heart wood is more durable than spring wood why
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years, 4 months ago

Sapwood is the outer light-colored portion of a tree trunk through which the water passes from the roots to the leaves, and in which excess food is often stored. Heartwood is the central core of the trunk. In most woods, the heartwood can be distinguished from the sapwood by its darker colour. Heartwood has a much lower starch content, and the hollow cells are filled with extractives that are sometimes toxic to fungi and insects giving it much higher durability than sapwood. Sapwood is much less durable than heartwood and often has marginally lower structural properties.
