Field Identification of Deciduous Trees & Shrubs
AS009
Plant material will be studied on site for their distinctive characteristics. Classes will be held outside at the Arnold Arboretum. Students will examine bark, twigs, buds, flowers, fruit leaves, outline and branching structure of mature specimens. Approximately 20 plants will be covered in each class. A sketch or photographic journal will be required of students, and weekly quizzes will be given. This introductory course will cover the large families most commonly seen and used in New England such as the maples, rose family (cherry and crabs), magnolias, oaks, beeches and hickories. Arborists, designers, contractors and other in the filed who need a refresher course are welcome.
