BLOOMINGTON Trees can live hundreds of years, but from pests and diseases to improper care and installation, urban trees are not living as long as their forest counterparts. Many urban trees only live 20% of their life span.
Whether you are new to tree care or a seasoned professional, the 2021 Urban Tree Conference presented virtually by University of Illinois Extension will provide practical strategies to extend the life of urban trees. The conference will start on Jan. 7 with three weeks of morning sessions on Thursdays and Fridays and will cover basic horticulture instruction, urban forestry science, tree selection and tree pruning practices.
