Welcome to
www.pruningman.com
Growing up in Michigan, I was raised by two artists, and got of a significant amount of art instruction from an early age. For my part, adults around me had their hands full trying to keep me out of trees, the Silver Maple in our front yard in particular. Like many of us, I never really lost that early, innate affinity for trees. I spent most summers earning extra money doing yard work, having several regular customers in my neighborhood. Immediately after High School, my first summer job was working for the City Parks Department of my home town during that very sad period when Dutch Elm disease was ravaging our town’s population of American Elm trees. I learned a lot from that experience, not least of which was how satisfying and enjoyable I found the work, in general, to be.
Annually attend workshop's/training seminars covering various aspects of tree/plant care and maintenance. I also maintain membership in several work related organizations and participate in mentor/mentoring relationship's with other pruning/plant care professionals.
| Please Note: If you're currently, or do become, a tree client, don't be unduly alarmed or surprised if someday you find my business card at your door or see me standing out in your yard. I'm not stalking you, really, I'm looking at your trees. A vital component of my continuing education involves revisiting tree's that I've pruned (months or even years in the past) to observe how they've responded to the pruning.
