Or maybe you need to open the canopy or snip off crossing branches. It's frustrating when there's a branch you can't get to it. Ladders are fine, but pruning requires stability and balance. Some clever person came up with pole pruners.

Seeds bred by crossing two purebred inbred lines, to produce plants of exceptional vigor and uniformity.
Filament
Thread - like stem on which the pollen bearing anther is held. See Anther.
The floribunda rose bushes came about by crossing polyantha roses with hybrid tea rose bushes. Some of my favorite Floribunda rose bushes are:
Betty Boop rose
Tuscan Sun rose
Honey Bouquet rose
Day Breaker rose
Hot Cocoa rose ...
F1, F2, F3, etc.: the F1 generation is the result of crossing two different varieties; a cross of two F1 plants produces F2 seed; and so on.

Briefly, with established trees this entails only the removal of crowded or crossing branches, thinning out unwanted shoots, and taking out any dead wood.
began an extensive breeding program on crape myrtles, crossing the L. faurei with L. indica.
John makes them by crisscrossing large logs on the bottom to create hollow spaces and then piling smaller, brushier branches on top. The piles eventually decompose, become covered with vines, and blend into the landscape.

To do this, bring the twine around the back of the stake, crossing it in an "X" between the plant and the stake. Then tie it loosely around the coleus stem. Add heavier and taller stakes each time you move the plant up to a larger container.
Thin out crowded and crossing twigs. Choose limbs to form another layer of main structural branches above the previous layers, and remove competing branches. Trim back by two-thirds the new growth at branch ends and from the central trunk (leader).
Also remove any crossing or rubbing branches that are causing obstruction. Avoid pruning members of the Prunus family (ornamental cherries and plums). These should only be pruned in the summer as they are prone to attack from silver leaf.
