Tree Sap

Posted: Mar 8, 2022 by: Tara (Tara) on: Forest Blog

Sticky and golden, sap moves through trees to circulate water and nutrients, much like blood in our veins.

Pine trees, being evergreen, produce sap all year round but it flows strongest in spring and summer.

Special vascular tissues called the xylem and phloem transport it around the tree.

Sap brings nutrients absorbed from the soil by the roots up and food produced by the leaves down.
