For years the lilac in our backyard was known as a bush. But, it grew and grew and now that it towers more than 14 metres in the air it is a tree, a lilac tree.
There's a reason gardeners trim back plants regularly. Stop and many plants will grow until they no longer fit in their allotted spot in the garden or yard.
Dwarf Blue Spruce trees may be kept trimmed and small for years but halt the trimming and the little tree will no longer be little.
One learns very quickly that many a dwarf tree is not a dwarf at all. Stop the trimming and you learn very quickly that it was merely stunted.
