Radial (pith-to-bark) wood samples from Ochroma pyramidale sampled at breast height and at subsequent five meter height intervals were analyzed to determine basic specific gravity. Specific gravity increased linearly with radial distance at any given height. In multiple regressions both radial distance and height proved to be equally important independent variables in explaining variation in specific gravity. However, when radial distance was measured centripetally (bark-to-pith) rather than centrifugally (pith-to-bark), the importance of height diminished drastically.
