What is pollarding?
Pollarding is a process that has been used since medieval times to rejuvenate trees and encourage new growth, to prevent trees from outgrowing their local environment, to reduce the amount of shade a tree casts and, in urban areas, to prevent damage that overgrown trees may cause to public structures such as overhead cables. Pollarding keeps trees and shrubs smaller than they would naturally grow by removing the top of a tree at a specific height, this also encourages multi-stem branching by promoting the growth of a dense head of foliage and branches.

How often do you pollard a tree?
This depends entirely on the species and the cycle that is required dependant on your reasons for pollarding. Every 3-5 years would be the standard cycle but can be left for longerWhat's the difference between coppicing and pollarding?
Although coppicing and pollarding work towards the same goal, primarily to encourage new growth in the spring, their processes differ. Coppicing involves cutting young tree stems down to a foot or less from ground level to encourage new shoots to form, whereas pollarding is used to encourage lateral branch growth and to control the height of a tree or shrub.
What is the difference between pollarding and topping?
Although the terms are used interchangeably, pollarding and topping are not the same. Topping is a process completed out of expediency, whereas pollarding considers the design and health of the trees and shrubs.
