Example text
The axial direction (the z-axis) is the direction of apical growth and in a tree it is represented by the line of pith development; in the usual cases of straight standing stems it corresponds to the vertical direction. The directions in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction crossing the pith are radial directions (the y-axis) and correspond to the direction of stem thickening (radial growth) of a tree. The direction perpendicular to a radial and an axial direction is called tangential (the x-axis).
