What is Understanding Wood: Growth and Knots about?

Wood is formed through secondary growth between the bark and existing wood of trees. Growth rings form from seasonal growth patterns and contain earlywood and latewood. Knots occur at branch attachment points and weaken wood by disrupting the grain direction. Heartwood forms in the tree center and becomes resistant to decay while sapwood on the outside conducts water.
