  • New Arboriculture, 3-Credit, Course at TDU

    New Arboriculture, 3-Credit, Course at TDU

    I’m pleased to share that my course, Introduction to Arboriculture and Urban Tree Management, at the Transdisciplinary University in Bengaluru is now live.

    It is a 3 credit course which can be attended entirely online, with a mix of prerecorded and live sessions.


    It covers basics of tree functions and characteristics, urban tree planting, pruning and assessment. The aim is to support the transition towards more informed, science-based and appropriate tree management practices in India.


    Developing arboriculture in India requires both knowledge and a shift in how we understand and manage trees in our urban environments.

    I hope this course can contribute to that process.

    You can find it here: Course link

    Duration:

    2nd January 2027, Saturday to 28th February 2027

    (10 weeks, live sessions on weekends only)

    Application Deadline: December 15th 2026

  • Tree Transplanting — Preliminary Feasibility & Logistics Estimator

    Tree Transplanting — Preliminary Feasibility & Logistics Estimator

    Successful tree transplanting requires both logistical precision and arboricultural knowledge. To simplify the process, I’ve built an online Tree Transplant Calculator that helps you determine the necessary dimensions and equipment for your move. Why? Because most people don’t know the basic logistical requirements involved in successful tree transplanting.

    Planning with Accuracy

    This tool helps you estimate root ball size and crane capacity by inputting tree DBH, height, lift radius (crane reach requirements), soil density, and wood density with tooltips for each parameter to help determine the values required for more accurate calculations.

    You can calculate the values for multiple trees and download the results in a PDF or CSV format.

    A Tool, Not a Plan

    Please note this is an estimating tool, not a final lift plan. It is designed to assist your planning and coordination with lifting supervisors, but a professional must always verify manufacturer load charts and create a formal Method Statement before any operation begins.

    Get Started

    You can access the calculator here: Tree Transplant Calculator. For more on the arboricultural side, check out our Basic Tree Transplanting guide, or reach out if you need professional services for your specific project.
