On this basis, one needle produced food for about 0.19 mg dry weight of apical growth, 3 mm 3 wood, one-quarter of a new needle, plus an unknown amount of branch wood, bark and roots. The order of priority of photosynthate distribution is probably: first to apical growth and new needle formation, then to buds for the next year's growth, with ...
