    I was given a small lavender tree and wondered if I can encourage it to mound instead of having a lollipop look?

    You can shear the newer sections annually at the right times of the year (do a search on the web for "lavender pruning") to promote density but you can't cut into old hard wood - like brooms and heathers these do not come back well from leafless or nearly so stems.
