hardwood tree has no growth rings?
By Chelsie Vandaveer


The chicozapote (Manilkara zapota (L.) van Royen) is an economic tree
supplying fruit called sapodilla, latex called chicle, and hardwood
lumber. The trees grow to about 45 meters (145 feet) within the
rainforest. Cultivation within a plantation setting results in trees
seldom over 10 meters (32 feet). For the fruit, sapodilla, smaller trees
work well. The small trees, though, cannot be tapped for chicle. Chicle
collection has remained an industry of the rainforest.
The bark of the chicozapote is gray to brown, older trees are deeply
fissured and most bear the zigzag scars of chicle tapping.

Immediately below the bark, the cambium is pink, although a few are
white. In chicle collection terms, the cambium is called the 'slash'.
The chicleros slash into the cambium and, hopefully, not through it.
Chicozapote wood is strong, yet pliable. The trees are highly
resistant to hurricane damage. The root system appears to play little in
hurricane resistance. In "Sapodilla: A Potential Crop for Subtropical
Climates", Michael Mickelbart states: "a shallow-rooted tree, with more
than 80 percent of the roots located within the top 75 cm of soil,
concentrated within an area half the width of the canopy."
