Auxin activity controls plant stem cell function. Here the authors show that in the cambium, moderate auxin activity restricts cambial stem cell number via ARF5-dependent repression of the stem‐cell‐promoting factor WOX4, while ARF3 and ARF4 promote cambial activity outside of the WOX4‐expression domain.
