Terminal buds - A bud at the end of a stem or branch
Transperation - Evaporation of water from plant tissue to the atmosphere. Transpiration occurs mainly through the stomates in the leaves.
Terminal bud - bud at the growing end of the main stem.
Thin - cull or weed out weak, slow growing seedlings.
Tonic life - the amount of time a pesticide or fungicide remains active or live.
terminal bud The bud at the tip of a stem, trunk, or branch. Its development extends the plants growth.
If the terminal bud begins to sprout, (which often happens when we have a warm spell in the winter), a following hard freeze can kill the bud.
Terminal bud A plant's apical bud. Terrarium A partly or entirely closed glass container used to house a collection of indoor plants.
Branched - stems with more than one terminal bud; with side growths or branches.
Climbing - stems too weak to support themselves, which lean or twist about other plants or posts for support, such as in Bougainvillea spp.
Detach a 2- to 6-inch piece of stem, including the terminal bud. Make the cut just below a node. Remove lower leaves that would touch or be below the medium. Dip the stem in rooting hormone if desired.
* Gardening Tip * Be sure to pinch off the terminal bud (the main shoot's top) and the tips of the plant's shoots, to encourage it to branch out (rather than growing straight up and straggly).
In the home garden, pinch out terminal buds (the sprout at the top of the plant) about a month before the anticipated first frosts.
In the woody ornamentals class, we learned about apical dominance (how the terminal bud of a shoot inhibits the growth of side buds), the significance of good drainage, and proper pH levels.
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, forcing plants to put more energy into the terminal bud remaining ...
Deformed or failed terminal buds and root tips. Results in blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers.
Magnesium. Yellow in areas between veins and may show mottling of older leaves.
Sulphur.
Pinching: Removing terminal buds or growth to stimulate branching.
Rhizome: Horizontal underground stem distinguished from a root by the presence of nodes and buds.
Prune pine, spruce and firs before new growth begins to harden. Terminal buds will not form if pruning is done later. Yews (Taxus) are the only needle evergreens that can be pruned later with no adverse affect.
Dieback: The death of tree branches starting at their terminal bud (the last bud on a branch) and moving back up the branch toward the trunk.

Monopodial Continuing growth from a terminal bud each year.
Morifolium Epithet meaning leaves like mulberry, such as mums.
Morphology The study of structure or forms.
Pick the terminal bud (the one at the top) first, when it's large and swollen, but before the scales have started to open - cut off with a few centimetres of stem attached. Pick the side buds when they have reached a decent size.
rat-tail bloom. A secondary bloom in Bartlett pears that results when terminal buds form and open on the current season's growth.
receptacle. The apex of the flower stem that bears the organs of the flower.
Apical dominance - A phenomenon whereby a plant's growth is concentrated on the terminal bud, allowing it to grow taller, thereby increasing its exposure to sunlight.
To produce the largest Dahlia flowers (especially 'Dinner plate' Dahlias), the main stems should be kept free of side shoots, allowing only the main terminal bud to develop. Be sure to provide adequate support to prevent wind damage.
In general, infections of any type that occur between petal fall and terminal bud set usually lead to the greatest limb and tree loss.
Dahlia grows quickly, and will bloom in mid summer. Stem tips will develop multiple buds, usually three. To grow bigger blooms disbud the two side buds, leaving the middle, terminal bud.
Did you know? Carnations are often called "Pinks" in the garden. To create a carnation from the multiple flowers on the stem, pinch off all flowers on the stem except the center or terminal bud.
To encourage large flowers leave the terminal bud and pinch off the side buds. Dig up the tubers after the plant has been blackened by frost, cut the foliage back to 4″, let it dry out for a few hours and store indoors for the winter.
cuttings are changing in colour, generally from green to reddish or brown and have fully formed leaves right to the tip. Hardwood cuttings have stems where the colour has changed completely to brown. They have a distinctly dormant terminal bud and ...
have two kinds of leaves: spring leaves emerge at or after time of flowering; summer leaves (usually smaller and somewhat thicker) emerge midsummer and remain on the plant through the winter. Another important difference is that the terminal buds of ...
