Pollarding a willow can have several benefits, particularly when the tree has become too large or is growing in a restricted space:
* π³ Controls the size and height β keeps a fast-growing willow from becoming too large for its location.
* βοΈ Encourages fresh growth β willows respond strongly to hard pruning, producing lots of new shoots.
* π‘ Creates a more manageable tree β useful where branches are becoming too large, overhanging buildings or interfering with access.
