Arboriculture is the applied science of managing persistent woody plants individually or in the context of plants and the environmental characteristics of the immediate environment (in contrast to forestry, for example, or orchard agriculture).
Arboriculture
is the cultivation, management and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other woody perennial plants. It is both a practice and a science. Arboriculture, on the other hand, is the study of trees.An arborist is considered to be a person who studies trees and the proper ways to care for them. They are also sometimes called tree surgeons. Arborists are needed to assess the condition of trees, make recommendations for their care, and provide services to keep them healthy and thriving for years to come. They have professional knowledge of where to place trees, the correct maintenance needed, and how big they will grow in the next 10 years.
The science of arboriculture studies how these plants grow and respond to cultural practices and their environment. The practice of arboriculture includes cultural techniques such as selection, planting, training, fertilization, pest and pathogen control, pruning, shaping and disposal. A person who practices or studies arboriculture may be referred to as an “arboriculturist”, “arboriculturist” or “tree surgeon”. Risk management, legal issues and aesthetic considerations have come to play a prominent role in arboriculture practice.
Arboriculture focuses primarily on individual woody plants and trees maintained for landscaping purposes and permanent services, usually in gardens, parks, or other populated environments, by arborists, for the enjoyment, protection and benefit of human beings. Therefore, it is related to, but distinct from, agriculture, horticulture, urban forestry, forestry, forestry and forestry. Arboriculture is a science and practice of caring for plants, trees and shrubs; arboriculturists are experts in green spaces. Arborists are different from forestry contractors because they maintain wooded areas because of their aesthetics rather than because of the wood or fruit they produce.
Arboriculture also involves risk management and studying tree safety. A horticulturist is a person who studies, works or improves the cultivation of flowers and plants for ornamental use. The science of arboriculture studies how trees grow and respond to their environment, as well as the techniques used to cultivate them.
