Pollarding and tree physiology

Here's a paper looking at the impact pollarding has on trees focussing on the Italian experience over the past few hundred years based on very sound understanding of tree biology, one of the best papers I've read on the topic.

Interesting.

I read a few pages and plan to read the rest. Its important in that document to pay attention to the discussion about older trees: differentiating between pollarding throughout an old tree's life, and pollarding beginning later on in an old tree's life.

The person who wrote that, did a good job at keeping it concise and easy to understand instead of getting too technical with the vocabulary.
