The was studied on some technological properties wood of Shemari (Arbutus pavarii pamp). The study included estimating specific gravity, fiber length and rate of shrinkage for the wood of six tree developing in two different locations, the first at a height of 394 m and the second 667 m in the Jabal Al-Akhdar region, Libya. The results concluded the of Alshamari wood was located among the high-density species, where the specific gravity values ranged from 0.68-0.79 at heights (394-667m) respectively, With no significant differences of specific gravity values between trees in the two sites. On the other hand, values of fiber length ranged between 1.262- 1.523 mm for the height 667-394 m, respectively. The results also showed statistically significant differences in moisture content values between the two sites, where it was 33.68- 51.16% for the two heights 394 m-667 m, respectively, and also the values of volumetric shrinkage of wood differed significantly, as they were 24.75%, at 394 m, and 21.32%, at 667 m.
