pollarding
Examples
“As well as coppicing, other trees were pollarded, or lopped about 6 ft up the trunk so that the resulting growth was beyond the reach⟳ of grazing animals. Pollarding lengthens the life of trees, and the frequently made estimate⟳ '1,000 years old' could well be true of some sturdy old trunks.”
