Urban ArboristsBill Logan founded Urban Arborists to care for trees and shrubs where they matter most: in cities and suburbs, where they are often people's chief link to the natural world. Throughout the tri-state area, from backyard gardens in Bed-Stuy, to Manhattan townhouses, to cathedral and museum grounds, to New York City streets, to Westchester homes and estates, Urban Arborists brings the highest standards of knowledge, attention and care to the woody plants that transform lots into landscapes, yards into gardens, streets into groves. Of InterestYou can now take a tree canopy walk four stories high and slide into a person-sized bird's nest at The Morris Arboretum. It's a great way to see trees the way birds (and arborists) see them.. To see great conifers, visit Bayard Cutting Arboretum in East Islip Swarthmore College, near Philadelphia, has one of the best arboreta in the East. The trees and shrubs are beautiful, well-labeled, and appropriately used in garden settings. For a wonderful day trip, take Amtrak to Philadelphia and the regional SEPTA line right to the Arboretum at the Swarthmore stop. Look at their website, Scott Arboretum If it's just too cold to admire trees outdoors, look at the lovely photographs by Larry Lederman in the Janet and Arthur Ross Gallery at The New York Botanical Garden.

For arborists, the two weeks after leaves emerge are not a good time to prune trees, but it’s a great time to plant.
