In some angiosperms, the short shoots, also called spur shoots or fruit spurs, produce the majority of flowers and fruit. A similar pattern occurs in some conifers and in Ginkgo, although the “short shoots” of some genera such as Picea are so small that they can be mistaken for part of the leaf that they have produced.
What is spur in plants?
Spurs are stubby and short side stems that protrude from the main stem on woody plants that are usually in their second year. The fruit of pears and apples form on the spurs of a tree.
What part of the plant is the shoot?
The shoot system consists of the stems and leaves of the plant. More specifically, it includes the nodes, internodes, axillary buds, terminal bud and leaves. The leaf has four parts as well, the stalk, blade, veins and petiole.
