At Arborsmiths Asheville, we practice what we call Relational Tree Care. That means beginning with a simple premise: a tree is not an object we manage. It is a living organism we enter into relationship with. A mature tree is continuously responding to wind, weather, soil, injury, decay, competition, pruning and its own growth. Good arboriculture requires understanding those relationships and intervening in ways that preserve as much of the tree's own biological and structural capacity as possible.
