What is Tree Pollarding?

Tree pollarding is a pruning technique that involves cutting back a tree’s upper branches to promote dense, new growth. This method controls tree size, maintains structure, and is particularly useful for urban environments or areas with height restrictions.

Typically done when the tree is young, pollarding becomes part of a long-term cycle where regrowth is regularly pruned back to the same points. This helps maintain the tree’s shape and prevents it from becoming top-heavy or unsafe.
