an abscission scar on the trunk of Castilla where a branch has been shed
Cladoptosis (Ancient Greek κλάδοςkládos "branch", πτῶσιςptôsis "falling" [noun]; sometimes pronounced with the p silent) is the regular shedding of branches.[1] It is the counterpart for branches of the familiar process of regular leaf shedding by deciduous trees. As in leaf shedding, an abscission layer forms, and the branch is shed cleanly.
