Growth characteristics of secondary branches of jujube

The permanent branch, which grows from the secondary buds in the middle and upper part of the developing branch, grows in a zigzag shape, which is the basic branch, also known as the fruiting base branch. After the branch stopped growing in that year, the apical bud was not formed, and the growth was no longer extended, and the thickening growth was also very slow, and gradually withdrew and withered from the apex with the increase of branch age. Generally, the growth of the developing branch is strong, the growth of the secondary branch is also strong, and the number of growing nodes is increased; if the developing branch is strong, the secondary branch is also weak and short, generally with 4 to 13 nodes, each node is covered with jujube strands, so the secondary branch is an important jujube foundation and the main skeleton of the tree.
