Limbing or delimbing is the process of removing branches from a standing or fallen tree trunk. In logging, limbing follows felling.

A California fire prevention guide recommends to "Remove all tree branches at least 6 feet [1.8 meters] from the ground" and "Allow extra vertical space between shrubs and trees.
