The minerals and water are moved up by capillary action. There are basically many small tubes running up and down the tree. The surface tension of the liquid(s) moves them up the tubes, and so up the plant.

How do Leguminous plants get minerals?
Through their roots. They soak up water in the soil, and while they are getting their water, the nutrients in the soil get carried up into the plant itself through the water. In other words, the nutrients in the soil get mixed into the water, get soaked up into the roots of the plant, which distribute the nutrient-infested (for lack of a better word) water through the whole plant.
