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)
