This publication is available as a PDF only.
This publication is designed to help tree owners and Virginia Cooperative Extension Master Gardener volunteers evaluate tree health. Collecting information and identifying potential tree health issues will lead to more informed tree care decisions. Evaluation information can be used in many ways including: by the tree owner to guide their direct actions, to support discussions with landscape contractors, to identify situations where a Certified Arborist is needed, to support municipal arborists or foresters or Master Gardener volunteers in making tree care recommendations.
