part of a tree

 

• The different parts of a tree are the trunks, bark, crown, roots and leaves. The crown is the top of the tree and I think you know wha

• t the leaves, bark, trunks and roots look like so there's no need to explain what they are.

• These are the different parts of a trunk. The cambium of the trunk is the growth layer of the tree; it is also what makes the trunk, branches and roots grow thicker. The pith is where all of the water and nutrients go up collected from the roots to help the tree to grow.

• Plain sawn, rift sawn and quarter sawn are the three most common ways to cut trees into timber but there are also other ways.

• Trees get cut down and then chopped up by a machine called a timber lorry they cut the trees three ways (shown in question above) they then get taken to a timber mill to get cut to its required length.

• Defects in timber can be a various amount of things so i'm going to list them below

• Wind cracks

• Shakes

• Twisted fibres

• Upsets

• Rind galls

• Burls

• Water stain

• Chemical stain

• knotting

• There are a ton of different trees used to make timber in New Zealand so i'm just going to list a few which are: Rimu, Kauri, Monterey Cyprus, Matai, Rewarewa. Another name for Kauri is Tane Mahuta which is the maori god of the forest. The tree got named this because it is really strong and the biggest type of tree in New Zealand.
