Tree Lopping

Tree Lopping Yarra Ranges

Tree lopping is a common term used by most people looking to trim or prune a tree. We no longer use this term as a set of standards has now been developed for this service – Australian Standards 4373-2007 “Pruning of Amenity Trees. This ensures the correct procedures are used to help remove diseased limbs from a tree and allow the tree to be healthy for many years.

Trees that are actually lopped can become dangerous. When new growths begin to form known as Epicormic growths, they are poorly attached to the tree and become prone to breaking and falling.

Tree lopping can cause stress to a tree that makes it vulnerable to disease, decay and termites. Removing more than 50 percent of the tree canopy will starve the tree of energy to generate new foliage.

It’s important to show the difference between lopping and pruning to help our customers understand the difference and benefits of our tree services.
