Default Interesting Lecture near Chicago, on Peach Trees

Do you think maybe, just maybe, the Chicago Botanic Garden staff might
know a little about trees? And if they brought a guy in to give a
talk, maybe, speaking hypothetically here, HE KNOWS A THING OR TWO?

Sheesh.

But wait, you didn't find anything on Google about the guy, or his
peach dissections! LOL.

For everyone else, I highly recommend the CBC, it is an incredible
place. Worth a special trip, or a detour if you're anywhere near
Chicago.

Its hard when you have an understanding of peach trees.

Where is their dissections at explaining the response of peach trees to
pruning?

See I understand the internal response to pruning. Again, where is their
dissections at or don't they dissect trees?

BTW my junk is more then you have to offer. The biggest pest for peaches is
the improper pruning by humans. do they address that pest?

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.

You will use every opportunity to sneak in a plug for your junk. I did
not ask
for
your help, only invited people to a lecture by someone who knows a hell of
a lot
more about peach trees than you do..

The Botanic Garden is located in Glencoe Illinois, just East of Hywy 94
