Meristems  - Meristems are groups of cells that have the ability to divide and produce more cells that eventually differentiate or mature to form all parts of the tree.  Apical meristems increase the length of stems and roots, and produce flowers.  The vascular meristem, or the cambial zone, increases the girth or circumference of the tree.   See "Meristem".
