The 'Multiple Trunk System' is associated with which crop in the material?

• A. Strawberries
• B. Figs
• C. Muscadines
• D. Blackberries

Answer: (B)

Multiple trunk system means keeping several vertical stems arising from the base so the plant forms a bushy frame rather than a single trunk. This setup is helpful for fig trees because figs fruit on new growth, so having multiple productive trunks increases the amount of new wood that can bear fruit and makes pruning and harvesting easier by giving you several accessible canes to manage. In the materials, this training approach is described as being associated with figs for that reason. Other crops listed are typically trained with different systems—strawberries are grown in mats or beds, while muscadines and blackberries are usually managed on trellises or cordons rather than a multi-trunk bush.
