This program was developed for professionals in the tree care industry - Arborists, urban foresters, landscape maintenance gardeners, parks staff, nursery personnel, and allied professionals.
This instructional program teaches you:
• how to train young trees using a five-step process
• how trees respond to pruning
• how species vary in their response
• how location affects pruning practices
• how to prune conifers
You'll see the annual pruning response of various landscape species over a 4-year period. In addition, you'll also see trees which were either not pruned or pruned incorrectly for comparison.
The program takes you to three different field locations - a street, parking lot, and residential yard - and demonstrates the application of the five steps in each situation.
You will find that the 5-step process is comprehensive, systematic, simple to learn, and easy to implement. Using this information, you can reduce maintenance costs and greatly improve the safety, appearance, and longevity of landscape trees.
