apically
Toward the tip
At, toward, or from the apex—the tip or highest point.
The term appears mainly in technical contexts: botanists describe leaves that narrow apically, dentists work on teeth apically (toward the root tip), and linguists describe consonants produced with the tongue tip as apical.
The branches taper apically toward the crown.
