Joost thinks laterally about how he can use different materials to give a contemporary edge to his work. They can be subtle and simple, such as Japonicas in test tubes, or dramatic and moody like the Heliconias and peach buds.
(Gr. phyllon, leaf; eidos, form) a winged petiole with flattened surfaces placed laterally to the stem and functioning as a leaf.phyllotaxy search for term- n. (L. phyllo-, and Gr. taxis, arrangement) the arrangement of the leaves on the stem.
Any time that the tip growth is removed, the plant's energy will be diverted to the lateral side growth, creating a much bushier plant.
Coleus are very durable, so you can cut your plant back severely if needed (almost back to the soil level).
The rising shoots, intended to form young wood should be taken as near the origin of the branch as a good one offers, to allow of cutting away, beyond the adopted lateral, a greater quantity of the branch, as it becomes old wood; ...
(tulip), and versatile if it is lateral, near the center of the anther as in Crinum spp. (crinum).
Anther - lobed, oblong, bag-like appendage at the top of the filament which produces the pollen grains which develop the male germ cells.
Tie the middle shoot to the cane, and train the other two laterally along the bottom wire. When the upright shoot reaches the second wire repeat the process until all the wires are occupied.
You want to form something of an equilateral triangle, and the deeper the bowl, the more you need to make sure the triangle sides truly are equal in length.
Climbers should have their laterals cut back to three or four eyes and any new canes breaking from the base should be eliminated (unless you want to develop a new cane). Species roses (and most shrubs) should be tip pruned each fall.
A strongly growing tree can carry more fruit, therefore perhaps half of the laterals could be shortened and half left untouched. On a weaker tree, which tends to form fruit buds at the expense of new growth, 2 in 3 of the laterals may be pruned.
For the first three years until fruiting begins, the aim of pruning is to develop the shape by tying in the main stem, or leader, and shortening new sideshoots, or laterals, to three leaves beyond their basal cluster of leaves.
If you want a bushy tree, prune lateral branches at the joint. Begin pruning the plant when the main trunk forms its first "Y" and then prune back any older branches to encourage additional branching. Cut back as much as 1/3 of the plant.
A thinning cut removes a lateral branch back to its point of origin. You can shorten a branch by cutting back to a lateral branch large enough to take over as the "leader.
Its straight trunk generates lateral shoots spreading outward. The leaves are similar to that of pine but much longer and flatter with a clear midrib. They make a nice contrast in texture next to a pine.
Maintain the canes and cut through the lateral stems, this will help thicken up the foliage around the canes without shortening the plant.
propagated from non-flowering lateral shoots, although
even shoots that are flowering can be rooted if the buds
or blossoms are removed. It is important that cuttings
are not hard and woody nor soft and flaccid. A semi-ripe ...
To ensure that your entire yard drains properly and away from the foundation of your house, install an underground drainage system, which includes lateral pipes that are trenched and connected around the yard.
Fruiting laterals extend from plants and support fruit without breaking, making harvest easier. The canes are moderately thorny.
For climbers, which are typically trained onto arbors or other structures, prune back laterals (stems that grow from existing canes, rather than emerging directly from the base of the plant) to between three and five buds.
With some perennials, especially those used for cut flowers such as peonies and chrysanthemums, you can encourage fewer but larger blooms by removing the smaller lateral flower buds, ...
The repeated mowing needed to mulch the leaves actually thickens the grass by encouraging it to grow laterally.
To thin out a shrub or bush, a branch or twig is cut off either at its point of origin from the parent stem, from a lateral side branch, or at ground level. Thin oldest and tallest stems first to allow growth of vigorous side branches.
Over the summer regularly deadhead spent flowers that form on the laterals, cutting them back to just above the third or fourth bud from the primary cane. This keeps aggressive laterals under control, so you have less pruning next year.
As plant roots extend laterally beneath a walkway, the last thing you want to do is tromp on them all day. With perma-bed gardens the sod-covered walkways offer beautiful protection to expanding plant roots.
Bigleaf type hydrangea set their flower buds at the ends of the upright or lateral branches, during late summer to early fall.
When the shoot reaches just above the cordon wire, pinch out the tip to force lateral branching. Train laterals (arms or cordons) down the wires, tying regularly to keep the cordon straight and in place. See Figure 10.
HABIT: The shape or form of a plant, growing vertical, laterally, or rounded. It is important to know the habit of a plant so one can expect certain growth patterns.
HABITAT: The kind of environment inhabited by a particular species.
In the book, "Plant Architecture and Its Manipulation" Colin Turnbull writes "The primary root becomes a taproot when it grows continuously downward into the soil reaching a greater depth than that of the lateral roots.

Prune straggly and tangled vine grown indoors in the fall/winter when growth has stopped and/or after blooming to promote lateral branching. Because C.
Tap root - the main or primary root that grows from the seed: Lateral roots will branch off the tap root,
Teflon tape - tape that is extremely useful to help seal all kinds of pipe joints. I like Teflon tape better than putty.
Spray off center, and you may create collateral damage. Organic herbicides typically burn down the weed without affecting adjacent grasses and plants. Some organic manufacturers report kill rates in 24 hours.
Main shoot
A basal cane or a strong lateral cane.
Mature plan
A plant that is old enough to produce blooms and seeds.
cordon
generally appliced to fruit trees that are trained by removing all the lateral branchs to leave a single main stem grwoing upright, horizontally, or more often at an oblique angle.
The second year, remove main lateral ones that are too crowded and any that cross other ones, and prune out dead or weak growth. In subsequent years, prune to develop an open tree where all branches receive light and good air circulation.
Leaves turn upward and lateral leaf margins roll inward. Leaf symptoms may appear on just a few branches or on the entire plant, depending on the extent of infection of the roots.
When growing blackberries, prune first year shoots to a height of 3 feet tall. This forces both stronger and lateral growth. Remove any unwanted suckers.
Remove any dead canes from the bramble.
The eye color of second instar nymphs is less intense, and their thorax turns yellow and shows small lateral wing pads. With successive molts, the markings on the thorax become more prominent and the wing pads become larger (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).
Excurrent branching- Tree growth in which the main axis continues to the top of the tree from which smaller, lateral branches arise (as in conifers). (See Deliquescent branching.) ...
The bright-pink 5-inch blooms of 'Tutti Frutti' make quite a statement. And there are plenty of lateral branches so you'll have enough for cutting while still keeping the show going out in the garden.
taproot. The large primary root that grows vertically downward, giving off small lateral roots.
target pest. A pest species that a control action is intended to destroy.
Because the main trunk is attractive year-round, allow it to grow as tall as you like and cut back the lateral branches to only a few buds.
Maintain its height by cutting back the central leader by 2 to 3 feet (.61-.91 m), depending on the vigor of the tree, to a strong lateral. In future years, you may have to repeat this to keep the tree the height you want.
Grow from roots, leader or side branches.

....Several branches originating at the same place, should be reduced to the largest branch.
Cut them down to a lateral leaf and you may see a new flower already forming. Leave the dying blossoms in place though and you have not just an eyesore but a plant without enough energy to send those secondary blooms aloft.
Always prune to an outward-facing bud so new growth won't crowd the center of the plant. Climbing roses have long-lived canes producing lateral growth from which flowers arise.
covers that are normally low growing may occasionally send out upright stems that spoil the evenness of the planting; cotoneaster is one example. When you see such stems, cut them back to their point of origin or to a horizontally growing lateral ...
The farther berries are borne from the base of the plant, the smaller they will be at maturity. In winter, remove all lateral shoots that grew within 2' of the ground, and head higher ones to 12 to 15 inches.
