Page description
Tree morphophysiology has evolved from tree architecture and can be defined as ‘the study of tree shape and structure in relation to function to achieve the goal of sustaining life’.
We’re pleased to provide an opportunity to delve into this refreshing view of tree growth, response and behaviour, above and below ground, with implications for managing trees at all stages of life.

Our ‘What is Arboriculture?’ video is here to promote the range of amazing career opportunities and variety of skillsets within arboriculture - Every amenity tree you see in your day-to-day lives is there because of the work of a long chain of professionals, perhaps dozens or even hundreds of individuals working in different areas of arboriculture, all part of the tree care community!
Inspiring, supporting and promoting the tree care community for a society that better appreciates and cares for trees.
The Arboricultural Association is the leading organisation in the UK for tree care professionals working in all areas of arboriculture, including central and local government, consultancy, contracting, management, production, policymaking, research and education. It has more than 3000 members in the UK and around the world, and is increasingly recognised as an international, as well as a national, leader in arboriculture.
