Early Intervention: The Importance of Structural
Pruning in Tree Development
What: The presentation by Kris Bachtell, the recently retired Vice President of Collections and Horticulture at The Morton Arboretum, will start with a classroom discussion about the theory of structural pruning that is typically performed on young to medium-aged trees to enhance the tree's appearance, stability, and benefits to the environment. Next, attendees will head outside on the golf course to see and practice these techniques in a hands-on manner.
Morning donuts and coffee and lunch will be provided courtesy of our generous Industry Partners.
Where: Westmoor CC Maintenance Facility
Brookfield, WI
When: October 28 from 9 am-1 pm.
