Root and shoot pruning affect the growth of transplanted holly plants. Root pruning reduces shoot growth more than root growth, causing water deficits. Shoot pruning reduces root growth without affecting shoot growth. Changes in tissue water content due to pruning lead to decreased growth. Root growth is mainly influenced by growth processes, while shoot growth is affected by both growth processes and plant water levels.
