For this talk, Lee will discuss why and how we utilize trees in the landscape, how to select healthy nursery stock, how to properly asses a site and install plant material correctly, and ultimately how to manage trees in the landscape to ensure their long-term survival.
Lee Rumble is a Tennessee native with over two decades in the arboricultural industry. He received his International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Arborist Certification in May of 2010, and would follow up this milestone with an A.S. in Horticulture (2014), a B.S. in Plant and Soil Science (2016), and an M.S. in Botany (2019)— even conducting his master’s research in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Following graduation, Lee always knew he would call east Tennessee his forever home.
In January of 2020, Lee joined the Knox County Extension Office as an Extension Agent in Agriculture and Natural Resources. Lee’s close working relationship with the public prior to his schooling, along with his desire to be both a life-long learner and educator is precisely what led him to UT Extension. Lee works closely with commercial landscapers, nursery producers, fellow arborists, and the residents of Knox County in order to promote the proper management and care of plant material in both urban and rural landscapes.
