Zmienność wybranych cech morfologicznej budowy drzew daglezji zielonej (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. viridis Franco) w Polsce

This paper presents the results of investigation into the variability of selected features of morphological structure of Douglas fir trees in Poland. The research was carried out in 28 Douglas fir stands, which were at least 80 years old. The mean values of studied features amounted: diameter at breast height — 54.8 cm, height — 32.4 m, bark thickness — 3.9 cm, crown length — 13.6 m, relative crown length — 41.6% and crown width — 5.4 m. The significant variability of studied features was stated, especially large diversity bark thickness and crown width was revealed. Four regions were distinguished in Poland. These regions were characterized by some distinction of the studied features.
