A woody plant in gardening refers to a type of plant that has a persistent above-ground shoot system made of wood, including trees, shrubs, vines, and groundcovers. These plants have stems that usually last through dormant seasons (like winter), and their structure is supported by lignified vascular tissue known as wood. Unlike herbaceous plants whose above-ground parts die back each year, woody plants grow thicker stems over time. In the context of the game "Grow a Garden," woody plants are specific types of crops that can be grown and fed to the Beanstalk during the Beanstalk event in the game. There are 20 woody plant types in Grow a Garden, ranging from common ones like Apple and Pear to more rare and mythical ones like Coconut, Mango, and Moon Mango. These plants are valuable because they contribute points to the Beanstalk growth and can be found in various shops and seed packs within the game. So, in summary:
- Botanically, woody plants are those with permanent, woody stems like trees and shrubs, used for structure and longevity in gardens.
- In Grow a Garden, woody plants are special crop types players grow to fuel and grow the Beanstalk during an event. Examples include Apple, Avocado, Coconut, Mango, Pear, etc.
