Limbing

By David Beaulieu, About.com

Definition: Limbing is an arboricultural term that means removing unwanted limbs from a tree. Large scaffold branches hanging dangerously over a house, for instance, often require limbing. Such limbing work is best performed by arborists or reputable tree services. But the term "limbing" is properly applied to the removal of any limbs from any tree, regardless of size.
Common Misspellings: limming
