arboriculture

n. cultivation of trees and shrubs

Arboriculture is the selection, planting, care, and removal of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants and the study of how they grow and respond to cultural practices and the environment.The purpose is generally to manage trees, usually in a garden or urban setting, for plant health and longevity, pest and pathogen resistance, risk management and ornamental or aesthetic reasons. In this, it needs to be distinguished from forestry, which is the commercial production and use of timber and other forest products from plantations and forests. Arboriculture can be considered to have a similar relationship to forestry as gardening has to agriculture.
