multistemmed

Several stalks sprouting

Multistemmed describes a plant that grows multiple stems from a single root system rather than a single trunk.

Many shrubs are naturally multistemmed, and some trees can be pruned to encourage this form: a multistemmed birch, multistemmed hydrangeas along the fence.

Also spelled multi-stemmed.
