 This
site offers guidelines on how to care for trees to keep them healthy and to protect them
from wounds. It also prescribes ways to prevent, recognize, and minimize damage by decay
that most often sets in after tree wounding.
Rx FOR WOUNDED TREES is part of a USDA Forest Service
program designed to provide information on the wise use and care of trees ... some of our
most versatile and renewable natural resources.
The booklet is part of a series of tree care booklets. The work was developed by Hal Marx, Forest
Service Application Staff Assistant for Research and is based on research in the Pioneer
Forestry Project of Dr. Alex L. Shigo, Chief Plant Pathologist at the Forest Service's
Northeastern Station. Acknowledgment is given to Dave Carroll, who illustrated the
booklet.
