How Trees Grow How Trees Grow. The buds, root tips, and cambium layer are the three growing parts of the tree. Buds elongate the branches and widen the crown (branches and leaves), the cambium layer adds diameter to the tree, and the root tips grow in length to support the growth of the tree.uds are tiny leaves, stems and flowers located in a small case at the base of each leaf. Buds are formed during the summer months for the following year. Each spring as the tree comes out of dormancy, the scales fall off and the tree’s leaves, stems and flowers open up and grow.
