Forked Stem' is:
Correct answer: D. Both (a) & (b)
- A. Sometimes two shoots appear at the same time, giving usually a larger crown but from the forester's point of view, this is a most unsatisfactory bole
- B. Forking is often caused by injuries such as those resulting from frost damage, wind or hail storms, insect attack, particularly by budwarm (Salmalia)
- C. None of these
- D. Both (a) & (b)
Explanation
A forked stem may result from simultaneous development of two shoots, producing a broad crown but an undesirable bole. Injuries from frost, wind, hail or insects can also kill or damage the leading shoot and cause forking, so both statements are correct.
