The young beech shoots are protected inside their buds. At the tip of an annual shoot, the buds are biggest. Towards the base, they get progressively smaller. This is referred to as apical dominance.

At the scarred zone, centre of shot, the twig began its previous year's growth. Morphologically, a beech stem is monopodial because the leading shoot is dominant.

This growth principle applies also to the secondary shoots branching out horizontally. In each case, a terminal bud continues the growth of the shoot.
