disbudded

Had buds trimmed

Disbudded describes something that has had its buds removed.

In horticulture, roses and other plants are disbudded to direct energy toward fewer, larger blooms: The disbudded stems produced prize-winning flowers.

In livestock management, young goats and cattle are disbudded—their horn buds destroyed early to prevent horn growth.
