TREE Fund research is improving every aspect of tree growth and survival:
- Disease and pest management – drippy blight, EAB, pesticide applications, etc.
- Effective soil amendments – composted greenwaste, biochar, soil profile rebuilding, etc.
- Superior cultivars
- Optimal hardscapes – pavement types, sidewalk designs, etc.
Many best practices for safely caring for trees have been derived from TREE Fund studies on topics like pruning and tree biomechanics.
