Clarifying Certain Pruning Terminology: Thinning, Heading, Pollarding    (View PDF)

Richard W. Harris

Abstract: Confusion and disagreement exist as to the definition of several commonly used pruning terms. One of the problems has been that the different purposes and types of pruning have not been clearly distinguished. Pruning terms should convey the purpose of a practice and should indicate that a given practice will usually result in a specific plant response or predictable tree form.
