Question 1

What is topping and why is it not recommended?

Accepted Answer

Topping is the practice of cutting off the crown of a tree to significantly reduce its height. While some may practice it, it is not an effective or responsible option. Topping causes significant stress to trees, making them vulnerable to insects, diseases, and rot. After topping, the tree produces fast-growing suckers that are weakly attached to the trunk, making the tree more dangerous than before.
