Pollarding definition

Pollarding means a pruning system that maintains crown size by initial heading of branches on young trees, followed by removal of shoots to their point of origin at appropriate intervals without disturbing the resulting pollarding head.
Pollarding means a pruning technique performed on trees involving the pruning, every year or two, of limbs back to the same location on a main branch. A knob will develop at that location giving the tree a formal look in the summer and in winter a look of branches with a "fist" or knob at the end. The technique is common in Europe and is done on trees early in the growth stage. It is a very high maintenance technique requiring pruning every year or two.
