I thought that pruning does stop the roots growing.

The tree tries to balance roots and branches
so if a lot of branches are pruned off
it will put all its effort into growing above ground.

Am i right or wrong?

(pruning also reduces the shade / shadows !)

But pruning branches doesn't shrink its existing root spread - even if
were not to grows any more roots at all.
