Plant cells have large vacuoles, and these can be used for either storage of useful compounds, or the storage of waste substances - often accumulating at concentrations that lead to crystal formation in the vacuole.

Plants can also store the waste in organs that are destined to fall off (like autumn leaves) or die off (like the leaves and stalk of a bluebell which is dying back in the summer,leaving the bulb underground.
