The most important factor is to detect connectivity and direction. Connectivity is important when removing plant square pixels

I think the best way to approach this is to have a singly linked list and have classes represent different parts of a plant. For example, there would be Stem(), Branches() and Leaves() classes, where Stem() is the parent of Branches(). The Leaves() class would just be a standalone class with not much detail (it would only need growth and what it provides for the plant overall. This would all be under a Plant() class that would determine Stem, Branch, and Leaf behavior. The Stem() would be a linked list where the nodes link to other parts of a stem such as Branches() or Leaves(), meaning each node would be a list. Branches() would be another linked list to contain other parts of a branch and Leaves() (again, nodes are a list). Finally, each component of a Node will also contain a class called PlantPixels() with different colors to represent different parts of a plant. This will be the main component in the list within the Node and will just be drawn.
