POLLARDING (to poll, to cut off, or shave thehead) is the cutting off of the whole crown of atree, leaving it to send out new Vjranches from thetop of the stem. Trees thus treated are calledpollards. The new branches are never equal inmagnitude to the original branches of the tree, although often more numerous, and when pollarding is often repeated, the scars and stumps form a thickring at the top of the stem, from which many smallbranches spring. Pollards are not beautiful; butpollarding is practised with advantage in districtswhere fuel is scarce, the branches being cut off inorder to be used for fuel, aud the operation repeated m. every third or fourth year. It is much more pre-valent in many parts of Europe than in any part ofBritain, and in Britain is almost contined to thosedistricts of England which are furthest from coaLWillows, Poplars, Alders, Elms, Oaks, and Limesare the trees most frequently pollarded, and in someparts of Europe the White Mulbeny. The trees ofmost rapid growth are preferred where fuel is theobject; and willows, poplars, and alders are plantedalong water-courses, and in rows in moist meadowsand bogs. Oaks are sometimes pollarded chiefly forthe sake of the bark of their branches, and thewhole treatment very much resembles that ofcopse-wood. In some parts of Germany, landscapesmay be seen of open country with many scatteredoak and elm pollards, presenting a very pecuharappearance. POLLEN. See Stamex and Fecundation.
