Editor: Nice one. Some dicts don't even have an entry for it, while others say "branch and trunk" or "branch and stem". But in actual usage it seems it often does mean simply "branch".

我的生命誌裡曾有一個枯死的枝幹,它的枯死是我今日的命運,
The record of my life will have a branch that is dry and withered. Its death is my fate today.

有人忙著以海邊植物銀合歡的枝幹,來開發鳥巢工藝品......。
others are occupied making artificial bird nests from silver acacia branches.

才剛剛採收完,梨樹枝幹上又開始長出白色和紅色的梨花。
Right after the picking is finished white and red pear flowers begin growing on the tree branches.

大門右側,樹葉落盡的枝幹上,坐著一隻凝睇遠方的銅雕猴子,
one finds to the right of the main gates, amidst tree branches now bare of their leaves, a bronze sculpture of a monkey gazing off into the distance,

後來工友因為「怕學生撞到頭」竟把枝幹鋸掉。
But later, groundskeepers sawed the branches off, fearing students might hit their heads.
