What’s Wrong with my Tree?

Join us for a homeowner-focused discussion about how to look at a tree that may be struggling to figure out what is wrong and how to address it. An expert arborist will walk you through the diagnostic process, looking at the tree from its canopy to its roots and considering growing conditions to understand the symptoms and their causes. He’ll cover some common concerns in our local North Texas trees and share treatments and steps you can do to support tree health. Attendees are encouraged to bring questions and photos of trees in their own yards to talk through some real examples together. You’ll leave with helpful know-how for your yard at home.

Registration includes Garden admission for the day—we encourage you to explore the Garden after class!
