Where does tree sap come from?

Answer 1

during the time of year that the ree has leaves, the process of photosynthesis produces glucose which is then transported to the roots for storage. in the spring when the days are warmer than 40 F. the glucose mixed with water rises in the Phloem (which is the inner bark tissue specifically for transporting food, aka, sap.) to the buds on the branches. the sap nurishes the cells in the meristem tissue causeing the tree to start to grow new leaves and to start the growing season. once inthe swing of grouning season the roots take up water and minerals, send it up to the leaves through the xylem(which is what makes up wood, only the very outer layer is working). that water is used to make more glucose through photo synthesis, to be stored and turned into sap the next spring.

clear as mud?

Answer 2

It is frozen in the roots and when the heat of the day comes, it travels to the buds. When a tree is tapped, or damaged the sap leaks from the tree. Sap runs when there is cold nights and warm days, much like we are experiencing in the mid west. You can always tell when the sap is running when the limbs that hang over the street and get snapped by large vehicles and then leak sap on an otherwise dry road.

Answer 3

Trees absorb water and nutrients through their roots. The liquid rises through special cells just under the bark (called the xylem) to the branches and leaves, where it provides food for growth.

Cutting into the tree just under the bark will release the sap. In the case of some maple trees, the sap is sweet and edible.

Aw, crud, now I want pancakes. Is IHOP open this time of night?

Answer 4

Trees. The insides of the tree, that is. I feel it neccessary to point out to you that the sap comes from the inside of the tree. It doesn't come from plastic trees either. The kind of tree that tree sap comes from has to be a real tree. The kind that is in the ground.

Apparently some family trees have at least one sap in them.

Answer 5

Tree sap comes from a tree.

Answer 6

Trees and plants have mechanical as well as conducting tissues.
The conduction tissues are also known as Complex Tissues named as Xylem and Phloem.
Xylem- It is reponsible for transport of water and dissolved minerals alongwith nutrients, across the plant body .
Phloem- It helps in the trransportation of food manufactured by the plants to the roots and different parts of the plant.
So when you cut tree or a plant the sap seen is usually the exudate ( Water + Minerals and nutrients) oozing out of the Xylem.

Answer 7

phloem

Answer 8

The tree produces it from the nutrients it absorbs from sunlight and the earth.

Answer 9

It comes from out of the branches.

Answer 10

the capillaries of trees. like veins.
