CONT

For perennial woody species such as maple trees, the sequence is different [from that in herbaceous annual plants]. Primordia form in the summer months inside resting buds protected by small scale-like leaves. The primordia then remain dormant until the following spring, when they burst forth in a profusion of new leaves.

CONT

Le retour tardif du charme en Europe du Nord (+- 800 av. J.C.), pratiquement la dernière espèce ligneuse réimplantée lors de la recolonisation forestière qui a suivi la dernière glaciation (vers 8 500 av. J.C.), peut expliquer l'absence de mythes et de folklore propres à cette espèce.

OBS
