Management & Prevention

I serve as an Arboricultural Consultant focusing on the efficacy of phosphonate treatments and bark applications. My work involves a rigorous comparative analysis of chemical intervention versus cultural management practices in urban-wildland interfaces. I evaluate the physiological response of Quercus agrifolia to various preventative protocols, documenting the cost-benefit ratios for private landowners. By contrasting long-term survival rates across diverse soil compositions, I provide technical guidance that moves beyond theory into practical, site-specific applications for managing Sudden Oak Death in residential settings.
