KRL Tree Service - Arborist Calgary - Tree Pruning Calgary

This section of my articles goes much deeper than most of the rest of the content. It in no way invalidates the Tree Care articles; it is more of an advanced class, using more technical language, and a deeper look into the internal lives of trees.

A good place to begin is with the articles called A Practical Working Model of Your Tree, and a good conclusion is the two articles called Arborist’s Education and How to Have a Successful Tree.

Without the need to grow up into the sunlight, plants would not have developed stiff cells to allow them to do so. They would have remained close to the ground, and the wonder of trees and all they give humankind would not exist.

Meristems: SAM and RAM

Details: Written by Kevin R. Lee Kevin R. Lee; Published: 25 November 2022 25 November 2022

The only way that plants can grow and get larger is to increase their mass by making more cells through mitosis. This dividing action is what meristems are all about.
