Arthur Lainsley

Arthur Lansley is our dendrologist and expert on trees, shrubs, and landscape design.
Arthur has been fascinated by the power and beauty of trees since childhood, spending his summers in the forests of Oregon. His passion grew into a profession: he earned a degree in forestry and dendrology from Cornell University.
For over 15 years, Arthur worked as an arborist and landscape designer at Portland Nurseries, specializing in ornamental shrubs, conifers, and the creation of private garden spaces. He is an ISA-certified arborist and a true expert in tree disease diagnosis and rejuvenation methods.
Arthur currently advises private landowners and municipal services on the preservation of old-growth trees and the selection of sustainable varieties for different climate zones. In his garden in Vermont, he collects rare species of maples and magnolias, experimenting with their shaping.
In his articles for GardenWiseHub, Arthur not only gives practical advice on pruning and care, but also teaches readers to understand the “language” of trees, seeing them not just as an element of the landscape, but as living, long-lived companions.
