Tree topping is when the top of a tree gets sliced off in a flat cut. It looks fast and cheap.
It's also one of the worst things you can do to a tree.
What happens after topping:
❌ Multiple weak shoots erupt at the cut
❌ Decay enters the open wound
❌ Regrowth is denser, heavier, and more storm-prone
❌ Tree's structure is permanently weakened
❌ Often costs MORE in the long run
Proper crown reduction by an arborist achieves the same height goal - without destroying the tree.
