Good day Last week I attended a 3 day Tree anatomy workshop the first session we looked at roots and their different growth stages under a microscope. This will help when assessing trees that are not well giving a more in depth look at what may be a problem with your tree/s. Over the next 3 days we looked at many different trees/palms under microscopes to see how different each tree is and yet how similar On the last day we put some food dye into some water than sucked on the ends to draw the fluid through the stems to show the vascular system and how it works and how important correct pruning techniques are (see Photos) Attending workshops seminars such as this increases my knowledge maintaining and increasing technical currency in this growing (pun intended) profession of Arboriculture.
