Among woody stems also, some can raise themselves up 

 without any support, as in the Akamatsu (Fig. 1) and 

 Sakura (Pig. 2), while others can only raise themselves up 

 by means of supports, as in the Budo (Vitis vinifera) 

 (Fig. 15) and Kidzuta (Hedera Helix) ; the former are called 

 Independent Woody Stems, and the latter Dependent or 

 Climbing Woody Stems.
