To increase density, encourage lateral branch- ing by pinching all the more prominent ter- minal growing points (Fig. ^ 160). In some <^ coniferous trees, such as the Nor- way spruce,* disbudding of the terminal shoots (Fig. 159) in spring is advisable, and in woody, plants too tall for pinching, the more. Fig. 160.
