Peter,
Supposedly. I went looking for good, meaty information of behavior of
capillary action, and possibly information with which to predict it (I
found neither), but what I did find is that now the universal favorite
classroom demostration of the phenomenon of capillary action is to place a
stalk of celery in a bowl of colored water and watch the color rise in the
stalk. Tree, celery, close enough?
Cheers,
Harry
