Pollarding (tree pruning) is the removal of all stems back to their point of beginning, the pollard head. You do not remove any type of collars or pollard heads, you cut simply outside them. New stems expand from the pollard head. The trees need to have this duplicated every year or 2. The initial reason for this pruning was to keep a routine supply of timber and straw each year from the same trees and to additionally contain the dimension and form of trees. Appropriately done to the best varieties does not seem to reduce the lifespan giving it started at a very early age.
The pollard heads are extremely tough (woundwood) and additionally packed with power as a storage point simply near the injury for protection and to supply brand-new development. Decay hardly ever advancements much past the pollard head.
