In the paper, a review of publications on controlled experiments of heating and cooling of trees and their significance for the studies of radial tree growth is presented. The experiments carried out by different researchers in a number of tree species have demonstrated that it is possible to affect cambial activity and processes of wood and phloem formation and by that their anatomical structure; however, the response of cambium to locally elevated or decreased temperatures differed in various evergreen and deciduous tree species.

In the paper, apical and lateral meristems in tree are presented with the emphasis on vascular cambium. Various explanations of cambial structure are given. Structure of cambium, types of cell division and periodical activity of cambium are described. At the end, importance of application of appropriate microscopical techniques for investigations of cambium at ultrastructural level are presented.
