A new chapter is taking root

Coming soon.

Trees. Forests. Evidence. Experience.

Tree Doctor Online is being reimagined as an independent publication about trees, forests, arboriculture, and the complicated business of understanding nature.

The new site will draw on decades in the field, a lifelong interest in tree science, and a healthy skepticism toward easy answers.

New essays and field notes are on the way.

What you will find here

01 Field Notes Observations from trees, woods, landscapes, and the living world around us.
02 Tree Science Clear explanations of how trees grow, decline, adapt, and survive.
03 The Skeptical Arborist A closer look at myths, dogma, oversimplified advice, and unresolved questions.
04 Case Files Lessons and stories drawn from decades of professional arboricultural experience.

Tree Doctor Online is an educational publication. It does not provide individual tree diagnosis, site-specific recommendations, or tree-care services.
