Join other MGVs who love to learn and hone your diagnostic skills at the same time! Good diagnostics starts with proper identification! Is it a pine a spruce, a larch, a hemlock or a spruce-pine??? There are many different species of conifers and with them comes a variety of pest problems. The morning session, “Conifers Through the Seasons,” will focus on conifer identification and pests, including some of the most common conifer problems that we encounter in the landscape. In the afternoon you will have an opportunity to practice your diagnostic skills on a variety of plant problems, not just conifers. There will be hands-on samples for you to challenge your abilities, helping you to increase your confidence in diagnosing plant problems.
