The Benefits:
Size Control
- Pollarding helps control the size and spread of a tree, making it a suitable option for managing trees in confined spaces or near structures.
- Aesthetic Appeal
- The repetitive pruning of branches at specific points creates a unique and distinctive crown structure that can be visually appealing in certain landscapes and urban environments.
- Increased Longevity
- When done correctly and at appropriate intervals, pollarding can promote the long-term health and longevity of certain tree species.
- Pruning Cuts and Regrowth
- During crown thinning, the pruning cuts are carefully made to minimise harm to the tree and prevent excessive regrowth. The size of the cuts is controlled to maintain the tree's health while achieving the desired thinning effect.
Things to consider
However, it's important to note that pollarding is not suitable for all tree species, and the pollard process should be performed by trained arborists who have a good understanding of tree growth and pruning techniques.
