The Practice of Silviculture, 8th edition, by David M. Smith defines
ramicorn (p. 76) as an abnormally large branch which projects at a
small acute angle from the main stem; it tends to persist longer and
is much more undesirable than an ordinary branch. Ramicorns can also
form if the terminal bud dies or merely if some hormonal abnormality
causes it to fail to assert dominance over the branch buds.

Dear colleagues:
I was reading an article recently regarding Monterey pine crown form
and ran across the unfamiliar (to me) term "ramicorn branches." Can
someone please respond with a definition? Email to my address is fine
unless this is of greater general interest.
Thanks!
