unpruned
Left to grow
Unpruned describes plants, especially trees and shrubs, that have not been trimmed or cut back to control their growth or shape.
An unpruned rosebush grows wild and sprawling, while an unpruned fruit tree may produce less desirable harvests.
The term extends to anything that hasn't been edited or reduced: unpruned data sets contain all original entries, and unpruned prose retains passages that might otherwise be cut for length or clarity.
