Growth of a Squash Demonstrates Plant Lifting Power
Accounts from a Massachusetts Agricultural College experiment describe a large squash grown in a controlled box pushing against its harness and lifting loads. The report notes the plant’s sap and vines enabling vertical force, with measurements showing the plant lifting water and pressuring its surroundings. It discusses broader questions on tree growth and wood formation, and mentions Reverend Exwyhn How of the Western church in passing.
