Default Mutilation Propagation

By damaging but not destroying, a young meristem can be divided into many smaller meristems. Here's a Goldfinger that went from one to a dozen.

Hit it hard enough to damage it but not destroy it.

The Goldfinger plantlets in post #1 was caused by a fallen tree that met the impact requirements.

When plantlets form a straight line it's normally from a knife cut opposed to a smash.

This was more of a tap than a smash but the damage to the center is clearly visible.
