Additional Winter Session
Pruning Young Shade Trees | March 3
Young shade trees face a variety of challenges in the landscape, resulting in surprisingly low survival rates for many of these plants. While planting practices and follow-up care are major factors in the mortality of younger trees, canopy failure from poor branch structure is a bigger risk for trees that make it beyond establishment.
Proper pruning early in a treeโs life can drastically reduce the risk of canopy failure or hazard development from structurally unsound limbs later in life. Learn more about the issues young trees face and how early pruning can set them up for a lifetime of healthy canopy structure. Presenter: Ryan Pankau, horticulture educator, Illinois Extension
