germinate(x, angle = 15, trunk.width = 20, middle = "0", left = "1",
  right = "2", left2 = "3", right2 = "4", left3 = "5", right3 = "6",
  left4 = "7", right4 = "8", plot = FALSE, ...)

`x`	Either a `seed` object returned by `seed`, or a named `list` containing: `trunk.height` Exactly how glorious will this tree be? `branches` A binary coded vector of addresses of branches to be included. Branches can branch to the left or the right from the end of the trunk, or from the end of another branch included in `branches`. Elements of `branches` may only contain the characters given in args `left` and `right`, and all parent branches of each element must also be provided. E.g. if `left` and `right` are `'0'` and `'1'`, respectively, then `'0'` is the first branch to the left stemming from the top of the trunk, while `'1'` is the first branch to the right, stemming from the top of the trunk; `'01'` would be a branch forking to the right from the end of the first branch that forked left off the trunk. `lengths` A vector of branch lengths corresponding to the elements of `branches`. Should be the same length as `branches`.
`angle`	The angle of branches relative to their parent branch (or relative to the trunk). This angle is negated for left-pointing branches.
`trunk.width`	The line width of the trunk. Widths are then scaled down for successive child branches, to a minimum of 1.
`left`	The character used to represent left-turning branches in the `branches` vector (default is `'0'`). Must not be `'Y'`.
`right`	The character used to represent right-turning branches in the `branches` vector (default is `'1'`). Must not be `'Y'`.
`plot`	Should the tree be plotted? (logical).
`...`	Further arguments to `plot.plant`.
