Sorry....I should have used the word whacked, and no I didn't think you would do such a thing, but the power companies do it all the time. Just what is pollarding? I know it's done in Europe and I thought it designated any close pruning or topping of trees where all the branches where trimmed level or at the same length. Several of the trees in the center of the photo had branches appearing to ascend straight up from what I would assume was a prior close cropping of the crown. I think someone characterized it as the cactus look.
