The DNA is the carrier of the genetic material and therefore the building plan of our body. Trees also have their DNA and thus their species-specific blueprint stored in their seeds and therefore exhibit so-called "generative growth". This means that depending on where the seed is planted, the growth adapts to external conditions such as sun, wind...
