Abstract

Newly formed sapwood of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is white and normal heartwood is cream to grayish brown. However, most commercial sized aspen trees have considerable sapwood and heartwood which is sound by darkly pigmented (3). These pigments darken groundwood pulp (2), greatly limit the number of veneer-size trees suitable for peeling face-quality sheets, and are also defects in quality matches and in cutstock for furniture.
