The goal Q]R][W\O\babS[a with mature trees is to develop and maintain a sound structure to minimize RSORP`O\QV hazards such as branch failure. This task is easier provided a good structure was eObS`a^`]cba established earlier in the tree’s life. When properly executed, a variety of benefits are derived from pruning. Benefits include reduced risk of branch P`]YS\P`O\QV and stem breakage, better clearance for vehicles and pedestrians, improved health and appearance, and enhanced view. When improperly performed, pruning can harm a tree’s health, stability, acQYS` and appearance. Several consequences occur when pruning is not performed q at all (Figure 1). These consequences include development of low limbs; weak, codominant stems; defects such Figure q as included bark; and accumulation of Problems that can develop on trees include codominant dead branches.

  • International Society of Arboriculture Don't Plant and Run—Young Tree
    For More Information Sonia Garth, Public Relations and Marketing Manager International Society of Arboriculture 217.355.9411 ext. 217, [email protected] For Immediate Release Don’t Plant and Run—Young Tree Maintenance CHAMPAIGN, IL (May 2012) – Spring is now in full bloom, and thanks to Arbor Day and countless other tree-planting initiatives across the globe, you may be the proud owner of a brand new tree. It may be small now, but with a basic understanding of tree biology, you can help it grow to its full potential through proper pruning and maintaining its health and structure. This, in turn, “will enhance the aesthetic and economic values of your landscape,” says Jim Skiera, Executive Director of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Here are three simple tasks you can perform to ensure you’ll enjoy your new tree for years to come: Stake the tree, only if necessary. Studies have shown that trees establish more quickly and develop stronger trunk and root systems if they are not staked at the time of planting. However, staking may be required when planting bare root stock or planting on windy sites. Stakes may also offer protection against lawn mower damage and vandalism. One or two stakes used in conjunction with a wide, flexible tie material on the lower half of the tree will hold the tree upright and minimize injury to the trunk, yet still allow movement. It is important to remember to remove support staking and ties after the first year of growth. Mulch the base of the tree.

  • Pruning Cuts
    Colorado Master Gardenersm Program Colorado Gardener Certificate Training Colorado State University Extension GardenNotes #613 Pruning Cuts Fact sheet outline: Size of branch to remove, page 1 Thinning cuts, page 2 Reduction cuts, page 4 Heading cuts, page 6 Three cut method, page 6 Wound dressing, page 7 Time of year to prune, page 7 Amount of wood to remove, page 8 Hiring a qualified tree pruning professional, page 9 Additional information, page 9 A pruning cut may or may not predispose the tree to internal decay and stress depending on the type of cut used, technical precision of the cut, size of the branch removed, species, and general health of the tree. For details on tree growth and decay, refer to CMG GardenNotes #611, Tree Growth and Decay. In pruning, there are three primary types of pruning cuts, thinning cuts, reduction cuts, and heading cuts, each giving different results in growth and appearance. Note: In this publication the term “trunk” refers to the trunk or parent branch and “side branch” refers to the adjacent side branch arising from the trunk (parent branch). The same relationship exists between a side branch and secondary side branch. Size of Branch to Remove Ideally, all pruning cuts are two inches in diameter and smaller. Woundwood (the callus tissue that grows over pruning cuts or wounds) quickly grows over these small pruning cuts. Any cut on a branch larger than 4-inch diameter should be justified, taking into account the potential for decay. 613-1 Thinning Cuts Thinning cuts (also known as removal cuts, collar cuts or natural target pruning cuts) remove a side branch back to the larger parent branch or trunk.

