Journaling:
"This is either a London Planetree or an American Sycamore that has been pollarded. To pollard a tree is an ancient practice. Like coppicing, one cuts back the new growth on a regular schedule to shape and train tree, to maintain its size, or to harvest its wood. Unlike coppicing, where one may cut the tree or shrub back to the ground; pollarding leaves the basic framework of the tree in place, and simply cuts back new growth to a given point. This may be done annually, or once every several years depending on the gardener’s needs."
