Dear authors

thanks for the detailed reply to the referees their reviews. I am pleased to inform you the paper is accepted. The dissemination of all your data and the detail description of the methods you used are to be applauded.
However, the paper is quite long and Ref #1 suggested bringing some of the detailed aspects of the more standard methods of sap flow measurements and calculations to an appendix (Supplement). In your reply you ask my decision and I agree with Ref #1. I fully understand you want to have these details available for all readers, but I also feel they are not necessary in the main paper.
Therefor I ask you to resubmit the paper reducing the length of the method section by bringing 2.4-2.6 and 2.7 to an appendix/supplement.

I look forward to the revised paper in due time.

Kind regards
Thom Bogaard
