Here's a question a lot of us wold like to know the answer to: Does
anyone have an answer? "Physiologically speaking, what happens inside the

I'm not a plant physiologist/pathologist, but I suspect the answer lies in the degree of lignification - development of increasing amounts of lignins - the compounds which give woody plants(as well as grasses) much of their structural integrity.
