loppings
Pruned tree parts
Loppings are the branches, twigs, and other parts cut away when pruning or trimming trees and shrubs.
The term comes from the verb lop, meaning to cut off branches.
Loppings may be gathered for firewood, composted, or chipped into mulch.
We hauled the loppings to the burn pile after trimming the hedges.
