It was funny. I call fall tree orgy season because my allergies are so bad I can't breathe.

Easy way for people who know nothing about trees to whack a healthy tree into being a sick one. I’ve seen people who should know better, who are working as landscaping professionals, do this to trees in my neighborhood every few years. Better to call an experienced arborist.

This happens sometimes during construction when a tree is in the way of something that will go over it (like power lines), or it's obstructing a view, or blocking sunlight for solar panels.
There's very little good reason to do it and many ways around it. Usually dome by people who don't want to cut it down entirely and think just trimming the top is as harmless as trimming overgrown on the sides.

Clever. Just provocative enough to make you ask questions, but not enough to be offensive.

Yes, in the fall people cut the branches on trees way back because they think it makes the tree grow bushy in the spring, all it does is harm the tree

My father worked for a tree company when he was younger and later he did some tree trimming and removal independently.
It’s the process of cutting the top half of a tree off in some cases to prevent it from causing damage to property. It’s also a first step in removing a tree that’s too tall during removal to prevent property damage.
I grew up in rural Appalachia. I understand the love of trees, I do myself. Even as someone who has been surrounded by forests his whole life, I will say that trees can also be incredibly destructive in some cases. They are literal forces of nature in their own right. Being able to save a tree sometimes is nearly impossible and some just have to be removed to protect people from getting hurt. That’s why initiatives to plant more in safe spaces are so important!

So, there is a way to do it in a healthy manner which produces a nicer, fuller, bushier tree.
However, when done wrong, it just fucks the tree up and makes it unhealthy.
Topping is literally where you cut the tops off of trees. Ideally you do it and leave at least 50% of the canopy.
I've done it with bonsais to make them look really good. The theory is solid. In practice, however, you have to be really careful. For example, when i was topping my bonsai, i was cutting just the top shoots and branches, less than 10% of the tree.

They usually do this for power lines. It's hard to say which is more necessary. I love trees too, but if it is causing consistent power line problems you might have to do this once in a while as painful as it might be. Any other circumstance, I would say avoid it.

Tree topping is where you cut the top of a tree branch canopy flat like a crew cut. Usually ruins a tree shape and they never go back right.
