Arboriculture is a technical term used with in the tree surgery and forestry industries. It covers many aspects of tree management and can be summarised as the ‘Science of cultivating trees’.
To achieve a qualification in Arboriculture, we have had to study
- how to select appropriate tree speicies for particular purposes and locations
- the theory and practice of tree planting
- the theory and practice of tree care
- the theory and practice of tree maintenance
- the management of pests and diseases in existing species
For a domestic or office setting our arboricultural knowledge enables us to help you to select trees that are pest resistant and most likely to live a long and healthy life in the location. The art of arboriculture is applied to create a tree display that will be
- appropriate for your needs,
- aesthetically pleasing,
- ornamental, and longlasting.
For commercial clients in the forestry industry, the overall goal of arboriculture is to combine modern technology and skills in order to care for trees in a way that is scientifically sound. This includes employing risk management techniques and planting trees to present the greatest profit.
