For trees, growth regulators are used for a number of reasons such as increasing branching, suppressing shoot growth, increasing return bloom, removing excess fruit, or altering fruit maturity.

For trees, growth regulators are used for a number of reasons such as increasing branching, suppressing shoot growth, increasing return bloom, removing excess fruit, or altering fruit maturity.  By limiting the energy trees put into new growth, they are able to store more energy which is needed to leaf out. Trees may also appear healthier and greener as new leaves are slightly smaller and have more chlorophyll concentrated in them.
