Minimum Industry Standards : Tree Health and Maintenance MIS313

This book is one in a series of Minimum Industry Standards produced by Arboriculture Australia Ltd in consultation with the national industry community. These peer-reviewed documents explain the core standards of skills and equipment with which practitioners should be familiar.

This standard covers the various inter-related work tasks of cultural remediation, chemical application and other tree care practices, which together are described as tree maintenance. A brief summary is provided of the underpinning tree health knowledge necessary to identify tree stress symptoms and causes and select treatments. This standard is not a standalone document, and must be read in conjunction with other relevant Minimum Industry Standards which describe safe arboricultural work practices.
