Today’s episode takes us into the world of pollarding, a classic pruning technique that’s still relevant in modern arboriculture. We explore the difference between pollarding and topping, explain why the term “pollard” can be misunderstood, and discuss its advantages, especially in urban environments. You’ll also learn about the right timing for pruning, how to approach neglected pollards, and what makes a tree suitable for this technique. Whether you’re maintaining old pollards or considering starting new ones, this episode provides essential insights for effective and respectful tree care
