Tree Planting: Selection, Tools, and Tricks of the Trade

Tony Dufour, Registered Landscape Architect, Anthony Dufour Gardens

In this intensive lecture, we'll cover the advantages and disadvantages of planting nursery stock— harvested, balled-and-burlapped, bare root, grown in containers or root control bags. Participants will gain a solid understanding of handling and transporting trees, identifying the root collar and proper planting depth, and dealing with root defects such as girdling roots. We'll discuss the size of the planting hole, soil amendments (yes or no?), pruning (yes or no?), watering and tools and equipment of the trade.

This course has been approved to carry 2 CEUs for ISA Certified Arborists and municipal specialists and LA-CES and NJ BTE certifications.
