โ๏ธ Topping a Tree May Seem Like a Quick FixโBut It Can Create Bigger Problems
Many homeowners believe cutting the top out of a tree will make it safer or smaller. Unfortunately, topping often does the opposite.
When a tree is topped:
โ Large wounds are left exposed
โ Decay and disease can enter the tree
โ Weak, fast-growing sprouts develop
โ The tree becomes more hazardous over time
โ The natural beauty of the tree is destroyed
A properly pruned tree can be reduced, thinned, or structurally improved while maintaining its health and strength.
Before making drastic cuts, have a professional evaluate your tree and discuss the best options.
๐ณ Healthy trees don't need to be toppedโthey need proper pruning.
