Animation of growth without pruning
The clip shows how a tree could grow without any pruning. The tree will grow beginning as a young nursery liner through about year 10 or 15. Notice that several codominant (equal-sized) stems develop as the tree grows. This makes the tree weaker than trees that grow with one stem or trunk.
