Pollarding (tree pruning) – a rare and accuracy tree lopping & tree removal Northgate method
First understand what this method is as there are countless forms of poor tree pruning called pollarding (tree pruning), which is just not the case, they are topping or tree lopping and covered later.
Likewise it is very important you understand the species that it applies also, not all trees can take it. Usually the species are deciduous (decline leaves for winter) and due to the fact that pollarding (tree pruning) eliminates all development it’s excellent to have a species that a minimum of has actually become accustomed to being defoliated or the tree lopping. These deciduous trees save power for the spring ruptured of leaves and shoots so they are better able to recuperate from a 100% prune. Several of the ideal species are willow, lime, ash, area maple, holly, hornbeam, oak, plane and beech. See something familiar? You do not grow those up right here! We‘re in a subtropical environment not temperate.
Pollarding (tree pruning) is also begun on young trees, it’s not what you do to a fully grown 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 factor of origin, the pollard head. You do not cut off any collars or pollard heads, you cut simply outside them. New stems grow from the pollard head. The trees need to have this repeated each year or two. The initial reason for this pruning was to keep a routine supply of wood and fodder every year from the same trees and to also include the dimension and kind of trees. Properly done to the ideal species doesn’t seem to lower the life-span giving it started at a very early age.
The pollard heads are really difficult (woundwood) and also packed with power as a storage factor simply near the wound for support and to provide new development. Degeneration rarely advances much past the pollard head.
You’ll see some attempts at this however I can honestly claim the last time I saw a proper pollarded tree in the real world was some twenty years earlier in Adelaide, it was a London Plane tree. Some people try to exercise this on their Crepe Myrtles however they do not have the strategy right neither do they usually start it on a young specimen. My guidance is avoid it and leave it to an expert
