Root Management

ISA has developed a series of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the purpose of interpreting tree care standards and providing guidelines of practice for arborists, tree workers, and the people who employ their services. The Root Management BMP provides arborists with recommended practices and guidance for inspecting, pruning, and directing the roots of trees to promote the trees’ longevity while minimizing infrastructure conflicts. This 2nd edition print includes updated and brand-new full-color illustrations. Topics in this BMP include: Root Systems Root Inspection Root Pruning Minimizing Conflicts with Infrastructure.
