Detective Dendro®

Detective Dendro®

Since its conception in 2004, Detective Dendro, the Diagnostic Sleuth, has been a highly popular print series with a regular feature in Arborist News magazine. In 2010, this educational and entertaining series became available as one of our ArborPod™ series.

Join Detective Dendro as he uses his professional knowledge of tree science, expert diagnostic skills, and gut instincts of a “hard-boiled detective” to investigate and identify his clients’ biotic and abiotic tree disorders. Assisted by his young apprentice, Codit, they inspect a wide range of mysterious tree afflictions, dispel the “red herrings,” and uncover the signs and symptoms that lead them to accurately diagnose trees in a variety of exotic places.

The Detective Dendro podcast series and characters have evolved over many years. In order to stay attuned to and respectful of the diverse audiences served by ISA, certain episodes have been removed.
