Abstract
The decay resistance of China-fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) was evaluated in several tests using white- and brown-rot fungi in an American Wood Preservers' Association soil-block test. Although there was some variation in weight loss among boards, China-fir heartwood was found to be similar in decay resistance to western redcedar (Thuja plicata) and should be classified as highly decay resistant.
