What is the effect of removal of inner laterals and foliage along a scaffold?

  1. Lion-tailing

  2. Subordination

  3. Included Bark

  4. Branch collar

The correct answer is: Lion-tailing

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is B. Subordination The process of removing inner laterals and foliage along a scaffold is known as subordination. This technique allows for better light exposure and airflow to the scaffolding structure, resulting in healthier and stronger tree growth. Lion-tailing, on the other hand, refers to the excessive removal of inner branches and foliage, which can weaken a tree's structure and make it more prone to damage. Included bark and branch collars are also not effects of removing inner laterals and foliage.
