Definition

The horticultural practice or process of removing buds from plants to direct growth and improve flowering quality.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Disbudding is where floristry meets sculpture—it's the invisible art that transforms what nature creates into what humans desire, an act repeated billions of times but rarely acknowledged by those who receive the flowers.
