Default A planting primer for trees and shrubs

Don Staples

You are a perfect example of someone who claims to be a tree expert yet has
no understanding of tree biology. Sad! You are a trouble maker. You are
the devils advocate.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

Yes, trees should be planted. They should be planted correctly. Or if
correct planting procedures are not known, then trees should be planted
under the supervision of a tree care professional who understands how to
plant correctly, and who understands the concept of the right tree in the
right place.


Here one must assume that a "tree care professional" has credentials to
announce his "professionalism". One would assume that the
"Professionalism" would include formal study at a collegiate level. We
await with abated breath the announcement of your "professional
credentials".

Beware a so called tree biologist that has never studied biology.
