Great!
Mange tak, Lone!@wannabemystiker Also komme op is used in a context where the seed or root is covered with dirt. Spire is also used for seeds etc. that show signs of growth without being covered by anything.

How about new emerging leaf buds from a deciduous tree?
@wannabemystiker You would always say "springe ud".
For example, Bøgen springer snart ud.
Springe ud is also what gay people do, btw. when they leave the closet.

What is the proper verb to describe the emergence of new growth from the roots, bulbs, or rhizomes of a perennial plant (such as humle eller krokus)? Are any of these verbs appropriate?

vokse
komme opWhat is the proper verb to describe the emergence of new growth from a seed?

@wannabemystiker @saederup If you are talking about the leaf buds, we call them “skud” or alternately “knopper”. “Busken skyder med friske skud fra stammen” or “kan spise de friske bøge-skud”.
“Spire” is akin to the word sprout, I think. Bønnespire=bean sprouts. We say that new growth “spirer”. It is also used in other contexts, for something new and growing, like fx. an interest “spirende interesse”, or love “spirende kærlighed”.

@yungleaf New emerging shoots from overwintering storage organs like roots, bulbs or tubers would be called 'skud' (that's a noun) and the action we normally say 'skyder frem' (shooting) or 'sætter skud' (setting shoots). If the shoot is form a seed, it would be 'spirer' (verb) for germinating. @wannabemystiker

@wannabemystiker The buds are usually made in the previous season. In the beginning spring, they swell up and start to shoot. So the new growth would properly speaking be a shoot (skud). @Stilling
