Commentary for Avodah Zarah 98:9

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> כיצד מבטלה קירסם וזירד נטל ממנה מקל או שרביט אפי' עלה ה"ז בטלה שיפה לצרכה אסורה שלא לצרכה מותרת:

How does one annul [an asherah]? If [a pagan] pruned or trimmed it, removing from it a stick or twig or even a leaf, behold it is annulled. If he smoothed it out for its own sake, it is prohibited; but if not for its own sake, it is permitted.
