Abstract

An experiment was conducted to observe the safranine flow depth in longitudinal direction of Populus tomentiglandulosa. Longitudinal flow of safranine was considered from bottom to top end of the tree. Vessel and wood fiber were considered for the measurement of safranine flow depth. It was found that sapwood conducted safranine 12.25% higher in longitudinal direction compared with heartwood. Vessel was found the main avenue for safranine flow. Vessel conducted safranine 41.94% higher than that of wood fiber. Safranine penetrated through vessel and fiber forming a curved meniscus.
