1) Growth mode - Defined - Colonial, rhythmic - Sympodial (mono, di and polychasial and modulated) - Organ preformation | 2) Branching mode - Terminal and median (acrotone and mesotone on modules) - Rhythmic - Delayed or proleptic (without hypopodium, the terminal meristem dies, the relay bud(s) are delayed) |
3) Differentiation of axes - Rapid slowing of meristematic activity and death of the terminal bud in the short term - Orthotropic-like trunk (pseudomonopod) - Most axes (branches) are plagiotropic and ageotropic | 4) Sexuality position - Terminal and lateral (synchronised) |
