Overview. New strawberry plants develop from root shoots. However, they can also be started from seed. Starting strawberries from seed can be difficult at first. Most people don't know that strawberry seeds have to be cold-treated before they can grow.
A young tree with a slender trunk is known as a sapling. Just as a young duck is called a duckling, a young tree is called a sapling. The suffix -ling comes from Old English and often shows up today at the end of words to mean young or youngster.. Brothers and sisters are called siblings. A baby goose is called a gosling. Someone who works under you is called an underling. The way to remember the meaning of sapling is that trees make sap â the sweet, sugary liquid that, in sugar maples, gets turned into syrup. A young tree, then, is known as a sapling. One day, it'll make sap.
Report Abuse. Seedling is the very inital stage of a plant.... when the pods are still attached to it and its in the developing stage of leaves. Sapling i would say is the most appropriate word for describing a baby plant.Where its not over grown and no longer has its pods attached. Espceially at this stage..... you can replant them or move them elsewhere. BONSAI... is a matured tree dwarfed. So that is not same like calling a baby dog....... feel kind of dumb asking this question, but if you could let me know the word for a baby tree, the way that a baby dog is a puppy, I'd appreciate it.
