SUMMARY:Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ginkgo But Were Afraid to Ask by Peter Del Tredici | Lecture\, Lunch & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Peter has been studying the natural history and evolution of this tree for the last thirty-five years and is a world authority on the subject. His travels have taken him to remote areas in eastern and southwest China in search of wild-growing Ginkgos as well as to old estates and botanical gardens in Europe and the United States. He is an expert on the cultivation of Ginkgo trees for ornamental purposes as well as for the production of leaves used in the production of medicinal extracts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Del Tredici is a botanist specializing in the growth and development of trees. He retired from the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University in 2014 after working there as a plant propagator\, editor of Arnoldia\, Director of Living Collections\, and Senior Research Scientist for 35 years. He taught in the Landscape Architecture Department at the Harvard Graduate School of Design for 24 years\, and the Urban Planning Department at MIT for three years. He has published over a hundred scientific articles on a wide variety of subjects including: the taxonomy and cultivation of hemlocks and Stewartias\, the history of plant introductions from Japan and China\, the ecology and evolution of the Ginkgo tree\, and the morphology of vegetative regeneration in trees. Since 2004\, his research has focused on urban ecology and climate change\, and in 2010 he published the widely acclaimed\, Wild Urban Plants of the Northeast: A Field Guide (Cornell U. Press\, 2010; 2nd ed. 2020). \nLecture\, Lunch & Book Signing $48  /  Book $34.95 \nWednesday\, April 10\n11 a.m. – 2 p.m.\nClick HERE to Register and Order Books \nWe recommend purchasing books in advance and picking them up at check-in. Limited copies will be available for sale on the day of events.
