LOPPED Meaning and Definition

  1. Lopped is a verb that refers to the act of cutting off or trimming branches or twigs from a tree or plant. When a tree is lopped, it involves removing parts of the branches, usually with the use of a sharp tool like an axe or pruning shears, to shape or reduce the tree's size. This action is commonly done for various reasons such as improving the tree's appearance, stimulating growth in specific areas, reducing the risk of falling branches, or ensuring the tree's health.

    The term "lopped" can also be used metaphorically to describe the removal or reduction of any object or entity, similar to how branches are trimmed. In this sense, it implies a cutting or severing action taken to eliminate excess or unwanted parts.

    Lopping can be a skillful process that requires precision and knowledge of tree biology to avoid causing harm or stress to the tree. It involves understanding the tree's growth patterns, pruning techniques, and careful consideration of which branches to remove to achieve the desired outcome. Lopped branches are typically trimmed at specific locations known as branch collars or nodes, which aids in the tree's ability to heal and recover from the pruning process.

    Overall, "lopped" refers to the act of cutting or trimming branches or twigs from a tree or plant, either for practical or aesthetic purposes, as well as the metaphorical removal or reduction of any entity.
