Indefinite Trunli. 



Definite Trunk. 



AN INDEFINITE TBTJNK is one in which the trunk 

 runs through to the top, the terminal bud growing 

 on from year to year with more vigor than any of the 

 branches. 



IN A DEFINITE TRUNK the stem breaks up into 

 branches, and so disappears, as seen in Fig. 268. 



Have apple-trees definite trunks ?
