Join Travis County Master Gardener and ISA Certified Arborist Jerry Naiser
to learn all about how to do right by your trees. Learn the right trees to
choose for your Central Texas landscape by choosing those that enjoy our
native soils and tough climate. Understand how to select the right tree for
the right location by considering mature height, longevity, light needs, and
leaf coverage. Hear how to correctly plant a tree to give it a strong start
and secure location for its lifespan. Finally, learn how to care for and
prune your tree for long-term health and during times of stress such as
construction or drought.
