Modern Arboriculture - Modern Arboriculture (the "i" is silent) is tree care based on an understanding of tree biology. Modern Arboriculture is a systematic approach to the care of trees. Arboriculture should mean tree care, not tree injury for profit. Modern Arboriculture hopes to change this. Modern Arboriculture is the improvement of tree treatments worldwide. Arboriculture is the cultivation of trees from birth to death.
In other words. Modern arboriculture is the cultivation of trees and their associates. And all based on a thorough understanding of tree biology. Boy, if we could only have more people do that. Many people do but not enough. Tree biology, associates, cultivation, arboriculture – that’s what arboriculture is all about. Many of these terms repeat. We must repeat this one – decisions are made and treatments are followed after the decisions. So this is what Modern Arboriculture is all about. Are you a Modern Arboriculturalist or are you an old flush cut, wound dressing, cavity digging arborist? Are you an arborist? Think about it please – think.
