Examples of the cambium and zone of enlarging xylem from thinned and unthinned plots in September 2011 and February 2012. The phloem is on the right side of each image. The image bars indicate 100 μm. Double sided arrows show the estimated widths of the cambial zone in which cells are still likely to be meristematic. Note the wide cambial zone and evidence of cambial activity evident in a typical tree in the thinned treatment (one-sided arrow indicates a newly formed cell wall/plate) in February which was not the case in any of the trees in the unthinned treatment at the site
