Tree Pollarding - FAQs

Tree pollarding is a pruning technique that involves the full removal of the branches of a tree to promote a dense canopy and control the height. The branches are pruned back to the main trunk or to stubs, resulting in a distinctive, often elevated, “pollard head.”
Tree pollarding is typically done for several reasons, including managing the size of trees in urban environments, controlling growth near power lines or structures, rejuvenating overgrown trees, and promoting dense foliage for ornamental or functional purposes.
The optimal time for tree pollarding depends on the species and local climate. In general, it’s recommended to pollard deciduous trees during late winter or early spring, while they are dormant. This timing minimises stress on the tree and allows for vigorous regrowth during the growing season.
When performed correctly by skilled arborists, tree pollarding is not inherently harmful to the health of the tree. However, improper pollarding techniques, such as cutting too close to the trunk or removing too much foliage, can weaken the tree and lead to decay, disease, or structural issues. It’s essential to hire experienced professionals to ensure proper pollarding practices.
The frequency of tree pollarding varies depending on factors such as tree species, growth rate, and desired aesthetics. Some fast-growing species may require pollarding every year to maintain size and shape, while others may only need pollarding every 5-10 years. Regular inspections by arborists can determine the appropriate pollarding schedule for individual trees.
