The occurrence of tension wood is a common phenomenon in rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis). Several studies on rubberwood, both locally and abroad, indicate that the presence of tension wood in rubberwood may be serious (Lim 1985, Rao & Hermavathi 1989). Thus, a knowledge of tension wood is necessary as tension wood affects the ultimate utilisation of the timber.
