Trying to Calculate Resilient Modulus of Wood from data

I am trying to see if it's possible to find the Resilient Modulus of wood from the data given on wood-database. (for example -
It gives the Elastic Modulus and the Modulus of Rupture (Flexural Strength), and my understanding the only value I need is the Yield Strength and Young's Modulus (MOE) to get the Resilience.

Modulus of Resilience = Yield Strength^2/(2*Young's Modulus)

However, it doesn't give me the Yield Strength. Is it possible to get that from the data given, or am I left with the option of doing these tests myself? I'm hoping there's a way to find it without having to do that.
