Hi,

I know of only 1 method, I'm affraid: "Pinching till 'yer fingers ache !"

Good growing food + steady pinching creates lots of new buds
and foliage, thus creating and filling up the foliage pads.
Mind You, every now and again pinching must go deeper
and be accompanied by thinning out the foliage as well, in order
to keep the pads nicely flat and not to end up with real
thick ("high") and almost round foliage pads.

The second picture shows a very nice tree indeed, but nevertheless
it's slowly heading towards that problem, especially in the top . . .
