\"Shoot growth can be altered by branch orientation. Most of the shoot growth on a vertically oriented branch develops from the terminal shoot bud. A plant hormone (auxin) is produced at the growing shoot\'s apex and moves down the shoot, preventing shoot development from lateral buds. Auxin also tends to inhibit flower bud formation.\"

\" Flower and shoot buds of deciduous fruit trees and olives (evergreen) will grow normally in the spring only after exposure to sufficient winter cold.\"

\"Tip cuttings probably are the most common type for use with deciduous plants during the growing season; they generally do not give the best results at any other part of the year. The tip section of a shoot is more subject to winter cold damage, may have flower buds rather than shoot buds, and may not have the proper internal nutritional and hormonal balance for good rooting during the dormant season.\"
