Lots of things in the plant kingdom sound like they come straight out of a fairy tale.
Or is it the other way around?

Thanks alot -
mu!!! I'm happily suprised someone knows and replies.
Funny how people use language.
So basically
'Terminal shoot meristems also die giving rise to a witch's broom.'
means :
'If the main shoot gets capped, you get a lot of side growth.'
We could put this one on a fortune cookie!
