Course Description

Trees are the most significant plants in the urban landscape. Trees, old and young, require special attention to ensure long life, good looks and structural soundness in order to minimize hazard to people and property. A well-positioned and maintained tree adds measurable aesthetic, environmental and monetary value to a property over many years. Join ISA certified veteran arborist and instructor Ron Carter and learn how to properly plant, train, prune and maintain the most common varieties of trees and shrubs. Topics include planting, staking, training, and pruning techniques.
