Tree Pollarding In West Sussex
Tree pollarding is a method of pruning trees to control their size and height.
When pollarding a tree, we remove most upper branches and leave only a basic framework, including the trunk and a few main limbs.
Pollarding is a popular pruning choice for trees in urban environments where space is limited, and public safety is a primary concern.
While pollarding can be a useful tree management method, it can also be damaging if performed incorrectly.
West Sussex Tree Surgeons have the skill, experience and equipment necessary to pollard your trees both safely and efficiently.
Not every tree is suitable for pollarding; pollarding unsuitable trees can lead to future issues, including killing the tree entirely.
Commonly pollarded and suitable trees include London planes, maples, limes, oaks and willows.
For safety reasons, once a tree has been pollarded, it must be regularly re-pollarded every two to three years.
It’s best to pollard trees during the dormant season, usually in winter, to limit stress and allow the tree to heal in time for the growing season.
Our pollarding specialists can assess your tree’s suitability for pollarding and suggest alternative solutions if required.
