Serious question, does anyone else think topping trees is sometimes the RIGHT call?

Yes! Finally someone saying it. Topping gets a bad rap because of all the hack jobs you see, but a proper reduction cut is a whole different thing. I have seen trees that were topped by a real pro come back thicker and healthier than ones left alone. Had a big maple at my place that was getting way too tall for the spot. Topped it right and it pushed out strong new growth the next season. The key is doing it at the right time of year and not just lopping off the top flat. Bad topping is bad. Good topping is just pruning, plain and simple.
