wandering pith

French translation: moelle excentrée

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:wandering pith
French translation:moelle excentrée

English to French translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Forestry / Wood / Timber / wandering
English term or phrase: wandering pith
This is from an article on (the properties (defects) of) pine / pitch wood:
"Breeding for tree growth and form has led to lower incidence of reaction wood, *wandering pith* and knot associated defects"

Whilst I did find the term on one website (and you probably will), I cannot find a valid translation.
"Moelle flottante" "Moelle sinueuse" do not seem to exist.

Merci beaucoup !
