The spruce is an example of monopodial growth, that is, growth in one direction. The limbs branch off from the central trunk axis. The limbs lose their needles due to aging and overshadowing, the red area. Ultimately, they fall off in the course of natural pruning.
From the branch scar, the longitudinal growth and the branching frequency can still be reconstructed years later.
