Can we pass an electric current through tree or plants

  The flow of electrons in one direction is called electricity The sap of the live tree consists  primarily of water, in addition to sugar, hormones, and mineral elements dissolved within  it. Water is an excellent conductor of Electricity , As a result, The tree is not a Insulator, but a poor conductor of Electricity. The live tree can Conduct electricity. This source suggests a typical conductivity of living tree sap is 0.01 S/m with a relative permittivity of 80 . As the Sap is touched to the ground through roots of the plants. The electricity conducted through the Leaves or Sap directly gets into the Ground.
