What Is Tree Pollarding And Can It Help Tree pollarding is the process of removing most of the branches from a tree, taking the cuts right back to the main knuckle or the trunk of a tree. Normally a service we perform on younger trees over mature trees, the process is usually carried out every year or two to ensure the tree doesn’t outgrow its surroundings. Ideally, tree pollarding should be done in late winter to early spring, but really it can be done all summer. We avoid pollarding in the autumn as there’s a higher chance of decay and rot getting into the cuts as the trees have stopped growing and the weather is damp and cold.
