How is a fruit bud different than a leaf or vegetative bud? Why is it important to

know the difference?



What will be an ideal response?


Unlike leaf or vegetative buds, fruit buds will not grow into new plants. Therefore, it is
important to select the vegetative bud, rather than the fruit bud, when attempting
propagation. The vegetative or leaf bud is slimmer and more pointed than the fruit bud.
Fruit buds generally appear on the base or bottom end of the shoot.
