Ganesh Ujwal Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Even for animals there are veterinary hospitals, why there is no hospital for plants/trees? Edited December 29, 2014 by Ganesh Ujwal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Eh, how would that make sense? Like digging out your tree and bring it to another place to fix it up? Physiology of plants is not really conducive to medical treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Plant disease tends to happen at a slower pace so there is little need for emergency centres of treatment, plants tend to be fixed to the ground so easier to go to them rather than bring them to a central point, people have few sentimental attachments to plants... Although I am sure that plant hospitals will exist somewhere - but maybe under other names for special circumstances; maybe places with expert horticulturists for farmers, a meeting point with a bonsai dai-sensei for those that raise tiny trees etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) If your plants are in trouble I am sure you can find specialist horticulturists and/or agriculturists to help. I guess you could call these 'plant vets'. Maybe the International Society for Horticultural Science could offer some help in finding local contacts.

Phi for All Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I guess you could call these 'plant vets'. What a great job that would be. All bark and no bite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Tree surgeons? They treat trees for diseases as well as cut them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
