Pruning for den- sity applies either to in- creasing or decreasing the density of the head. In ornamental and shade trees, a compact head is fig. 159. Showing how to disbud shoots of some coniferous trees, often desirable, while in Picking out the terminal bud A in spring usually causes both the fruit trees, a head that adjacent lateral buds to develop. admits abundant light and air (Fie. 162) is important (242). 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.
