The sapwood is the outer layers of the stem that in the living tree contain living cells and reserve materials. The sapwood is generally lighter in colour than the heartwood.
The outer, living portion of a tree's wood. In many species the sapwood is lighter in color than the interior heartwood.
The light colured, living portion of a tree located between the heartwood and the bark.
Sapwood is the “live” outer layer of wood in a tree that lies between the bark and the heartwood. Sapwood is usually lighter in color and gradually becomes heartwood as the tree ages. In some species, like Maple and Ash, the percentage of the lighter sapwood determines the appearance grade.
the softer wood of the tree.
The outer part of the wood of a trunk, in which the sap flows
Wood near the outside of a tree. It is usually lighter in color than heartwood.
The growth section near the outside of the log that is generally paler in color than the center. Unlimited amounts allowed in most wood grades.
Wood just under the bark of a tree. Sapwood is only a few years old. This wood is usually a light color and not as strong or as dense as the heartwood.
Pale-coloured wood near the outside of the log which surrounds the denser, dead heartwood of a tree. Under most conditions the sapwood is more susceptible to decay than heartwood.
the younger, softer, living, or physiologically active outer portion of a tree's wood that lies between the cambium and the heartwood and is more permeable, less durable, and usually lighter in color than the heartwood. The tree's water and nutrient needs are transported within the sapwood.
The outer layers of wood which, in the growing tree, contain living cells and reserve material.
Contains the water/mineral combination (or sap) that delivers the nutrients to the tree that aids in its growth.
The outer portion of a woody stem or log that is different from heartwood by its lighter color. Sapwood is the portion preferred by wood boring insects and most decay fungi.
In a woody plant, the softer part of the wood between the inner bark and the heartwood, and is usually lighter in color and more active in water conduction than the heartwood.
The younger, softer wood in a tree trunk that transports water to the leaves. [KR
The layer of new wood surrounding the denser, dead heartwood of a tree and under the cambium and bark layers.
The living wood of lighter color occurring in the outer portion of a tree. Sometimes referred to as "sap".
The soft wood beneath the inner bark through which the sap flows. Often lighter in color than the central heartwood.
newly formed outer wood lying between the cambium and the heartwood of a tree or woody plant; usually light colored; active in water conduction
The wood lighter coloured wood on the outside of a log, this wood is more susceptable to rot than heartwood.
Wood that is new growth on a tree. Normally it is softer than heartwood.
The soft wood between the inner bark of a tree and the heartwood, serving to conduct water
Wood cut from the portion of a tree between the heartwood and bark.
Newly formed outer layer of wood that is usually lighter than the heartwood.
This is the wood just under the bark of a tree. It is the wood that is alive and growing. It is this layer of wood that transports water and nutrients up the structure of the tree. Sapwood is usually lighter in color than heartwood. It is also much more susceptible to attack by insects.
the living tissue of a woody plant, lying between the bark and the heartwood
The light-colored wood that appears on the outer portion of a cross-section of a tree.
Younger, softer outer portion of the tree trunk, just under the bark.
Layers of secondary xylem that are still functional in older woody plants; visible as the outer lighter areas in the cross section of a tree trunk.
The lighter colored wood growing between the heartwood and bark.
Sapwood contains living cells and performs an active role in the life processes of the tree. The wood closest to the bark of the tree, usually lighter in color than heartwood.
The outer woody layers of the stem or log which, in the growing tree, contain living cells. The sapwood is generally lighter in colour than the heartwood.( BCFT modif.).
The living, softer, and younger outer portion of wood in a tree. Located just underneath the bark.
The outer growth rings which are physiologically active part of a living tree. Sapwood is usually lighter than heartwood, and lacks decay resistance.
The outer layers of growth between the bark and the heartwood which contain the sap.
the outer part of the wood; also called alburnum.
Sapwood appears lighter in color than the heartwood (center of tree).
Outer and youngest layers of secondary xylem in a trunk or stem that function in conduction and storage of water, mineral elements, and carbohydrates.
The wood in the tree that conducts water up the tree stem and may contain some living cells. Sapwood may be lighter in color than heartwood due to the lack of extractives.
The most recently formed layer of wood (not visible). Sapwood is made of thick-walled cells that transport water and minerals through the tree (similar to our circulatory system).
The outer zone of wood in a tree, next to the bark. Sapwood is generally lighter than heartwood.
Outer layers of a stem, which, in a live tree, are composed of living cells and conduct water up the tree
Outer layers of wood which, in a growing tree, contain living cells and reserve materials such as starch. Under most conditions the sapwood is paler in colour and more susceptible to decay than heartwood
The outer zone of wood, next to the bark; in the living tree, it contains some living cells (the heartwood contains none), as well as dead and dying cells; usually lighter in color than the heartwood; generally lacking in decay resistance
Performs the living functions of the tree. Located just below the cambium layer. Generally lighter in color than the heartwood.
the outermost layer of a tree, under the bark, where the sap and nutrients flow in the living tree. Lighter in color and more susceptible to rot and decay than heartwood.
The wood near the outside of the tree which is usually lighter in color than heartwood.
The complex vascular system within a tree through which water and minerals are transported and distributed.
The outer wood in a tree, just beneath the bark in tree trunks. This is the living tissue in a tree.
The outer layer of wood in a tree that is nearest to the bark.
The new wood in a tree that lies between the bark and the Heartwood. Sapwood is usually lighter in color and becomes heartwood as the tree ages. Also see heartwood.
The living wood of pale color near the outside of the log. Under most conditions the sapwood is more susceptible to decay than heartwood.
The live wood portion of a tree encircling the heartwood. Generally it is lighter in color than the heartwood.
Newly formed wood; characterised by the presence of living tissue, which store energy and an absence of plant waste products. Usually light coloured.
Out wood that actively transports water and minerals.
Sapwood is the softer, younger outer portion of a tree that lies between the cambium (formative layer just under the bark) and the heartwood. It is more permeable, less durable and usually lighter in color than the heartwood.
This is the outer portion of the tree. As additional layers of growth accumulate on the outer perimeter, the inner layers of the sapwood become heartwood. Sap is lighter in color and the differentiation in color and thickness of the sap layer varies considerably by species.
Lighter colored wood that is found in the outer part of a tree, next to the bark. It contains living, dead and dying cells and lacks resistance to decay.
Sapwood is the outer layer of wood in a tree and contains living cells. Sap circulates within the sapwood of woody plants.
