| Definition | Pruning is a kind of horticultural and silvicultural measure for plant growth control which is used to control the growth of plants. It involves the selective removal of parts of a plant by cutting the branches, twigs, buds, or roots. Reasons to prune plants include deadwood removal, shaping (by controlling or directing growth), improving or maintaining health, reducing risk from falling branches, preparing nursery specimens for transplanting, and both harvesting and increasing the yield or quality of flowers and fruits. It is often used in combination with sustaining installation on permanent woody crops and aims at keeping the branches low for easier fruit harvest and also to stimulate the plant´s crop or biomass production. |
