Trees are the basic hallmark of sustainable landscapes. Trees are good and stay good IF you buy a good tree, IF you select a good location, IF you have good installation, IF you continue with proper establishment techniques, and IF you apply regular good maintenance.
In this free webinar on May 13 at 12 p.m. ET, Dr. Douglas Airhart will present and discuss these IFS and features of successful tree establishment. Trees are unique aspects of all communities. They add stature and attractive features of canopy shapes, spring and autumn flowers, scents, various fall colors, and animal habitats. They can whisper in the wind, break its forces, provide comfortable shade, and temper the rain and erosion as stormwater managers.
However, tree are easily damaged and deteriorated by bad habits of people and natural events. Their successful establishment and survival are dependent upon structural selection concerns, the use of proper planting techniques, protection of their root zones, and regularly scheduled arboricultural inspection and maintenance techniques. These factors are the topic of this presentation. Register now for this webinar.
