Suresh,
The water travels against gravity up into the heights of the tree, but is
assisted of course by the upward-drawing force of capillary action of the
phloem and xylem tissue(s) of the tree cell structure, the conducting and
supporting tissues of the wood, respectively.
Otherwise, 32 feet high, or about 10 meters high, would be the maximum height
that one could pump water upwards in height, even with a VACUUM at the top end.
The reason is that earth's atmospheric pressure at sea-level will support a
column of water 32 feet high, and no higher.
Hail!
