Planted along roads or in yards, community trees provide many benefits; for every dollar invested in their care, trees provide up to five dollars in benefits. In this class, we will discuss all aspects of pruning - how-to, timing, tools, types, objectives - and how trees respond to pruning. The course is suitable for all levels of experience and does not require any previous knowledge of tree biology.
No exam
