Primary growth in plants, including trees, occurs at the tips of roots and shoots, leading to an increase in length. This growth is facilitated by the apical meristems found at these locations. In an old tree, primary growth continues in the young branches where new leaves are forming, contributing to the elongation of the tree's branches and the overall height of the tree.
