2. Identify the branch bark ridge (raised strip of bark at the top of the branch union or crotch that sits above the branch itself connecting to the trunk of the plant. 3. Mark a point outside both the branch bark ridge and the branch collar, mark a line angling down away following the angle of the branch collar. 4.
A common malformation of a branch attachment in a tree is the inclusion of bark within the join, commonly referred to as a 'bark inclusion' or 'included bark'. This malformation is known to weaken the connection of the branch to the rest of the tree's structure, as it acts to block the formation of the axillary wood at the branch attachment's apex.
Branching, with branches having unequal diameters, such as a trunk and its branch. Contrast isotomic. annual A plant that completes its life cycle (i.e. germinates, reproduces, and dies) within a single year or growing season. annulus 1. A ring-like structure; in the form of a ring.
The bark of Pinus thunbergii is made up of countless shiny layers. Bark is the outermost layer of stems and roots of woody plants. Plants with bark include trees, woody vines, and shrubs. Bark refers to all the tissues outside the vascular cambium and is a nontechnical term. [1] It overlays the wood and consists of the inner bark and the outer ...
Antheridiophore – a specialised branch that bears the antheridia in the Marchantiales. Antherozoid – Archegoniophore – a specialised branch that bears the archaegonia in the Marchantiales. Autoicous – produces male and female sex organs on the same plant but on separate inflorescences. Bract – leaf is present below the flower.
In general, the smaller the branch that is cut, the easier it is for a woody plant to compartmentalize the wound and thus limit the potential for pathogen intrusion and decay. It is therefore preferable to make any necessary formative structural pruning cuts to young plants, rather than removing large, poorly placed branches from mature plants.

A tree fork is a bifurcation in the trunk of a tree giving rise to two roughly equal diameter branches. These forks are a common feature of tree crowns. The wood grain orientation at the top of a tree fork is such that the wood's grain pattern most often interlocks to provide sufficient mechanical support.
