| Abstract: | Abstract Further observations on the variability of the secondary wood of PRUNUS PERSICA Stokes. — The length of both fibres and vessel members and the age of cambium in the trunk of a wild specimen of Prunus persica are positively correlated; no relation exists between the length of the above mentioned elements and the width of growth layers. The relation between the intrasive growth of fibres and either age of cambium or width of growth layers has been also calculated but no significant relation has been attained. The results have been compared with those obtained in the previous study of a trunk of a grafted Prunus persica, which are very different and quite peculiar mainly as to a decrease in length of fibres and vessel members with aging of cambium. The growing practice to which the tree may have been subjected is regarded as the possible cause of this peculiarity. |
