Pros and Cons to Tree Lopping, Brisbane

Tree lopping is the simple process of trimming sections of a tree. It may sound like a small enough task, but it actually involves cutting away branches and in some cases reducing the size of the trunk without compromising on the health of the tree. Tree lopping Brisbane or anywhere else has two sets of opinions. Some believe that it is not really good for the tree, while others believe it to be a necessity.

Tree lopping takes place under different circumstances. One is in the process of landscaping. The basic idea here is getting trees to conform in terms of shape to the overall design perceived for landscaping. Here branches are trimmed and limbs are cut down to alter the shape of the tree. If the main idea is to reduce the height of the tree, then lopping will need to be done to the top of the branches and the limbs. As and when new branches begin to grow, they are trimmed down. Sometimes grid wires are used to alter the course in which the branches grow. This is to enhance aesthetic appeal.

Lopping is also used to save trees that may have been partially destroyed for whatever reason. In such cases, the part of the tree that is dead is lopped off and the other part is trained to grow in a different direction. In the long run the tree will grow new branches and foliage and begin to thrive again. There are times when tree lopping is necessary, especially when trees grow dangerously close to homes or run the possibility of damaging property and hurting people. In such cases, lopping is essential.

Those who are against the concept of tree lopping feel that in particular seasons, if trees are lopped they may die out. The trauma alone can kill these trees. There are also chances that in the places the tree has been lopped, it does not heal and therefore will not grow back well. In such cases, the tree may be susceptible to illnesses, bacteria and other such elements.

There are also some cases where the new sprouts that come in the place where the tree has been cut, is not as strong as the earlier branches and may die out soon enough. This can really mar the beauty of the tree. Tree lopping has to be done by experts if you want the end result to be good and for your tree to be in good condition.
