latewood

[′lāt‚wu̇d]

(botany)

The portion of the annual ring that is formed after formation of earlywood has ceased.

summerwood

Wood which is formed during the later part of the growing season; characterized by compact, thick-walled cells; denser than spring wood.

Additionally, physically and chemically such wood presents lower density (BAO et al., 2001; KRETSCHMANN, 2008), lower moisture content (KRETSCHMANN, 2008), lower percentage of latewood, lower cellulose content, higher lignin content, higher longitudinal shrinkage, thinner cell walls (KRETSCHMANN, 1998) and lower natural durability (DUNISCH et al., 2010).
