• Review foundation knowledge in plant identification and culture as needed to properly build expertise specific to deciduous trees.
• Explain classification, identification and culture of plants, from the genus Acer.
• Explain classification, identification and culture of plants, from the genus Betula.
• Explain classification, identification and culture of plants, from the genus Fraxinus.
• Explain classification, identification and culture of plants, from the genus Quercus.
• Explain classification, identification and culture of plants, from the genus Prunus.
• Review a range of other significant deciduous tree genera not covered previously in this course.
• Plan the selection and establishment of a collection of different cultivars of deciduous trees suited to growing in a specified locality.
