The Dangers of Tree Topping
Tree topping has the potential to ruin
your tree’s growth and make it more prone to diseases. Tree topping is a

shorter and cutting the head of the tree partially or however much requested.
The true importance of a professional arborist comes in when you realize what a
danger a topped tree can be. Topped trees attract pests and disease more
easily, not only that its growth becomes stunted and unnatural in terms of
shape of branches. This is unhealthy for the tree. These more brittle branches
that start to grow are weaker and less conformed to the tree itself. They can
break more easily which then in turn stresses the tree and its own processes
become harder for it to do for itself.

dangers when it comes to the tree in question you wish to be topped. Not only
have that, everything that can be done to keep the tree healthy and bounce its
