A ramicorn in radiata (or Monterey) pine is a strong branch that competes 
temporarily with its apical shoot.  It usually finishes up as a steeply 
ascending, large competing branch, but some researchers would claim that 
sometimes this leads to multiple leaders.

Lewis and Ferguson(1993) in their book "Management of Radiata Pine" ascribe 
the origin of the term term to C.K. Pawsey in 1954. 

I trust this overcomes your perplexity.     Graham Whyte
