POLLARDING Meaning and
Definition
-
Pollarding is a forestry practice commonly used to manage and control the growth of certain tree species. It involves the regular cutting back or pruning of a tree's upper branches or limbs, typically removing them at a certain height above the ground. This technique is often implemented to achieve a desired tree shape or size, maintain the health of the tree, or harvest wood for various purposes.
The process of pollarding generally starts when the tree is young, with regular, periodic pruning usually occurring every few years. By cutting off the upper branches, the tree is encouraged to produce new shoots and branches from the main trunk or lower branches. These new growths are relatively fast-growing and can be utilized for fodder, firewood, or other practical purposes. As the tree continues to grow, this cycle of regular pruning needs to be repeated to maintain and sustain the desired form.
Pollarding can result in distinctive tree forms, often characterized by a bulbous or swollen section where the tree has been regularly cut. This technique is commonly employed in urban landscapes, parks, and gardens, as well as for woody vegetation management along roadsides or in agricultural settings.
In addition to its practical uses, pollarding can also offer benefits such as prolonging the lifespan of certain species, reducing the risk of tree failure, promoting biodiversity, and enhancing visual appeal in landscape design.

Etymology of POLLARDING
The word "pollarding" derives from the Middle English word "polle", which means "head" or "top". The term originally referred to the cutting off or pruning of the upper branches or top part of a tree. The Old French word "polart" or "polard" has a similar meaning. The term eventually evolved into "pollarding" in English, which specifically describes the practice of pruning or cutting back trees to encourage growth of new shoots.
