Walipini The interior of a walipini. A walipini is an earth-sheltered cold frame. [1] [2] [3] It derives its name from the Aymaran languages. [4]It is similar in concept to the pineapple pit that was used, as the name implies, to cultivate pineapple and other exotic fruits in Victorian era Britain and in the cold plains of pre-revolution Russia.
Crown sprouting is the ability of a plant to regenerate its shoot system after destruction (usually by fire) by activating dormant vegetative structures to produce regrowth from the root crown (the junction between the root and shoot portions of a plant). [1] These dormant structures take the form of lignotubers or basal epicormic buds.
A pineapple pit requires a huge amount of fresh manure, and manual labour to maintain the temperature of the central trench. [6] The introduction of steam ships meant that the pineapple pit became obsolete, as it was cheaper to transport fruit from overseas than to grow them under special conditions in the UK. In 2012 the cost of growing a ...

The crown of a woody plant (tree, shrub, liana) is the branches, leaves, and reproductive structures extending from the trunk or main stems. Shapes of crowns are highly variable. The major types for trees are the excurrent branching habit resulting in conoid shapes and decurrent (deliquescent) branching habit, resulting in round shapes.
The crown is usually conical with a straight trunk. It reaches heights of 8–24 meters (26–79 feet), [5] but can be a shrub on especially poor sites. The bark is thin and smooth, flaky and gray-brown when young, becoming dark [4] gray-red-brown and shallowly furrowed into flat scaly ridges in age. The twigs are red-brown and often resinous.
Crown cover is the proportion of a stand covered by the crowns of live trees. A forest stand can have a crown cover of 100% and a crown closure less than 100%. Typical stands with 100% cover but low closure are coffee agroforestry stands, where overlapping parasol-shaped crowns ensure complete cover but still allow light to penetrate at an ...
