The shoot apical meristem restores its symplasmic organization during chilling-induced release from dormancy. It refers to fact that the apical bud, or the bud at the apex or tip of the stem, inhibits the growth of other buds that are lower on the stem. Essentially, the bud that is highest on the stem will grow, while the growth of lower buds is limited to focus the plants energy on the growing tips. Apical dominance is controlled by the release of a plant hormone called auxin from the bud that is highest on the stem.

As this hormone travels back down the stem and other, lower buds are exposed to auxin, their growth is inhibited. In this manner, woody plants can grow taller, rather than bushier, and capture more sunlight than shorter, adjacent plants. Essentially, trees are programmed to grow tall by the pattern to which their buds are exposed to auxin. Since woody plants invest so much energy in their growing tips, when the apical bud is removed, either from a pruning cut, a browsing deer, storm damage, or other impacts, it becomes a race to reestablish the dominant bud.

In absence of auxin, which would typically be released by the apical bud, the growth of lower buds begins, which takes significant energy. Until a new bud becomes dominant, or higher on the plant, a lot of energy is invested in a flush of growth to reestablish an apically dominant bud.

For this reason, it can be incredibly important to establish one dominant stem, called the central leader, in young trees. If a young tree has two competing stems at the top that are nearly the same height, significant energy is expended as they compete to grow the tallest. In cases where the apical bud or buds in a woody plant are indiscriminately removed, such as with deer browse, it can cause serious problems for the plant as it scrambles to reallocate energy and growth.

In nature, it is a huge advantage to grow above the height of browsing animals. Another transports liquids from the leaves to the roots and also laterally above ground. This is called the Phloem. As the plant grows it constantly renews both of these. Only the new xylem and phloem transport water and nutrients. The old xylem tissue becomes the wood and the old phloem tissue becomes the bark. Since this tissue creation is very slow in winter, the creation of new wood slows down, resulting in an annual growth ring blue arrow that can be seen in this cross-section of a Black Locust tree branch.

Other perennials, such as grasses, persist from year-to-year only in their root and root crown. They do not re-use in the following year the structures they build above ground during the growing season. They succeed through prolific seed-production, a greater tolerance for dry conditions and the ability to recover rapidly from a catastrophic environmental disturbance such as a fire or a flood.

The seeds of cottonwood trees have a cottony structure which enables them to blow long distances in the air before settling on the ground. This cotton-like fiber tends to collect everywhere when the seeds fall - massed in billowy piles on roadsides, insinuated in other plant-life and flower petals, and tickling noses.
