“Urban Forests as Citizen Science Laboratories,” Casey TreesRails-To-Trails Conservancy

��

Casey Trees engages citizen scientists through programs like phenology monitoring and urban tree inventories. Volunteers record data on tree species' responses to climate change and help test data collection methods. These citizen science projects generate large datasets with minimal resources while creating engagement opportunities for volunteers. The data informs Casey Trees' practices and the field of urban forestry. Maintaining momentum and consistency over long-term projects, as well as empowering volunteers, are ongoing challenges.

Young trees require ongoing care and pruning just like young children do to establish strong structure for healthy growth. Without proper care, trees can develop structural issues and become more prone to damage. Regular pruning in the first few years helps encourage low-branching and a strong trunk, which results in trees that are 30 years later are much more sturdy and stable. The recommended care schedule is to survey and prune trees at least three times in the first three years, with additional optional visits available upon request to ensure young trees develop properly.

“Fruit for Families,” Sacramento Tree FoundationRails-To-Trails Conservancy

“Small trees, big flavor: fruit tree growing in cities and back yards,” Trees...Rails-To-Trails Conservancy

��

This document discusses growing fruit trees in urban spaces and provides guidance on training trees into a tall spindle shape to control their size. It notes that untreated fruit trees can grow too tall for easy harvesting and maintenance. The tall spindle technique uses dwarfing rootstocks, branch bending, and pruning the leader to control tree height while maximizing fruit production. Branches are bent horizontally and the largest ones removed annually to encourage fruiting and prevent the tree from becoming too large for its space.
