A friend of mine and I have just finished reading Niven's "Integral
Trees" and we have a couple of questions. First, why wasn't the
whole length of the tree covered with foilage instead of just the
two tufts at the ends? Does it have anything to do with the winds?
And also, if the trees radiated out away from the star like spokes,
why was the gravity at the tufts the same and stronger than that at
the middle of the tree. I know there was some discussion of this
book when it came out in hardback, so if I am covering old ground I
am sorry.
