Like this.
Edit: wrong picture, this what i ment haha
so I was like... ok.
Rich, cool pics and job, thanks for posting.
I've never pollarded, is there a trick or technique to it or is it simply cutting off all the suckers at their collar (if they have one)?
Rich,I couldn't imagine doing all that with a handsaw,kudos. I think the properly done,established pollard jobs look cool.
Ya Butch,that was the finished product on the palm. Over trimmed,yes. Most dont want to leave the queens full.
I inform ,they decide....
The main trick is to cut as close to the knuckle as possible....
