WHAT IS POLLARDING?

Pollarding is a tree management technique where the upper branches of a tree are regularly cut back to a set height. This encourages dense, controlled regrowth and keeps the tree from becoming too large or unruly. It’s a traditional method used for both practical and aesthetic reasons.

Key Benefits of Pollarding:

Controls size and shape of the tree

Prevents overgrowth in confined spaces (like gardens or near buildings)

Encourages healthy new growth

Reduces risk of falling branches

Helps maintain light and visibility

Pollarding is commonly used in urban areas and along streets, but it can be useful in private gardens too—especially for species like lime, plane, willow, or poplar.

It’s important that pollarding is carried out by trained professionals, as incorrect cuts or poor timing can weaken the tree or cause long-term damage.
