One-year-old wood is best described as ...

One-year-old wood are the canes that grew in the previous growing season and are kept during pruning to carry next year’s crop. They are about a year old and contain the buds that will sprout next season. These canes may be left long (canes) or shortened to short sections (spurs), and each bud is a compound bud capable of producing multiple shoots. The term distinguishes them from leaves or from the current season’s new shoots, and from wood that is older than one year.
