Dr. Ed Gilman  “An Illustrated Guide to Pruning“

Ed Gilman 博士是“修剪圖解指南”的作者，可以說是我們行業中關於樹木修剪的最完整和最易獲取的參考資料。這份綜合性的文本幫助無數專業的樹藝師和樹木外科醫生了解了培訓、修剪和修剪樹木的最佳實踐。

吉爾曼博士在佛羅里達大學工作和任教 30 多年，發表了 120 多篇科學論文。作為環境園藝系城市樹木和景觀植物的教授，他與樹木學家、顧問、景觀承包商、種植者、城市林業工作者、規劃師、景觀設計師和其他從事樹木選擇、種植、種植和管理問題的人一起工作。他的研究包括樹木修剪、錨地、根系、灌溉和施肥。吉爾曼教授還對使用適當的訓練和修剪進行了廣泛的研究，以幫助減少嚴重風事件（即颶風等）對成熟樹木的損害。

他於 2016 年夏天從學術界退休，但仍積極參與 ISA Florida 和 ANSI 修剪標準委員會。他對商業樹藝師的教育特別感興趣。

Dr. Ed Gilman is the author of “An Illustrated Guide to Pruning“, arguably the most complete and accessible reference on tree pruning in our industry. This comprehensive text has helped to inform countless professional arborists and tree surgeons on the best practices of training, trimming and pruning trees.

Dr. Gilman worked and taught at the University of Florida for over 30 years, publishing over 120 scientific papers. As a professor of Urban Trees and Landscape Plants in the Department of Environmental Horticulture, he worked with arborists, consultants, landscape contractors, growers, urban foresters, planners, landscape architects and others engaged in tree selection, growing, planting and management issues. His research included tree pruning, anchorage, roots, irrigation, and fertilization. Professor Gilman also did extensive research into the use of proper training and pruning to help reduce the damage to mature trees in severe wind events, i.e. hurricanes, etc.

He retired from academia in the summer of 2016 but remains actively involved with ISA Florida and with the ANSI Pruning Standards committee. He is particularly interested in the education of commercial arborists.
