Tree lopping is the term used to describe the process of pruning various tree sections. The procedure of lopping may include the removal of branches and limbs as well as trunk pruning. There are two conflicting schools of thought regarding the practice of lopping, with some individuals believing it is advantageous and others believing it should be avoided at all costs.

Tree lopping is one part of the landscaping process. The purpose of lopping trees in this instance is to reshape existing trees so they will blend in with the overall landscape design. This might involve chopping off branches and limbs to give the tree a different shape. When a tree is lopped, all of its limbs and branches as well as a portion of its trunk may be removed to lower the tree’s height. Guide wires are frequently used when new branches are first forming to train them to grow in the correct directions.

This drastic approach may occasionally be used to restore trees that have been struck by lightning or damaged by another natural disaster, but there may be instances when the tree dies and no amount of lopping or pruning will help it return to its previous state. The objective in this case is to remove the portion of the damaged tree that is no longer alive and encourage the growth of the remaining area. In some cases, the tree will begin to grow new leaves and branches, slowly regaining its strength and stature. On rare occasions, tree cutting is done to enhance a property without regard to the landscape. For instance, if a tree obstructs a lovely view from the inside of the house, it might be cut down. The tree may be too close to the house, which would explain why there are leaves on the roof. A tree may need to be cut down in order to make room for a swimming pool. Some homeowners decide to have their trees cut down to lessen the possibility that one would fall on their property during inclement weather.

Others are not as convinced that cutting down trees is advantageous, even though many people hold this belief. When trees are cut down during particular times of the year, there is a greater likelihood that the entire tree will suffer trauma and die. Additionally, there is a chance that the wounds won’t heal and callus, leaving the tree more susceptible to decay and other bacteria and fungi that could ultimately cause the remaining parts of the tree to rot. Depending on the type of tree, the new growth that emerges from the cut may or may not be as strong as the tree overall. The result of this is that the tree will never regain its former splendour. Furthermore, the process of tree lopping must be repeated every new season because new growth can occasionally appear very quickly. This is especially true when trees are carved as elements of a larger landscape design.
