Pollarding is indeed another word for pruning. The word originates from Japan where they cut young trees severely to grow Bonzai trees
If you leave a stump of several feet in height to re-grow, it's called pollarding; if you cut it to the ground and it re-grows from there it's a coppice.

If the branches have been cut back to leave the trunk it's called pollarding, but if it has been cut back to near ground level so it grows back with multiple trunks it's called copicing.
