What is an Arborist?

An arborist, arboriculturalist or tree surgeon is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, which is the management and maintenance of ornamental or shade trees. Work can include tree surgery and also care of shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants.

An arborist's work may involve very large and complex trees, or ecological communities and their components in the context of the landscape ecosystem, including monitoring and treatment to ensure they are healthy, safe, and suitable to property owners or community standards. This work may include some or all of the following: planting; transplanting; pruning; structural support; preventing, or diagnosing and treating phytopathology or parasitism; preventing or interrupting grazing or predation; installing lightning protection; and removing vegetation deemed as hazardous, an invasive species, a disease vector, or a weed.

In the USA a Certified Arborist is a professional who has over three years experience and has passed a rigorous written test from the International Society of Arboriculture.
