Spiral tree growth is caused by genetic and environmental stressors influencing cambium development
Studies on conifer cambium development confirm that changes in fusiform cambial cell orientation and division patterns drive the formation of spiral tree growth.
The provided papers detail the specific cellular mechanisms within the vascular cambium—such as anticlinal divisions and microdomain shifts—that lead to spiral grain formation, thus supporting the claim.
R. A. Savidge, J. L. Farrar. Cellular adjustments in the vascular cambium leading to spiral grain formation in conifers. 1984. https://doi.org/10.1139/b84-383
Demonstrates how cellular adjustments and divisions in the vascular cambium lead to spiral grain formation in conifers.
