	Woody plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A woody plant is a vascular plant that has a stem (or more than one stem) that is lignified to a high degree.
		Woody plants are trees, shrubs, etc or lianas.
		Most woody plants will be composed mostly of wood.

	Woody plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A woody plant is any vascular plant that has a perennial woody stem -- that is, one that supports continued vegetative growth above ground from year to year.
		Most woody plants form new layers of woody tissue from year to year, each year over the layer of the preceding year, and so increase their stem diameter from year to year.
		Woody plants are usually termed either trees, shrubs, or vines.

	Freeze Damage in Woody Plant for Bonsai
		However, plant cells have rigid cell walls and are capable of withstanding several atmospheres of pressure on a regular basis due to their own normal internal turgor pressure.
		Another mechanism that plants use is the expulsion of water from the cell protoplasm into the inter-cellular spaces.
		Freezing of the soil in a Bonsai pot is not necessarily a threat to the plant unless it is accompanied by prolonged periods where the shoots are at higher temperatures and/or exposed to drying winds and dessication of the shoots becomes an issue.

	Fertilizing Woody Ornamentals
		It is important, however, that plants not be overfertilized and that fertilizer not be expected to overcome problems caused by the use of unadapted varieties, improper planting techniques, poor soil drainage, soil compaction or incorrect watering practices.
		Plant signs indicating the need for fertilization include lack of terminal growth, pale green or yellow leaves, mottled leaves, dead branches, stunted leaves and early loss of leaves.
		In general, woody plants adapted to the local area are usually very effective for growing in landscaped areas with well-maintained lawns.

	Woody Plant Tissue Culture
		The intent of this communication is to briefly describe the contemporary techniques of tissue culture of woody plants, and to review the advantages and limitations of tissue culture as a propagation method.
		Not all of these methods are applicable to woody plants, and indeed, not all have been applied to a commercial level to any plants.
		The number of woody plant species which have been clonally propagated through tissue culture is increasing at a rapid rate, and in fact, most commercially important ornamental species have been studied.

		Many problems in nurseries and landscape plantings can be avoided by selecting proper plant materials, creating good planting sites, avoiding unnecessary wounding, providing routine care (including fertilization and timely watering and pruning), and using preventive disease and insect control measures as needed.
		Woody plants may be stressed or grow poorly for a variety of reasons, some natural and some caused by people.
		Replace with Verticillium wilt resistant plants, e.g., Betula spp., Buxus spp., Cercidiphyllum japonicum, Carpinus spp., Cornus spp., Crataegus spp., Ginkgo biloba, Fagus spp., Gleditsia triacanthos, Ilex spp., Juglans spp., Liquidambar stryaciflua, Malus spp., Morus spp., Platanus spp., Pyracantha spp., Quercus spp., Pyrus spp., Salix spp., Sorbus aucuparia, Tilia spp., and needled evergreens.

	Basic Principles of Pruning Woody Plants
		Or you may want to prune mature plants to control their size and shape, as in the case of fruit trees that are pruned low to the ground to aid picking or hedge plants pruned at a particular height.
		Some plants suppress the growth of their lateral buds until the second growing season; others develop both lateral shoots and terminal buds during the first growing season.
		If plants are not grown for their flowers, the best time for pruning is during the dormant winter season before new growth begins in the spring.

	How do non woody plants stay upright?
		A plant cell is different from an animal cell in that it has a cellulose cell wall and also in that it contains a large sap filled vacuole.
		If however, plant cells are surrounded by a solution with a stronger solute concentration than the cell sap, then the vacuole loses water and as a result there is no hydrostatic pressure acting against the cell wall, such cells are said to be flaccid or plasmolysed.
		Even those of us who lack green fingers are aware that a drooping, wilting plant has not been watered; once the necessary watering has been carried out the stems and leaves very quickly revert to their erect state as parenchyma cells become turgid.

		Similarly, encroachment of woody plants can be expected to produce relatively large shifts in the ratio of E to T in semiarid ecosystems, whereas such shifts will be small or negligible in both subhumid and xeric ecosystems.
		This framework for considering the effects of woody plant encroachment highlights important ecological and hydrological interactions that serve as a basis for predicting other ecological aspects of vegetation change,such as potential changes in carbon cycling within an ecosystem.
		In locations where woody plant encroachment results in increased T and concurrently the availability of soil water is reduced, increased accumulation of carbon in soils can be predicted.
