Look Out Botanigtsl Sayr Sap Does Not Flow up in a Tree Trunlc

A common sense answer to the theories about the upward flow of sap in trees, appears in the July issue of Coronet. It will come as a shock to many to hear now that sap doesn't flow up our trees, but that vapor goes up and condenses and comes down as sap. These pseudo scientific jottings by one John Cullen who has made tests to prove his contentions are interesting to all lumbermen. "Water will no more run up a tree trunk than any other incline," he says. "The tree in the springtime is very much like the steam heating plant. Heat from the sun generates vapor at the base of the tree. The vapor ascends the tree trunk. When the sun sets, the atmosphere about the tree becomes cool. The vapor within the tree condenses and the liquid flows toward the base of the tree. This explains the more abundant flow of sap during the night."

a cut limb in glass, at once stopping the apparent flow of liquid,'suggesting condensation rather than liquid flow. Also separating ends of branches and keeping them apart by means of a glass tube. No liquid ever passed through the tube, but beads of liquid when in cold temperatures condensed on the inside of the glass. There was more liquid in the beads of condensation than could be carried in the air within the tube, even at the saturation point. Onions were grown one-half inch in eight hours with sprouts cut and inserted in opposite ends of a glass tube. No liquid passed from bulb to sprout. Also when a tree is tapped in tr,vo places, one above the other, sap will florv from the tap farthest from the ground. By Joseph Cullen, another old myth seems to be exploded.
