Topping is a practice that increases tree risk.
Topping is not an acceptable tree pruning method. More👇🏻

Hey it's Tuesday! That means it time for our first installment of 'DON'T TOP TUESDAYS'. Did you know that topping is bad for your trees? It is not even an ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) approved pruning practice. Topping is the indiscriminate cutting of tree branches to stubs or to lateral branches that are not large enough to assume the terminal role.
Topping is often used to reduce the size of a tree. Homeowners may feel a large tree poses a risk to their property; however, topping is not a viable method of height reduction and may increase risk in the long term. [ISA, (2021), Why Topping Hurs Trees, Treesaregood.org, https://www.treesaregood.org/Portals/0/TreesAreGood_Why%20Topping%20Hurts_0321.pdf,] follow this link to a great article on topping from ISA. Over the next few weeks, we will explore the negatives of topping trees and the alternatives.
