The basic parts of a tree are the roots, trunk(s), branches, twigs and leaves. Tree stems consist mainly of support and transport tissues (xylem and phloem). Wood consists of xylem cells, and bark is made of phloem and other tissues external to the vascular cambium.
Trees (all conifers, and all broadleaf trees), grow by the addition of new wood outwards, immediately under the bark.
So, the initials you saw will stay the same height year after year.
The tree will grow taller from the crown or top of the tree.
