An arborist pruning a tree near the Statue of Liberty. Pruning in an urban setting is crucial due to the tree being in drastically different conditions than where they naturally grow. [3] Arborists, orchardists, and gardeners use various garden tools and tree cutting tools designed for the purpose, such as secateurs, loppers, handsaws, or ...
Daisugi trees Daisugi trees at Ryōan-ji Daisugi ( 台杉 ) is a Japanese technique related to pollarding , used on Cryptomeria ( sugi ) trees. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The term roughly translates to "platform cedar".
Pollarding tends to make trees live longer by maintaining them in a partially juvenile state and by reducing the weight and windage of the top part of the tree. [6] Older pollards often become hollow, so it can be difficult to determine age accurately. Pollards tend to grow slowly, with denser growth-rings in the years immediately after cutting.
New growth emerges, and after a number of years, the coppiced trees are harvested, and the cycle begins anew. Pollarding is a similar process carried out at a higher level on the tree in order to prevent grazing animals from eating new shoots. [1] Daisugi (台杉, where sugi refers to Japanese cedar), is a similar Japanese technique. [2] [3]
If a large tree is unable to produce enough sugars to feed the roots, it will slowly die from starvation. [4] Some people have been known to top trees in order to stimulate new growth. When a tree is topped, many adventitious shoots, known as suckers begin to grow from the wound. This is the tree's response to the sudden loss of leaves.

Instant tree shaping [3] [2] [15] is a widely used method. [3] It uses mature trees, perhaps 6–12 ft. (2–3.5 m) long [5] [4]: 196 and 3-4in (7.6–10 cm) in trunk diameter. [5] [4]: 172 An instantaneous form is created by bending, weaving and sometimes cutting or marking the trees into the desired shape. Then the shaping is held in place ...
