Are you always worried about whether your trees will withstand the stormy weather? Instead of waiting for a tree branch to break a window or take out your roof, prevent the branches from destroying your home with a simple pruning tip.

Stemming the tree roots is an easy way to keep a tree’s branches away from your home and your neighbor’s home. This pruning process is called pollarding. It’s a simple procedure that stops the root balls of trees from growing. All you need to do is cut the branches back from the trunk.

You will end up with straight trees that have thin branches at the top. You can use the excess wood to build a fence or provide your home with renewable heating. A pollard tree looks well manicured, and it might save you from costly repairs in the future, especially if you’re in an area that commonly gets strong winds or large amounts of snow.
