European beech (Fagus sylvatica) bud. In botany, a bud is an undeveloped or embryonic shoot and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of a stem.Once formed, a bud may remain for some time in a dormant condition, or it may form a shoot immediately.
The bud scales enlarge with the growing shoot, and the innermost become stipules. No terminal bud is formed. No terminal bud is formed. The leaves are alternately arranged on the branchlets, ovate to ovate- lanceolate , often slightly falcate , [ 6 ] 5–12 cm (2– 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) long by 3–9 cm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), [ 7 ] very ...
The buds, forming early and full-grown by midsummer, are all lateral, without a terminal bud forming; the branch is prolonged by the upper lateral bud. The wood of all the species is close-grained with a satiny texture and capable of taking a fine polish; its fuel value is fair.
The bud scales enlarge with the growing shoot and often become leaf-like. Like all viburnums, the leaves are arranged in opposite pairs on the twigs; they are oval, 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long and 2–5 cm ( 3 ⁄ 4 –2 in) broad, wedge-shaped, rounded or subcordate at base, with an acuminate apex and a finely serrated margin, and a winged petiole .
