Measurements are in for today: I shrunk 0.055 mm and transported 2.64 l of water! That is a huge difference with yesterday: 3 l more (2293%). Looks like my diameter is starting to shrink. Yesterday I was still growing.


Currently my diameter is 58.4 cm and my sap flow rate is 0.03 l/h (at 10:00).


Measurements are in for today: I grew 0.195 mm and transported 1.74 l of water! That is more or less the same sap flow as yesterday. My growth was less than yesterday: 28 µm to be precise.


Measurements are in for today: I grew 0.223 mm and transported 2.88 l of water! That is about the same sap flow as yesterday. After the shrinkage of yesterday, my diameter is increasing again.


I shrunk 0.538 mm and transported 1.89 l of water today! Quite similar to yesterday. No more growth today, my diameter is starting to shrink.


I grew 0.086 mm and transported 2.45 l of water today! That is more or less the same sap flow as yesterday. After the shrinkage of yesterday, my diameter is increasing again.


Today I shrunk 0.552 mm and transported 2.19 l of water! That is more or less the same sap flow as yesterday. Looks like my diameter is starting to shrink. Yesterday I was still growing.


This was my day: I grew 0.543 mm and transported 2.19 l of water! That is more or less the same sap flow as yesterday. Looks like my diameter is increasing again, after the shrinkage of yesterday.


At the moment my diameter is 58.3 cm and I'm transporting water at 0.07 l/h (at 13:00).


I shrunk 0.152 mm and sent 3.84 l of water to the leaves today! That is more or less the same sap flow as yesterday. I shrank much more than yesterday: 118 µm more to be precise.


At the moment my diameter is 58.4 cm and I'm transporting water at 0.23 l/h (at 15:00).


Today I shrunk 0.034 mm and transported 3.33 l of water! That is more or less the same sap flow as yesterday. Looks like my diameter is starting to shrink. Yesterday I was still growing.


Today I grew 0.016 mm and transported 3.77 l of water! Quite similar to yesterday. My growth was less than yesterday: 27 µm to be precise.
