Predictive dormancy occurs when an organism enters a dormant phase before the onset of adverse conditions. For example, photoperiod and decreasing temperature are used by many plants to predict the onset of winter. Consequential dormancy occurs when organisms enter a dormant phase after adverse conditions have arisen. This is commonly found in ...
Note that banana 'trees' are not actually trees; they are not woody nor is the stalk perennial. Magnoliids (together with eudicots they are called broadleaf or hardwood trees) [ edit ]
Woody plants are usually trees, shrubs, or lianas. These are usually perennial plants [3] whose stems and larger roots are reinforced with wood produced from secondary xylem. The main stem, larger branches, and roots of these plants are usually covered by a layer of bark.
There are many different kinds of evergreen plants, including trees, shrubs, and vines.

[2] Live oak, holly, and "ancient" gymnosperms such as cycads; Many woody plants from frost-free climates; Rainforest trees; All ...
Live oak was widely used in early American butt shipbuilding.Because of the trees' short height and low-hanging branches, lumber from live oaks was used in curved parts of the frame, such as knee braces (single-piece, L-shaped braces that spring inward from the side and support the deck), in which the grain runs perpendicular to structural stress, making for exceptional strength.

Different fossil genera have been described to name the various levels of decay in Lepidodendron bark fossils. The name Bergeria describes stems that have lost their epidermises, Aspidiariu is used when cushions have been removed by deep decay, and Knorria is used when the leaf cushions and the majority of cortical tissues has decayed, with a ...
