a–e Modalities of longitudinal growth observed in branches sampled in P. velutina. Schemes show growing axes and grey symbols are leaves borne by SGU. The symbol “=” indicates that a new SGU is formed after leaf shedding on the previous SGU, whereas symbol “─” indicates that a new SGU is formed without leaf shedding on the previous SGU. Sequences a, b and c take place over approximately 1 year, whereas sequences d and e take place over several years (here ca. 3 years)
