“Rejuvenation and Resilience in Trees”
with Peter Del Tredici
in person at CCB
This presentation examines the role of basal sprouting in trees and its practical implications in terms of forestry, ecology and conservation. Most trees are capable of sprouting which not only extends their life spans but also allows them to survive the ravages of natural disturbances as well as those produced by humans. Trees with a strong ability to resprout are going to play an important role in stabilizing landscapes that are impacted by the unpredictability of our current climate crisis.
• Peter Del Tredici is a botanist specializing in the growth and development of trees. He worked at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University for 35 years as Plant Propagator, Curator of the Bonsai, Editor of Arnoldia, Director of Living Collections and Senior Research Scientist. He was also an Associate Professor in the Landscape Architecture Department at the Harvard Graduate School of Design for 24 years. His botanical interests include sprouting in trees, the ecology of hemlocks, the natural and cultural history of the Ginkgo tree and spontaneous urban vegetation.
