Why does trimming the top of a plant make the plant bushier?Trimming damages or removes the apical meristem which activates theaxillary meristems to grow. Trimming disrupts vertical transportroutes for water and nutrients while enhancing horizontal transportroutes. Trimming forces leaves around the vicinity of the cuts tobecome reproductive leaves. Trimming stimulates the cork cambium toproduce more secondary growth. Trimming stimulates the plant toproduce more rhizomes which results in more branches.
