Course Description:
This course examines the identification, diagnosis, and management of beech leaf and bark diseases in ornamental, urban, and woodland settings. Landscape architects will learn to recognize visual symptoms such as leaf banding, canopy decline, bark lesions, scale-related damage, and secondary fungal impacts. The course emphasizes integrated management, monitoring, sanitation, site stress reduction, species selection, and the role of collaboration with arborists, pathologists, and public agencies when managing high-value beech trees.
