Front Describe the ringing experiment.
Back - bark and phloem layers removed from tree
- tissue above ring swells
- high sucrose concentration
- because phloem sugars accumulate above removed ring

- tissue above ring continues to grow
- tissue below ring dies

- Therefore the phloem is responsible for sucrose translocation
