Trinkle Center
Designed to inform people who work with trees how and why
our treatments actually work... how does pruning, fertilizing
and injecting actually impact the metabolic tree systems? Join
our experts to learn the facts from A (autotrophs) to, well,
almost Z (xylem).
This seminar is intended to increase your understanding of
tree biology in order to make you a better tree practitioner.
You will be able to explain to your clients how your treatments will benefit their trees from a biological perspective.

MEET OUR EXPERTS
Dr. Ed Gilman
Ed Gilman received his Ph.D. from Rutgers and
has been on the faculty since 1986 as professor
in the Environmental Horticulture Department at
the University of Florida in Gainesville. He teaches
arboriculture, conducts research on tree root
systems and pruning and works extensively with our
profession. He is the author of six books on trees
and landscape plants, many software programs, and
web sites that have received numerous awards. Ed
wrote “An Illustrated Guide to Pruning” which is in its
third edition. He is a Florida Chapter ISA and Urban
Forestry Council past-president. He received the
Authors Citation Award in 1999, the Educators Award
in 2003, and the Research Award in 2007 from the
ISA for sustained excellence in research, publishing
and teaching timely information on tree care.

8:00 – 8:30 Registration with a light breakfast
11:20-12:00 Outside Discussion and Demonstration with All Speakers
8:30–9:30 Shared Biology: Discovering Your Inner Tree - Joe Murray
What if trees were more like animals? More like pets? If trees could run up to
our cars to greet us when we return from work, might we be more mindful of
trees and provide them with more appropriate care? Naturally, this scenario
presents a host of challenges for the trees - running, vision, memory, emotion.
Nevertheless, if the reader will permit me the latitude to present information
about tree and human biology in a nontraditional approach, perhaps we can
evaluate our similarities and differences with trees with fresh eyes. Enlightened
by this perspective and knowledge, we can provide to our customers more accurate comparisons between trees and people to help them make more informed
decisions on proper tree care.
12:00 - 1:00 LUNCH
9:30–10:15 Let’s Take a Journey Inside the Tree - Dr. Ed Gilman
Xylem, phloem, parenchyma, branch protection zone, reaction zones: where are
all these parts and what do they do? Why should I care about this; does it really
relate to my business; and how can I make this matter to my employees and
customers? The relationships among important parts of a plant are presented.
We will take the complex and transform it into the understandable so you make
scientifically sound arboriculture decisions. Although you may not present this to
your customers, you will come away from this session with a new confidence as
to why and how your treatments work. It is quite simple when you understand
what happens inside the tree.
10:15-10:30 Break
10:30-11:20 How Arboriculture Treatments Work, or Don’t Work Dr. Ed Gilman
A basic understanding of tree and shrub biology is essential to grasp impacts of
plant health care. Understanding how plants react to fertilizer, pruning, soil modifications, root injury and more will empower you to treat trees with confidence
and allow you to teach others how treatments can be beneficial, or harmful. It
will also help you understand why over-treatment is so detrimental. You will be
able to explain the changes in the tree that occur when a woody plant is treated.
1:00-2:00 Trees and Turf: An Antagonistic Relationship - Joe Murray
Trees growing in lawns may look nice and, indeed, have become the norm for
landscapes in the US, but this is not what nature intended. Sharing the same
space, neither trees nor turf provide the maximum benefits proclaimed by their
respective industries, at least not without the unsustainable practice of providing ecological subsidies. By better understanding their competitive strategies
and roles in natural succession, arborists can speak more confidently about the
necessity of keeping trees and turf apart.
2:00-3:15 The Impact of Planting, Pruning, Trunk Injection, Fertilizing on Water Relations in Trees – Dr. Andrew Koeser
In this session Dr. Koeser will explain how the impacts of several arboricultural
practices including planting, pruning, trunk injection, fertilizing and more are
critically impacted by the complex movement of water inside the tree. You will
better understand the biological how and why of many common arboricultural
practices.
3:15-3:30 Break
3:30-4:15 How Trees Respond to Adversity – Dr. Ed Gilman
People heal, trees don’t. Compartmentalization of dysfunction and decay inside
the tree is the mechanism by which trees defend themselves. Trees cannot run
from adversity but they have mechanisms to resist fungi that take advantage of
openings. Learn how different species respond when they are injured with trunk
wounds, large pruning cuts, storms, and more. Come away with the ability to
predict tree response and apply treatments which are biologically sound.
