limbing
Cutting tree branches
Limbing is the act of removing limbs—branches—from a tree, whether felled or standing.
Loggers limb trees after cutting them down to prepare logs for transport.
Arborists limb living trees to improve health or clear space: We spent the morning limbing the oak that fell in the storm.
