What is Topping a Tree? 

 Topping is the indiscriminate cutting of tree branches to stubs or lateral branches that are not large enough to assume the terminal role. Other names for topping including "heading," "tipping," "hat-racking," and "rounding over." Topping is perhaps the most harmful tree pruning practice known. It is usually done to reduce the size of a tree. Often, homeowners top their trees because they feel that they have become too large for their property and are a hazard. However, topping will make a tree more hazardous in the long term and is very harmful to the health of a tree. Some reasons not to top a tree are; topping can be expensive, it makes the trees unsightly, can create hazards, can lead to sunburn, causes decay and stresses the tree. Contact an arborist before pruning your trees.
