The physical and mechanical properties of Taxodium'zhongshansha 302'and Taxodium distichum were studied.Results show that the basic density,air-dry density,bending strength,modulus of elasticity,and compressive strength parallel to grain of T.'zhongshansha 302' are higher than those of T.distichum,and the oven-dry shrinkage and the air-dry shrinkage in tangential and volume are lower than those of Taxodium distichum,and the differences are all prominent at the 0.05 level.The basic density,air-dry density,be...
