Fiction: "Topping rejuve- nates the tree." Fact: Tree topping usual- ly removes so much of the tree's crown that it can un- balance an older tree's root- to-shoot ratio and temporar- ily cut off its ability to make food. When trees are topped, they will typically respond by readily growing new shoots. From that point forward they become high-maintenance. Most must be pruned reg- ularly in an attempt to re- store normal structure and growth. Pruning a tree an- nually is not environmental- ly sustainable or cost-effec- tive. Your tree will also be more susceptible to disease and insect problems. Fiction: "The tree is too big and casts too much shade, and needs to be re- duced by topping." Fact: By their very nature, trees create shade, which means you really can't plant anything underneath and expect full success. But in some instances, proper se- lective pruning, Not topping, can reduce the bulk of a tree, letting in more light and al- lowing wind to pass through the tree. Proper pruning does not stimulate regrowth, and the tree will not respond as drastically as when topped or over-thinned. A qualified arborist is trained to under- stand which kinds of cuts to make (thinning cuts, not heading or topping cuts); he or she also knows when to stop. If problems caused by a tree cannot be solved through acceptable man- agement practices, the tree should be removed and re- placed with another species or other plant material more appropriate for the site. Fiction: "Topping a tree is cheaper than having it pruned." Fact: Initially, it might seem cheaper to cut the tree in half to get the result you are looking for. But over time the tree will require more frequent maintenance, and become a danger. Drastic topping cuts cre- ate opportunities for epicor- mic shoots on the remain- ing trunk to grow quickly into large, poorly attached branches, if the tree doesn't just die outright. The poten- tial for them to break off and cause a hazard to property or people is very high. From a legal standpoint, the owner or owners of such a tree may be responsible for damages if it can be proved they were negligent. Incorrect prun- ing can cause trees to be- come hazardous and, there- fore, constitutes negligence. Fiction: "Topping is a time-tested way to prune a tree." Fact: Topping is not a standard practice, and in fact is "outlawed" by national tree care standards. Topping has always been controversial. If someone tells you they have always done it that way, it's a good bet they aren't up to speed with the latest, scien- tific tree care methods. Fiction: "A banana split with all the toppings is con- sidered a serving of fruit." Fact: We may not know diets, but we do know trees. Topping is for ice cream, not trees. So how can you reduce a tree's growth without the in- jurious effects of the "top- pings? " Consult with a pro- fessional arborist, who is bound by an industry code of ethics to provide proper pruning according to the pro- fession's tree care standards. A professional arborist can assess your landscape and work with you to deter- mine the best care for your trees. Contact the Tree Care Industry Association, a pub- lic and professional resource on trees and arboriculture. For more information visit www.tcia.org or www.treec- aretips.org.
