Learn how to identify plants by their twigs, including buds, bud scales, leaf scars, stipules, spines, and more. See examples of different types of twig features and how to distinguish them.
These are the bud scales and they protect the more delicate, inner, foliage leaves from drying up, from damage by birds, insects, fungi etc. and, to some extent, from extremes of temperature. At the end of the bud's short stem is either a flower, or a growing point where rapid cell division will take place later on when the next bud is forming.
