Definition
The natural shedding or dropping of branches from a plant or tree.
Etymology
From Greek 'klados' (branch) + 'ptosis' (falling). This botanical term was coined to describe the phenomenon where trees deliberately drop branches as a survival strategy.
Kelly Says
Trees aren't just standing there passively—some actively amputate their own branches to conserve water during droughts or to drop heavy snow loads, which is basically botanical self-surgery.
