from an article on foliage biomass distribution:
For less dominant
trees, branch foliage tended to be restricted more to the
outer part of the branch (Fig. 1c). Large-crowned trees had
their foliage shifted to the outer part of the branch, and in
contrast, small-crowned trees sustained more foliage at inner
part of branch
