Pollarding (tree pruning) – an uncommon and precision tree lopping & tree removal Lota technique
First understand what this method is as there are countless types of bad tree pruning called pollarding (tree pruning), which is simply not the instance, they are topping or tree lopping and covered later.
Additionally it is very important you understand the varieties that it uses as well, not all trees can take it. Generally the varieties are deciduous (decline leaves for winter months) and because pollarding (tree pruning) gets rid of all growth it’s good to have a species that at least has actually ended up being familiar with being defoliated or the tree lopping. These deciduous trees store energy for the springtime burst of leaves and shoots so they are much better able to recover from a 100% prune. Several of the suitable varieties are willow, lime, ash, area maple, holly, hornbeam, oak, plane and beech. See something acquainted? You do not expand those up right here! We remain in a subtropical environment not temperate.
Pollarding (tree pruning) is also commenced on young trees, it’s not what you do to a mature tree. It’s a typical method to commence pollarding (tree pruning) at stem diameters of 75mm to 100mm.
Pollarding (tree pruning) is the removal of all stems back to their point of beginning, the pollard head. You do not cut off any collars or pollard heads, you cut just outside them. New stems expand from the pollard head. The trees need to have this repeated yearly or 2. The original reason for this pruning was to maintain a regular supply of wood and fodder every year from the very same trees and to also include the dimension and kind of trees. Appropriately done to the best varieties doesn’t seem to lower the lifespan providing it began at an early age.
The pollard heads are very difficult (woundwood) and also packed with energy as a storage space point just near the injury for defence and to supply brand-new growth. Decay seldom developments a lot past the pollard head.
You’ll see some attempts at this but I can truthfully say the last time I saw a proper pollarded tree in reality was some twenty years back in Adelaide, it was a London Aircraft tree. Some people try to exercise this on their Crepe Myrtles but they do not have the technique right neither do they usually start it on a young sampling. My advice is avoid it and leave it to a specialist

The “arborist” made that analysis in a couple of minutes of swiftly roaming around the yard, no defects on a few of the trees. Upon second opinion we chose tree removal on 3 trees, (one was dead) and pruned a few of the others with a couple having no demand for anything.
