The vascular cambium is a cylindrical region running through the entire stem of the plant, and branching into every twig and limb. |
A bifacial vascular cambium forming manoxylic secondary wood is also present. |
Secondary phloem fibres develop from the vascular cambium although secondary vascular growth remains limited. |
It also may provide protected chewing access for small rodents and other animals, which can severely injure the bark and cambium. |
If you girdle the base of the tree exposing the cambium layer, the tree will die. |
The primary vascular system consists of a eustele and a bifacial vascular cambium. |
