Taking care of trees may sound really easy, but there is a technical field of arboriculture behind each one of these living things. Growing trees in different kinds of soils and climates can be challenging to say the least. This week on #treechat, the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) will help take out some of the mystery of proper tree care. Come learn some tips for having healthy trees in our landscapes and neighborhoods.
