We compared the hydraulic features in wood of Myracrodruon urundeuva trees planted in Experimental Forest Station of Luiz Antônio, the seeds were collected from two natural populations in Ilha Solteira – IS and Pederneiras – PE, three cities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. In a previous study of the same plantation, we observed radial variation differences in vessel diameter and frequency in the main stem between two seed provenances, leading us to hypothesize that this variation could be traced back to the origin of seeds. To test this hypothesis in the present work, branches approximately 2 cm in diameter were collected from ten trees, five from each provenance. We used the standard techniques for wood anatomy. Experimental values of hydraulic conductivity were obtained with the Sperry apparatus. The higher hydraulic conductivity found in IS could be explained by the wider vessel diameter when compared with vessel diameter and higher percentage of embolized vessels in PE. Therefore, it is possible that the characteristics of vessel width and embolization could be related to genotype in that the mother trees in IS may be more adapted to high water deficit. Vessel length did not vary between provenaces, this feature could not be used to explain the variations found in hydraulic conductivity. Our results show that different provenances have different strategies for water use and that the lower density in IS could be related to wider vessel diameter and, hence, more efficient water distribution.
