Developing a Species Profile    (View PDF)

James R. Clark, Nelda Matheny and Joe McNeil

Abstract: The selection and management of trees depend upon the availability of accurate information about the characteristics of the individual taxa involved. The development of a species profile utilizes a variety of sources of information, ranging from textbooks to personal experience. Both basic and practical knowledge are needed. Aspects of plant biology such as natural range and habitat, phenology and reproductive behavior may provide insights into management. In addition, practical guidelines for pruning, key pests and other management strategies may be invaluable.
