Tree pollarding crucial to tree health and appearance.
Kenyon Cutters provide professional tree pollarding services, assisting land and garden owners across Warrington and surrounding areas.
What exactly is pollarding and what are it’s benefits?
Pollarding is a method of pruning that keeps trees and shrubs smaller than they would naturally grow. Regular pollarding will restrict the height and growth of a tree and essentially involves removal of all lea- bearing branches leaving behind the stem and the scaffold of the tree form. All of which promotes the growth of a dense head of foliage on branches.
This technique has been used for centuries and offers several important benefits.
Tree pollarding can help maintain the health and longevity of trees. By removing older, potentially diseased, or damaged branches, pollarding stimulates new growth and reduces the risk of disease and pest infestation.
In urban and agricultural settings, controlling the size of trees is crucial.
Pollarding helps keep trees at a manageable height, preventing them from interfering with power lines, buildings, or other structures.
Regular pollarding can improve the aesthetic appeal of trees, creating a uniform and attractive appearance. It also promotes dense foliage, which can provide better shade and cooling effects in urban environments.
Pollarded trees can often develop unique structures that provide habitats for various wildlife species, including birds, insects, and small mammals. The cavities and crevices formed can become important ecological niches.
Traditional landscapes featuring pollarded trees contribute to the historical and cultural identity of an area and is a valuable tree management practice that supports both ecological and human needs, ensuring the sustainable use and health of tree populations in various environments
