Topping
Topping refers to the act of removing the top part of a tree’s canopy, typically to control its size or shape. However, it’s highly discouraged in the arborist community due to the harm it can cause to trees. Topping can lead to a range of issues, including stress, decay, and an higher risk of disease and pest infestations. At our company, we do not recommend topping as a viable option for tree management. Rather, our arborists are trained to utilize proper pruning techniques that preserve tree health and promote proper growth. We work closely with our customers to understand their tree management goals and provide expert guidance on the best practices to achieve them, while also prioritizing the health and safety of their trees.
Topping Trees: What Happens to the Health of Your Trees?
Trees are beautiful and an essential element of our environment however, sometimes they require trimming or cut to meet a variety of reasons. However, cutting the uppermost part of the tree is an issue that has raised controversy, with some people believing it will keep the tree alive, while others think it will ultimately result in its demise.
