Using X-ray densitometry measurements were taken on increment cores sampled in four clonal trials at 10 and 12 years of age from ramets of 19 clones. Wood density of all hybrid crosses was highest at the pith and decreased with increasing cambial age. The significance of the hybrid cross effect increased with age for mean wood density dry fiber weight and ring width. The coefficient of genotypic variation of cumulated mean wood density was rather stable over the 10-year period at all three sites and ranged from . Clonal repeatability increased with age from to mainly because of decreasing random variation. Corresponding genotypic parameters for individual rings varied greatly with age and across sites. Significance of the site effect on wood density tended to decrease with age. Significant negative genotypic correlations between ring width and wood density were found at only two of the four sites and they .
