Warning About Tree Topping
Published November 2018
Due to a number of trees in the Clermont area being "topped" this year, residents and property owners should be made aware that this is a practice that is highly discouraged by tree care experts. There are a number of reasons this is so, including weakened trees and premature tree death. Before hiring an arborist, please arm yourself with knowledge and do not allow your trees, which are of great value in our community, to be topped. Insist that the workers who prune your trees are certified to help ensure your trees are being cared for properly.
