ISA offers a variety of educational materials to help arborists improve their arboricultural knowledge. Each week we will feature a product, or group of products that will enhance your arboriculture education. This week, ISA is featuring the Best Management Practices: Tree Support Systems by E. Thomas Smiley and Sharon Lilly.

For a limited time, ISA is offering a 40% discount on the BMP: Tree Support Systems. Take advantage of this limited offer by using code 40PERCENT through 31 July 2020. For ISA members, this is in addition to your member discount.

This BMP is a good resource for practicing arborists who may not be familiar with tree support systems, said Smiley.

“Support systems are a more technical service and it’s not more difficult than pruning, but it’s a different skill set and you certainly need a different knowledge base for what materials to select, how to install them and where to install them in the tree,” he said.

The publication goes over many of the basic support systems such as cables, braces, guys and props. Additionally it goes into detail about the best materials to use and their placement in the tree.