  • What Does Research Tell Us About the Practice of Pruning in Arboriculture? by James R
    What does research tell us about the practice of pruning in arboriculture? By James R. Clark and Nelda Matheny Top quality arborists rely on scientific research to provide the basis for tree care. Tree care prac- tices should be founded in good science. At the same time, the practice of arboriculture offers many questions that researchers can answer with experiments. How is the practice of tree pruning reflected in these two ideas? How has research supported practice? Does practice guide research? With these questions in mind, ISA’s Science and Research Committee contracted with HortScience, Inc. to assemble a bibliography of research on the topic of pruning. The complete literature review will be published in Arboriculture & Urban Forestry in the 2010-year. This article is a brief summary of that review. We assembled 201 research citations from peer-reviewed journals, books, book chapters, and conference proceedings. We identified articles dealing with pruning in 44 journals from 12 countries. Our primary focus was on articles published in English. We were, how- ever, able to draw from a number of other languages. The scientists most frequently cited should be familiar to English- speaking arborists: Alex Shigo, Ed Gilman, Jason Grabosky, Brian Kane, Dan Neely, and Tom Smiley. Yet scientists from other coun- tries were also cited: Karen Barry and Elizabeth Pinkard of Australia; Dirk Dujesiefsken, Walter Liese, D. Eckstein, Francis Schwarze, and Horst Stobbe, of Germany; and Francesco Ferrini of Italy. Dujesiefsken and Stobbe’s (2002) review of the Hamburg Tree Pruning System is an excellent summary of current pruning prac- tice, applicable to arborists around the world.

Revitalizing Arboriculture Education at the Morris Arboretum This report is available at ScholarlyCommons: https://repository.upenn.edu/morrisarboretum_internreports/114 Title: Revitalizing Arboriculture Education at the Morris Arboretum Author: Carrie Borgenicht The Martha S. Miller Endowed Urban Forestry Intern Date: April 2008 Abstract: In an effort to enhance the Arboretum’s professional educational offerings, which will improve the care of trees in our area and will enhance the Morris Arboretum’s name recognition, reputation, visitation, and revenue, this project focuses on expanding and reinvigorating our arboriculture classes, lectures and symposia. In particular, the project focus will be on professional enhancement for arborists and other professionals including landscapers, landscape architects and building professionals with an interest in preserving trees during construction. In order to assess and invigorate the arboriculture education program, first, I looked at what we have offered over the past three years. I looked at the class offerings, symposia and lectures, how much we spent to offer these educational sessions, how many people attended (vs. capacity) and the revenue achieved. Following a thorough assessment of past and current offerings, I looked at what is offered at area arboreta, botanical gardens, universities and other institutions.

  • Urban Tree Biomechanics Literature Review
    Urban Tree Biomechanics Literature Review Summary Report Presented To International Society of Arboriculture Science and Research Committee By: West Virginia University ENSPEC Environment & Risk Rutgers University University of Massachusetts TreeConsult, Brudi & Partner May 16, 2013 INTRODUCTION Tree biomechanics incorporates biological study and engineering principles to understand how plant growth leads to the ability to withstand self-imposed and externally applied loading events. As branches and stems annually increase in length and diameter, trees must build tissues and organs that are capable of withstanding static and dynamic loads. While the study of plant biomechanics began in the late 1800s, comparatively little work has concentrated on open-grown trees. Even less work has directly investigated arboricultural aspects of tree biomechanics. A comprehensive literature of tree biomechanics was commissioned by the Science and Research Committee of the International Society of Arboriculture. The goal of this review was to learn what information is available on topics such as: biomechanical principals; adaptive growth; tree failure; decay; wind and storm related loading; branch and root strength. This summary report is an effort to synthesize the project. The assembled team included academics and practitioners which we feel brought a rounded approach to the subject matter. Members included Greg Dahle (West Virginia University), Ken James (ENSPEC), Jason Grabosky (Rutgers University), Brian Kane (UMASS) and Andreas Detter (Brudi & Partner). COLLECTION METHODOLOGY Most of the literature searches were conducted utilizing online library services at Rutgers University, the University of Melbourne and West Virginia University. Searches were conducted using the following databases: Agricola, A&UF, CAB Abstracts, Google Scholar, JSTOR, Scopus, Web of Science (listed in alphabetical order).
