Da Vinci's mischief: xylem conduits in the stems of woody plants do not furcate

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3001-3013, June 2026.
Summary The hydraulic architecture of plants is often modeled as a ‘furcating’ network, in which xylem conduits proliferate in number toward the stem apex, analogous to animal circulatory systems. Yet whether furcation actually occurs within woody stems remains untested, despite major implications for carbon costs and hydraulic efficiency.
