We can convey some complex info, if we quickly provide simple synonyms, or better yet start simple.
Epicormic --maybe say "outside the core" first, then drop in the greek if it fits the audience. endocormic, inside the core, etc.
And totally agree on heal/seal re wounds. but for the whole organism, heal still works, for me, and the dictionary.
heal is the start of healthy, a common term.
was the looking good for you, whaaa? All i know is: a dog's ma is a bi*ch.

"sucker" and "sprout" is kind of like "vigor" and "vitality". There is a difference, but it's understandable if someone innocently mixes them up. Correct course, and move on--the first four letters in 'analysis' sometime look like an adjective.
ok maybe scold was a bit strong--though there is a chill in the air today! How about chide - rebuke - reprove - reprimand - reprehend?

You're correct. Sucker and sprout--along with vigor and vitality--are easily intermixed. And the sloppier the swaps, the less useful they are for accurate coordinated information.
In the same way that you synonymicly string out, chide - rebuke - reprove - reprimand - reprehend, I'd like to offer pizzazz and panache in addition to vigor and vitality.
It would spice up our dialogues here, and probably be more comfortable for our customers: Yes, that red oak seems to have lost its panache over the last two years.
And for the scholars, they might be invited to those TV series that include interior decorators and landscape architects. "Professor Harvey Staircase is here now, reading from his paper, Flamboyance as an expressive gene in Quercus virginiana.
Who knows, perhaps II. THE CONCEPT OF SLIDING GROWTH BY J. H. PRIESTLEY could go viral--which might add Awesome or Shut the door to vigor or vitality as Priestly picks up a few million young followers.
Yes, it is delightful to watch the evolution of language, up or down, guided by the free markets, it doesn't matter as long as it's moving. So my friend Guy, I do indeed stand chided - rebuked - reproved - reprimanded - and reprehended. I am now prepared to join your world of the anal adjectived; I am hereafter mea culpated.
BTW: I did come across this site that unsettled me greatly, where I was informed:

Good grief. No synonyms for synonym? That's mega-anal, How can we stay comfortably sloppy if the headwaters dry up?
Oh, the humanity...
