Arboriculture 101

I just finished up a 4 day course of Dr. Todd Watson's Arboriculture 101 in College Station, Texas. The course is great and provides required CEU's for my ISA Arborist Certification and my TDA Applicaters License. It's fun to learn under Dr. Todd Watson. His teaching technique is superior.

Mistletoe

Have you noticed the Mistletoe has been on the decline this Winter here in Dallas, TX area ? Probably due to the drought. I'll ask the expert on the subject in Feb when I go back to school again. School is a part of my life now and I absolutely crave learning. Knowledge is power.

Watering your trees in Winter

Don't water your Live Oak trees just before a freeze. Last year, 2010, I saw a Live Oak split like a water pipe because its owner watered it the day before a freeze. The leaf surface must have reached a temprature warm enough to allow the Stomates in the leaves to open and transpire, pulling water into the tree's vassal cells the day before the freeze. That night it froze and split the tree down its side in a couple of places. I never heard if the tree survived. It probably did since it was so young.  You can research your questions directly from my site aPerfectTree.com in the search box, or right here.
