Pollarding (tree pruning) – a rare and precision tree lopping & tree removal Gungahlin technique
First understand what this technique is as there are many kinds of bad tree pruning called pollarding (tree pruning), which is simply not the situation, they are covering or tree lopping and covered later on.
Additionally it is essential you understand the species that it uses as well, not all trees can take it. Usually the species are deciduous (drop leaves for winter) and since pollarding (tree pruning) eliminates all growth it’s great to have a varieties that at the very least has actually come to be accustomed to being defoliated or the tree lopping. These deciduous trees store power for the springtime ruptured of fallen leaves and fires so they are better able to recover from a 100% prune. A few of the appropriate species are willow, lime, ash, field maple, holly, hornbeam, oak, aircraft and beech. See something acquainted? You don’t expand those up right here! We‘re in a subtropical environment not temperate.
Pollarding (tree pruning) is additionally commenced on young trees, it’s not what you do to a fully grown tree. It’s a typical technique to begin pollarding (tree pruning) at stem sizes of 75mm to 100mm.
Pollarding (tree pruning) is the removal of all stems back to their factor of beginning, the pollard head. You do not remove any type of collars or pollard heads, you reduced simply outside them. New stems expand from the pollard head. The trees have to have this repeated each year or two. The initial reason for this pruning was to keep a regular supply of wood and straw every year from the exact same trees and to additionally have the dimension and form of trees. Correctly done to the right species doesn’t appear to decrease the life expectancy offering it started at an early age.
The pollard heads are extremely hard (woundwood) and additionally loaded with power as a storage space factor simply near the wound for protection and to provide brand-new growth. Decay seldom advances much past the pollard head.
You’ll see some attempts at this but I can honestly state the last time I saw a proper pollarded tree in reality was some twenty years ago in Adelaide, it was a London Plane tree. Some people attempt to practice this on their Crepe Myrtles but they don’t have the technique right nor do they usually start it on a young sampling. My advice is avoid it and leave it to a specialist
