Join us for a full day, hands-on workshop at the University of Minnesota – Morris Campus. This workshop focuses on developmental pruning techniques and management options of small trees (<12in DBH), medium trees (12in to 24in DBH), and large trees (>24in DBH, established canopy).
The workshop will also include species factors in management choices, managing client/homeowner expectations, identifying and managing structural defects, and comparing work techniques to accomplish pruning. You will gain invaluable advice and experience on how to make proper pruning cuts on trees of various sizes.
Also included is a demonstration of different cabling techniques using both steel (static) and dynamic cabling systems and a discussion of their role in tree preservation.
This workshop is designed for professionals with little or no pruning experience to those with advanced pruning skills. Please bring your favorite pruning gear including hand shears and pruning saws.
