Ohio Chapter ISA Presents
June 4, 2020
Time: 1:00 pm - 3:30pm
The Ohio Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture invites you to learn about "The Real Story about Tree Roots."

These mistaken ideas influence how long trees can live and die. Learn how many common day landscape management practices like improper tree selection, herbicides use, poor-planting techniques, improper watering, volcano-mulching, root cuts, and improper fertilization will likely reduce a tree's life.
This class will forever change the way you understand how tree roots form, grow, and function.
