What is the difference between tree topping and tree pruning?
The difference between tree topping and tree pruning lies in their methods and impact on tree health:
• Tree Pruning: This is a targeted and careful process that removes dead, damaged, or unnecessary branches to improve tree health, structure, and appearance. It promotes new growth while maintaining the tree's natural shape and vitality.
• Tree Topping: This involves cutting the tree's top or removing large canopy sections, often leaving stubs. Topping is typically done to reduce tree height, but it is harmful to the tree. It weakens the structure, invites pests and diseases, and can lead to long-term decline.
Pruning is beneficial, whereas topping is generally discouraged due to its negative effects on tree health and stability.
