Removal of the terminal portion of shoot leaving basal portion intact is called:

  • A.thinning
  • B.girdling
  • C.heading back
  • D.notching

Answer: C

Heading back is the removal of the terminal portion of a shoot, leaving the basal portion intact, which makes the shoot branch lower down.

Thinning removes a whole shoot, girdling removes a ring of bark, and notching cuts a notch above a bud.

Heading back is done to make a tree branch lower down and to keep it within bounds. Cutting a shoot back to a bud makes the buds below grow into new shoots.
