Chapter 35, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether a tree grows to a height of 150 m (488 ft).
Introduction: Water is the most crucial factor for a plant to perform its normal cellular functions. Plants have developed an effective way for absorption, translocation, storage, and utilization of water. There is a vascular system in plants that conducts transportation of water in plants.

Why is a tree dying
Why do trees grow and stop at different heights? For example an American Beech tree grows to a height of 50-70 feet but the Coastal Redwood grows to a height of 380 feet. Why is there such a big difference in growth and what makes the tree not grow forever?
What are the limits to tree height and why?
