188 - Terminal and Lateral Buds
The top branch of a plant is called the terminal bud. The tip of this bud is called a meristem. This terminal bud will continue to grow as long as the meristem is intact. If it is cut off, the plant may redirect its energy into forming a lateral bud. I’m the case of my tomato plant, I cut off the terminal and lateral buds so that all fuel would be directed to the tomatoes. Science is so amazing .
