ABSTRACT:
A device and method are provided for restricting the cross sectional area of bark and new wood at a selected level in a growing stem by confining growth to a slot or slots delineated by edges of hard material functioning as a template so as to produce an insufficiency of media, or bottleneck, for translocation of metabolities, thereby to induce dwarfing and enhance formation of flowers, fruit, and seeds, similar in some respects to the effects of girdling.
