An undeveloped shoot usually enclosed by
protective scales; inside is a very short
stem and numerous undeveloped leaves, or
flower parts, or both. Terminal buds are
found at the tips of shoots, while axillary
buds develop in the axils of the leaves,
often remaining dormant unless the terminal
bud is removed or damaged. Adventitious buds
may be produced anywhere on the plant, their
formation sometimes stimulated by an injury,
such as that caused by pruning.
