Species
Selection- Part I: Nursery Selection
July 15, 2010, 1-2pm EDT
Tree selection does not end with choosing the
appropriate species or cultivar for the planting site. Suitable nursery
stock must be chosen based on a number of considerations about planting
site, aftercare, root characteristics, production method, and structure.

Species
Selection- Part II: Seasonal Landscaping
August 5, 2010, 1-2pm EDT
Trees in the landscape might be most famous for
their fall foliage, but thoughtful planting can produce multiple
seasons of interest. In addition to leaf color, other features like
bark, limbs, fruit, flowers, scent, and overall form contribute to the
visual appeal of trees.
