ébranchage des arbres ligneux


Explanation:
It could be a plant or a tree...

In the fisrt case translation should be ébranchage des plantes ligneuses, if it is a tree it should be ébranchage des arbres ligneux. The word ligneous isn't used as a noun in French and therefore we need to specify what is being loppe.
