epicormic

Where it comes from

From epi- + corm + -ic.

adjective

not comparable Of a sprout: growing from a dormant, adventitious bud on the trunk of a tree. 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.
