The sentence "Of course, maple trees have survived for millions of years on Earth, without human beings tapping them for maple syrup and without exploding nonetheless" would have provided [[George Berkeley]] with some sport! <span style="border-left: 1px solid #c30;">[[User:Pablomismo|&nbsp;pablo]]</span><sub style="background-color: #ffc; color: #c30;">[[User talk:Pablomismo|hablo]].</sub> 08:50, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 
== Pressure ==
 
The article states:
 
The root pressure in a maple tree is approximately 0.1MPa, a tenth of one standard atmosphere
 
This is inconsistent.
Standard atmospheric pressure is about 0.1MPa, so the should either be "approximately 0.01MPa, a tenth ..."
or "approximately 0.1MPa, one standard atmosphere".
