Myths of tree work
Myth 1: "Topping a tree makes it safer."
The Hook: "Why 'topping' your tree actually creates a ticking time bomb."
The Myth: Homeowners often think cutting the top off a tall tree reduces the wind sail and makes it safer.
The Truth: Topping causes "water sprouts"—weakly attached, rapid growth that is far more likely to snap in a storm than the original top. It also opens the tree to massive decay.
Visual Idea: Show a photo of a topped tree with ugly, broom-like regrowth vs. a properly reduction-pruned canopy.
