Topping is the indiscriminate cutting of tree branches to stubs to reduce the size of the tree. Other names for topping include “heading,” “tipping,” “hat-racking,” and “rounding over.” Topping is perhaps the most harmful tree pruning practice known. Yet, topping remains a common practice. Home owners often feel that their trees have become too large for their property. People fear that tall trees may pose a hazard. Topping, however, is not a viable method of height reduction and certainly does not reduce the hazard. In fact, topping will make a tree more hazardous in the long run. Topping is not an acceptable pruning technique and there are better alternatives.
