Diagnosis in context
Next Word
Flip Card
Diagnosis must be done in the context of the plant’s environment. For example, is a tree in a routinely irrigated lawn or in a site with limited irrigation? Does the site have an open area for root spread or is the root system limited by poor soils or hardscape features? For example, a client calls with concerns that her tree looks wilted. Should she water more? After asking questions, it is discovered that the tree is located in a construction site and had most of the root system cut. Understanding the context of the root damage is essential to addressing the watering issue.

Visualizing the plant
Next Word
Flip Card
A useful tool in diagnosing trees is visualizing the plant, that is creating a mental picture of it and its surroundings. As you create the picture, ask questions about details. Verify the details. Explain to the client that you are trying to create a mental picture of their plant problem will encourage them to more patiently provide the needed information.

When working with clients, repeat back their description in your own words. This helps clear up miscommunications about symptoms.
