Ron and SD
I knew as soon as I typed "no" that it wasn't absolute. For sure, there is wood that is 'juvenile' in the first several growth rings. That said, I was meaning more of a problem wood, like found in the core of softwoods. 

But on checking, I ran across a paper that was written about a study of juvenile wood in hardwoods and some discussion of what it is and how it reacts. Hope it helps, and I even learned some from it as well.  :)

beenthere, after I typed my post I went back and read yours again and I could see that you didn't mean 'absolute' as well.

Ok, what's next?  Oh...I gotta read your paper. ;)

Pretty much the same information as in the 'Text Book of Wood Technology: 4th Ed.', which was one of the references sited. ;D

Coming back round to the Quandong question, If you're interested, have a look at Jack Mitchell's site Andy and I have done his Weekend Forestry course, and it's fabulous. What Jack doesn't know about Quandongs isn't worth knowing.
