Got ANSI Standards? The How, Why and When to Use Them – Guy Meilleur

A quick review of the A300’s scope and methods will be followed by a view of new standards and the ongoing revisions of familiar standards. We will highlight real-life examples of how A300 makes work easier for those writing contract specifications, as well as the arborists who follow them.

The Pros and Cons of Planting Bare-root vs B&B or Container-grown Trees – Dr. Chris Starbuck
The cost of planting bare-root trees is lower than for B&B or container plants of comparable size and root systems are often superior. However, using conventional methods, availability of larger bare-root trees may be limited and planting must be done while trees are dormant. This session will discuss conventional handling and planting methods for bare-root trees and how a gravel bed can be used to eliminate some barriers to bare-root planting.
