| Definition | Pruning is a horticultural and silvicultural method involving the selective removal of certain parts of a plant, such as branches, buds, or roots. Pruning is applied with the aim of either influence the growth form of a plant, remove dead or damaged parts of the plant, or to raise the production of fruit. In the context of silviculture, pruning helps also to create greater timber value by reducing the number of branches and knots, and to make the tree focus in vertical growth or crown development. |
