The insertion of a bud from one plant (together with some live sur-rounding tissue) beneath the barkof another plant so that the cambiumlayers join and grow together. A compound resulting from the burning of limestone containing, whenpure, 40 parts of calcium and 16 parts of oxygen by weight. It is alsoknown as fresh burned or quicklime. The new tissue which forms over a wound as over the end of a cutting;a protective measure provided in nature; but not always an indicationthat the cutting will produce roots. The soft, very thin tissue lying between the bark and the woody tissue.This is the tissue from which new wood originates and is the only trulylive portion of the stem of a plant. Plant food rises from roots to leavesthrough the cells on the inner half of the cambium layer and returnsfrom the leaves downward as available plant food through cells on theouter half of the cambium layer. |
