[CANUFNET] Restricting Tree Height

[James Urban]

I have seen this in Europe (italy particularly) as a common technique.  While they my be doing it slightly better than American tree toppers it sure looked more like topping than pollarding to me.

Our corporate media person had someone contact them to see if we in Saskatoon were going to be doing anything about restricting the height of trees in our city.  They claim that some municipalities are already doing this.  I have never heard of this.  Has anyone out there heard of this?  I’d really like to know and some of the history behind this.
