Question

What are the diffrences between fruit buds and vegetative buds?

Answer 1

Actually the two types of buds are called leaf buds and flower buds. The flower bud is sometimes called a fruit bud.

A leaf bud (we'll say vegetative bud) is composed of a short stem with embryonic leaves, with bud primordia in the axils and at the apex. Such buds develop into leafy shoots. Leaf buds are often less plump and more pointed than flower buds.

A flower bud is composed of a short stem with embryonic flower parts. In some cases the flower buds of plants which produce fruit crops of economic importance are called fruit buds. This terminology is objectionable because flowers have the potential for developing into fruit. This development may never occur because of adverse weather conditions, lack of pollination or other unfavorable circumstances. The structure is a flower bud and should be so designated since it may never set fruit.
