Pollarding

Finally, I understand what they're doing to the trees in San Francisco. They are "pollarding" many of the trees out here. So, the thought is that, if you prune their upper branches, you can keep them from growing beyond a pre-determined height. Also, it apparently makes them life longer, produce more even foliage, etc.
