@@NotYourAverageTreeMan Pollarding: cutting a tree so as to encourage formation of numerous branches arising from the same height on a main stem or principal branches NOTE 1 This process is initially carried out on trees that have not yet reached maturity. The form of the tree can then be maintained by cycles of cutting. This is not the same as topping (3.28). NOTE 2 The pollard heads collectively, and the framework of a pollarded tree, are both known as the bolling.

That’s literally what I did… 😂 it’s obviously a mature tree not a young one that hasn’t been pollarded - so we established a new bolls to maximise appropriate pruning cuts as opposed to hack it all into uniformity, which obviously isn’t healthy on such a mature tree. Pollarding is also used to retain an older tree which would otherwise be too big for site where the other option is to fell. Thanks for your valued insights - however I feel to everyone but yourself, you’ve probably just clarified that I did in fact establish a perfectly good pollard for a mature tree. 🤙
