Project Canopy
Dr. John Ball, South Dakota State
University
With increased international trade our urban forests continue to
experience a plethora of stress-factors that include a continuing assault from
exotic pest threats. Diversification related to urban tree selection is one
important component of plant health care. Dr. John Ball will outline
proper steps to choosing urban trees, with emphasis for diversity being at the
genera, not species, level. This presentation will explain why the old
"10-20-30 rule" needs to become simply "the 5% solution."
