Though referred to in the singular as the latent bud, it is in fact a compound bud, with each component bud located in the leaf axil of another. At first sight the compound or fruit bud may appear to be axillary to the cane of the primary shoot, but it is actually a basal appendage of the lateral bud or shoot.f the bud does not grow in that first season it will die. The first leaf of the lateral bud is reduced to a prophyll, a modified leaf that does not look like the other leaves one normally sees along the shoot. An additional bud formed in the axil of this prophyll is called the compound bud.
