pruning

when you prune

and your removing the tips ... when you do that your sending the growth compounds down to the segment below it establishing that as the leader... and that stimulates the majority of the growth to happen there... so you want to do it so it compliments the shape

of the bush or plant and the branch is aiming towards the outside
of the plant in the direction you want it to go
