Cutting branches and tree topping. | Yulianto

While a bad haircut isn’t the end of the world for us, it can be for trees! 🌲 Tree topping is the indiscriminate removal of living and dead branches and limbs from the top and sides of a tree’s canopy. The practice can be detrimental to the long-term health of a tree and can even result in a tree’s death.
