Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pruning shoot tips helps stimulate lateral branch growth because it removes the apical dominance, which is the suppression of lateral branches by the terminal bud. This allows for the growth of lateral branches and a bushier plant. Deep watering, fertilizing, treating with auxins, and feeding nutrients may all aid in overall plant growth, but they do not specifically target lateral branching.
