Default Re: HELP!! - Wikipedia Definition of "Arborist"

Webster definition of horticulture -the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants Webster definition of arborculture-the cultivation of trees and shrubs especially for ornamental purposes Webster def of cultivation- the act or art of cultivating or tilling Webster def of cultivating-1: to prepare or prepare and use for the raising of crops; also : to loosen or break up the soil about (growing plants)2 a: to foster the growth of <cultivate vegetables> b: culture 2a c: to improve by labor, care, or study : refine <cultivate the mind> .So maybe I am starting the great debate here but to Webster dictionary is says nothing about climbing , rigging ,felling of trees I am not saying that these are not big part of some arborist job but they seem to be talking about a nurseryman as being a arborist . Hey Therinn sorry about the bashing earlier I have just seen to many people spraying down a trees leave when they water .Does anyone have Shigo definition .I let some borrow my Modern Arborculture book . Hey I would just like my spell check not to say Arborist is miss spelled .
