Join us for a two-part workshop on the value and uses of bare root trees and how to use gravel beds to hold and maintain bare root stock before it is planted. Part one will be delivered via Zoom on Friday, Sept. 20. Part two will be an in-person field day visit to an operating gravel bed. You will select one of the six locations around the state during registration. ISA CEUs will be available for both parts.
The cost of the workshop is $30, and the registration deadline is Sept. 12.
Zoom Session – Sept. 20, 8:30 a.m. – noon
In the first hour, Dr. Laura Jull, UW-Madison Extension Woody Ornamental Specialist will discuss the advantages of using bare root trees and suitable species for Wisconsin. We will then be joined by Dr. Gary Johnson, Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota who will review gravel bed design set-up and stocking followed by a discussion of species performance, care, harvest, and planting.
