| Preferred label | Pollarding |
| Definition | Pollarding is similar to coppicing, with the difference that the tree is not cut near ground level, but a few meters above ground. The effect of pollarding causes the tree to re-sprout at the head level new thin shoots. The purpose behind this method is to make the tree produce biomass with a lot of leafs which can be used as fodder or stray. Nowadays, it is also applied for esthetic reasons, e.g. along alleys or in urban green areas. With pollarding, the plant can be held in a more or less juvenile state, whereas the trunk can have a high age. |
