Sapwood risk to rot in modern lumber stands
Forest pathologists of the U S department of agriculture warn sapwood rots more readily than heartwood. Second growth stands, now relied on for lumber, contain more sapwood than older growth, increasing vulnerability in buildings without basements. Heartwood from young trees or central old trees may also be attacked.
