The Arboretum is hosting classes titled "What Tree is That" each month through May. We are looking forward to hearing Dr. Turney speak and learning how to identify trees throughout our area. It is great to be able to identify trees on a property as we are touring buyers through homes on the market, so we are excited to expand our knowledge. We are lucky that Pasadena has the City Trees and Tree Protection Ordinance and is home to the Pasadena Beautiful Foundation.
Below are the details from the Arboretum website. Hope to see you there!
Saturdays: 2/2/13, 3/2/13, 4/13/13, 5/11/13
10am-12noon$25 Arboretum members per class/$30 per non-member (include Arboretum admission)

Do you know the trees of Southern California? We have one of the most
diverse urban forests in the USA. This class will teach you about 15 different trees on each of four Saturdays for a total of 60 trees, beginning on February 2, 2013. Each one hour lecture will cover 15 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.
