| − | A '''bud''' is a plant organ that is the location of latent [[leaf]], [[flower]], or [[stem]] growth.
| + | ANONYMOUS DOES NOT FORGIVE |
| − | The activation of these buds varies from [[species]] to species. Some buds remain latent for years, only being activated if [[hormone]]s from the dominant stem cease, as a result of damage, disease, or [[pruning]]. Buds can be lateral or terminal - lateral being on the side of existing stems, and terminal being at the tip. Lateral buds that develop promote bushiness, whereas terminal buds are the future sites of increased size of the plant.
