Will trimming the roots of a tree miniaturise it?

Trimming the roots of a tree can limit its growth and potentially lead to a smaller overall size, but it won't necessarily miniaturize the tree in the way one might expect. While root pruning can reduce the tree's ability to absorb water and nutrients, it can also stress the tree, leading to health issues. Additionally, the tree may respond by growing new roots or adapting in ways that could counteract the intended miniaturization. Proper care and techniques are essential for achieving desired results without harming the tree.
