- the clearly defined single dominant stem at the top of the

- cone bearing
- having been grown from propagation in a container
(i.e. fully rooted)
- having been transferred at some stage of development
for
purposes of sale, transport or decorative effect (i.e.
not
fully rooted in the pot)
- (of a tree) all that part of a tree above the lowest branch
- (of a herbaceous plant) the base of a herbaceous

fresh
shoots and roots arise
- sheds its leaves each year at the end of the period of
growth
- divided into many narrow segments
- a state of greatly reduced metabolism in which a plant or
part of a plant is alive but not growing
- flowers with more than the usual number of petals, often
with other floral parts changed to petals
- having leaves all the year round
- with branches erect and close together
- with the main stem retaining side branches (as opposed
to
a clear stem)
- having been established and grown in the open and not
grown in a container or frame
- produced by obtaining a union between a shoot (the
