Abstract
Sucrose concentration was determined monthly in cambial and phloem tissue of Fagus sylvatica L. from February until October. We found three different stages of sucrose concentration in spring and a relatively high level of sucrose during summer (from June until end of September). The results are interpreted with respect to the developmental stages of a tree during a year and to the dynamics of starch concentration in the bark.Keywords
