in Serbia were similarto the relevant values obtained by other researchers in Europe and the USA. Thus, theutilization of wood of northern red oak in the local wood processing industry should beconsidered.
