Question
How does pruning help in making the hedge dense ?
Options
A.It frees axillary buds from apical dominance
B.The apical shoot grows faster after pruning
C.It releases wound hormones
D.It induces the differentiation of new shoots from the rootstock
Solution
Pruning help in making the hedge dense as It frees axillary buds from apical dominance. In fact, the apices of the plant axis (eg, shoot apex) has the highest concentration of auxin which suppresses the axillary buds while promotes the growth of apical bud. When the shoot apex is cut down through pruning, the axillary buds grow and the hedge becomes dende.
