+The turtle command ''RH'' is used to create the phyllotactic pattern of leaves (resulting in their placement around the stem).
 Now that we have specified the ''Axiom'' inside the ''init()'' method and a rewriting rule for the ''Apex'' inside the ''run()'' method, we can run the model by clicking on the ''run'' button in the RGG Toolbar, placed above the 3D View.
-By applying this rule to an apex 7 times, we create a small plant made of 7 internodes and 7 leaves.

 In tomato, after a certain number of phytomers (internodes with leaves), specified by a parameter ''NB_VEG_PHYTOMERS'', primary shoot turns into a sympodial shoot, that bears trusses with fruits. For this sympodial shoot, a repetitive pattern with 3 leaves and 1 truss with fruits is typical in many (high-wire) tomato cultivars.
