Tree Care 101: Tree Root Systems and Air Spade Demo
Tree Root Systems Lecture & Air Spade Demonstration April 18, 2026 | 10:00–11:15 AM
Tree roots are the engine of the tree — yet they’re often the least understood. This free seminar covers how roots grow, how soil conditions affect root health, and how improper care impacts long-term tree survival. The program includes a live air spade demonstration showing how arborists safely expose root systems to assess and address common problems.
Ideal for home gardeners, landscapers, and green-industry professionals. Participants are encouraged to bring questions and wear comfortable shoes, as the program includes walking to outdoor demonstration locations.
Led by: Michael Cook, Jr., ISA Certified Arborist & Superintendent, Kensico Cemetery Frank Molina, ISA Certified Arborist & Branch Manager, Davey Tree Experts, Inc.
Coffee and donuts will be available. Rain date: Saturday, April 25.
This program is free and offered as part of Kensico Cemetery’s designation as an ArbNet Level II Accredited Arboretum. Advance registration is required.
