-The act of intentionally and coinsistantly removing large sections of the tree. The American National Standards Institute(ANSI) prohibits topping. This act promotes decay and produces rapid growths called watersprouts. Weakly attached limbs. It decreases the trees ability to produce energy (photosynthesis) due to leaf reduction, weakening its vigor and starving the tree.
