Collections: Pollarded Trees
The collection presents a variety of deciduous trees that have
been kept small and compact.
Pollarding has been used for centuries in Europe and part of Asia,
primarily in formal gardens. This high maintenance style of pruning
reduces the size of a tree’s crown through repeated, annual planned
cuts at the same branch location. It takes our arborist about
two weeks in late fall to maintain the collection which originated
with the Bartlett Tree Expert Company. The small size of the
trees is an aid to research as it makes applications of new and different
disease treatments easy to apply and convenient to monitor.
