Trees & Turf: Compromising Performance and Values
University Outreach Publication
Both tree and turf cultural systems strive for great plant performance, high landscape values, and exceeding client expectations. Management of either trees or turf requires similar knowledge of sites and soils, plus additional unique knowledge of specific biological and ecological reactions. Health care and structural maintenance of both tree and turf systems call for specialized knowledge. When trees and turf are required to effectively meet management objectives growing on the same site, additional knowledge and efforts are required to allow both to thrive.
