Of a sprout: growing from a
dormant
,

bud

trunk
of a tree.
1964
, Arnold Hedlund,
Epicormic Branching in North Louisiana Delta
[1]
, Southern Forest Experiment Station:
Epicormic
branching often follows
disturbances
, such as
thinning
or top
breakage
, which
stimulate
the
sprouting
of
dormant
buds on the
boles
. The branches may add to the growth
capacity
of the tree, but they also create
knots
that
reduce
lumber
value.
