DON'T TOP YOUR TREES!

An increasing number of residents are turning to "tree topping" to maintain private trees. What do our arborists say? DON'T DO IT! It's a harmful practice that can lead to branch failure and affect the health of the tree.

Watch this video to learn more.

Contact a certified arborist to learn about alternatives to tree-topping, or call City of Charlotte Landscape Management at 704-336-4262 if the tree is in a City right of way.
