I think the bunch size will be larger than restricting its roots, but I could be wrong.

This is similar to a horizontal cut but it's a vertical cut and instead of setting the plant back a bit it shortens the vegetative phase but not nearly as short as reducing the root zone does.
It works well if you have a short growing season.
