Tree Identification
Dr. Jerrold Turney, Instructor
Saturdays, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm April 7th May 5th
Do you know the trees of Southern California? Get to know your local trees! This class will teach you about different trees on each of three Saturdays for a total of 60 trees. Each class will have a one hour lecture that will cover 20 tree species followed by a walk in the Arboretum to see the trees that were covered during the lecture.
Dr. Jerrold Turney, plant pathologist and certified arborist, will teach you to identify trees, their growth habit, their native country, how they should be cared for, any common diseases or insect pests that attack them, and the best place in your garden to plant them.
Dr. Turney has served as the curator of the camellia gardens at the Huntington Library and Botanic Gardens, a research horticulturist at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, and is currently the plant pathologist for the Department of Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and Measures for the County of Los Angeles.
