In Hungary, large stocks of plantation poplar reached their cutting age. The present paper is a part-time report of the OTKA project on the wettability of Pannónia poplar samples originating from two Hungarian plantations: Győr and Solt. The main question was whether the different sites of origin have a significant influence on the properties of the boards. Samples from the two plantation sites were collected from different trunks, and laboratory samples with tangential cut were prepared by planing. Wettability was measured by sessile drop method, both with distilled water and diiodomethane, using a PGX goniometer. Surface tension was calculated according to the Fowkes method.
