Hello Scientific community,

I'm looking for a method for xylem sap extraction from roots and branches of European Beech. During early growth period I was able to get it by using vacuum. Now it's quite difficult (if not impossible) due to the transpiration rate.

Could you suggest some methods to overcome this issue? I need ca. 250 ml of sap for the analysis.

Thank you in advance!
