41 registered already: the organizer is bowled over, and despite my objections is ready to cap it at 45. Deadline to preregister looming.

Tree Academy
Forcing Change to Large Trees: Smaller, Safer, Natural
Can we preserve the dignity of large-maturing trees while maintaining them at a smaller size? When should these trees be removed or retained, kept or killed? Restoration pruning after the storm has taught us that in many cases we must ‘head’ for better form. Veteran trees have historically been managed by pollarding and other crown reduction pruning. Bonsai have been managed for centuries by specified pruning of branches and roots. We will see how these and other experiences can inform size control of trees in several different scenarios.
