The paper presents the results of research on the charring rate of 9 types of wood found in Poland, including spruce, pine, birch, beech, ash, poplar, oak, maple and robinia. Reference was made to the abundance of Polish forests, taking into account the division into individual botanical species, confirming their suitability for use in construction due to the charring rate. Taking into account Poland's forest resources and behaviour during a fire, the best prognosis is the use of pine wood in single-species CLT-type constructions. In the case of solutions combining different species in CLT elements, it is worth considering the use of robinia or oak in the outer layers, the charring rates of which are the lowest among those tested in the work.
