    • This lecture examines the physiological principles underlying tree growth and development, with a focus on how these processes inform optimal pruning practices. Students will learn how seasonal changes, sap flow, and tissue regeneration affect pruning outcomes, including wound healing and tree health. The session emphasizes the importance of timing pruning interventions to minimize stress, prevent disease, and support sustainable arboricultural practices.
