flower-bearing
Carrying floral growth
Flower-bearing describes plants or plant parts that produce flowers: flower-bearing stems, flower-bearing shrubs.
The term appears in botanical contexts to distinguish reproductive structures from purely vegetative growth.
A flower-bearing branch is one that will bloom, as opposed to one that only produces leaves.
