The process of topping trees involves removing the entire tops of trees or large branches and/or trunks from the tops of trees, leaving stubs or lateral branches that can't function as terminal leaders. Other common names for the process include hat-racking, heading, and rouling.

Trees have been known to be topped to stimulate new growth. When a tree is topped, adventitious shoots called suckers grow from the wound to compensate for the sudden absence of leaves.

Arborists are also hired for aesthetic reasons. Trees can block a mountain view, shade a garden, or interfere with solar energy collection. As a result, the tree never completely recovers its natural shape.
