Don't Top Trees
Why Topping Hurts Trees
Topping is perhaps the most harmful tree pruning practice known. Yet, despite more than 25 years of literature and seminars explaining its harmful effects, topping remains a common practice. Topping is not an acceptable pruning technique.
What is Topping?
Topping is the indiscriminate cutting of tree branches to stubs or lateral branches that are not large enough to assume the terminal role. Other names for topping include “heading,” “tipping,” “hat-racking,” and “rounding over.”
The most common reason given for topping is to reduce the size of a tree. Home owners often feel that their trees have become too large for their property. People fear that tall trees may pose a hazard. Topping, however, is not a viable method of height reduction and certainly does not reduce the hazard. In fact, topping will make a tree more hazardous in the long term. For more information click here.

"Elm Street Program"
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has initiated a grant program entitled Elm Street that is a direct extension of the successful Main Street Program, which helped shape the revitalization of Doylestown. Elm Street focuses on neighborhoods that are adjacent to the Central Business District.
The main benefit to owners and tenants in the designated Elm Street neighborhood is funding available to implement improvements including, but not limited to, safety and beautification (facades, sidewalks, lighting, signage, and benches.)
The Borough has begun the process of seeking admission into the Elm Street Program. The first step in this process is the development of an Elm Street Plan. In preparing this plan, it is imperative that we include feedback from the community. In September, 2009, an Elm Street Town Meeting was held to obtain valuable input from both owners and tenants and to provide information about the program.
The links below include draft goals of the Elm Street Plan as well as representative sketches of the proposed improvements. The goals and conceptual improvements are based on feedback received during the first Elm Street Town Meeting as well as in questionnaires submitted by residents and businesses within the Elm Street neighborhood. The second Elm Street Town Meeting will focus on these goals and improvements.
Goals * Wood Street * Mary Street * Clinton Street1 * Clinton Street2
