Watersprouts are the growth resulting from buds on the surface of old wood of a plant. The growth is very thin relative to the parent branch and the joint between the sprout and branch is weak. Like a sucker, the sprout wood is juvenile and fast-growing, fed on ample water and nutrients from the large parent wood.
