Delonix regia - Royal Poinciana - seeds

Plant form refers to the natural growth pattern and shape of a plant when it is allowed to grow without any restrictions or interventions. Many plants will develop into their full, unrestricted forms if they are not pruned or trimmed. However, it is possible to manage the size and shape of a plant by trimming. This is useful for keeping plants smaller or encouraging them to thrive in large container.

Trimming fruit trees not only keeps the fruit within easy reach but also helps prevent wildlife from being attracted and reduces the amount of fruit that falls and rots on the ground. Additionally, in hurricane-prone areas like Florida, it's highly recommended to trim trees to prevent damage to the trees and nearby structures during storms.
