Shoots Sentence Examples

  • The best time for planting is in spring, when the young shoots have just started.

  • The growth of inwardly directed shoots FIG.

  • The maiden tree is headed down, and two shoots led away right and left.

  • If the shoots produced are not sufficient in number, or are badly placed, or very unequal in vigour, the head should be cut back moderately close, leaving a few inches only of the young shoots, which should be pruned back to buds so placed as to furnish shoots in the positions desired.

  • Near the base of the stem are two prominent buds, which would produce two vigorous shoots, but these would be too near the ground, and the buds should therefore be suppressed; but, to strengthen the lower part, the weaker buds just above and below the lowest branch should be forced into growth, by making a transverse incision close above each.
