The paper is a review and overlap of my different papers about the watering of trees as a mathematical development of my paper in The Journal of Theoretical Biology. These results are presented together with new researches: transfer of liquid water and vapour between xylem microtubes, an explanation of ultrasounds generated in the watering network considered as sound pipes, numerical calculations of flows in thin liquid films and of Poiseuille flows in xylem microtubes, an estimation of the velocity for the ascent of crude sap and of the recovery time of trees during the spring period.
