1. Where do epicormic shoots originate in a plant?
From the flowers of the plant
From the roots of the plant
From the leaves of the plant
From latent buds under the bark
2. Describe how chlorophyll contributes to the overall process of
photosynthesis in plants.
Chlorophyll regulates the plant's water intake.

what could be the potential consequences for the tree?
Improper pruning can damage the branch collar, leading to
increased vulnerability to disease and poor healing.
Improper pruning will enhance the growth of the branch collar.
Improper pruning has no effect on the branch collar.
Improper pruning will strengthen the branch collar.
