By pollarding willows in this way, the overall size of the tree is controlled, meaning that they don't outgrow their allotted space. Large willows will require pollarding every few years, so that they don't get too large. In a matter of just a few weeks, the top of this tree will be a mass of new green shoots, competing with each other for light and space.
