Tree Health, Biology, and Ecology, and the Effects of Pruning and Tree Care

Sunday 3/26/23

What is tree health? How do we assess it? This talk will cover the many ways trees respond biologically to pruning, transplanting, and other tree care practices. We'll also look at the role that ecology plays in the garden and how encouraging more biodiversity can promote better tree, garden, and personal health.

Chris now consults with landscape architects, designers, and private clients on mature tree preservation, tree risk and health assessments, specialized pruning, and tree protection in construction.
