Two pruning workshops held this past fall attracted a total of 26 tree stewards. The first was held on Saturday, October 15 at the RI Veterans' Memorial Cemetery in Exeter, RI. The second session took place at the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary at 399 Fruit Hill Avenue in North Providence, RI. Both work sessions focused on training plants for good structure and health. I must say that I was extremely impressed with the quality of the work done by 'citizen pruners' at each work site. Those at RIVC were nothing short of brilliant in the way they meticulously eliminated co-dominate and white pine weevil damaged leaders from white pines near the cemetery's main entrance.
Become a Rhode Island Tree Steward.
This is a familiar refrain that, unfortunately, has kept too many of us from enjoying a good night’s sleep, a second helping of pasta, or even a delicious double espresso as we ponder the mystery of the leafy specimen we just encountered while on our daily walk. Well trouble yourself no more. Thanks to RITree you can learn the plant’s identity by attending RITree’s “Knowing Your Trees” Program- giving you plenty of time for these other delights!
