Through vessels and capillaries just like in animals. Xylem and phloem flow up and down the tree, respectively, and carry the nutrients and moisture from the roots and up the stems.

This is due to a process called 'capillary action'. You can get a lot of information on this by typing 'capillary action' in Yahoo Search.
