This will redirect the sap flow to the ancillary buds below and force them into growth giving more shoots but delaying flowering.

Removing a plant's terminal bud may result in the promotion of lateral bud growth, causing the plant to become bushier. This can also affect the main stem's growth pattern, possibly leading to reduced vertical growth. Additionally, the plant may focus its energy on developing side shoots instead of growing taller.
