We are pleased to announce the 2nd ISHS Symposium on Woody Ornamentals of the Temperate Zone. The symposium will take place on 1 – 4 July 2012 in the historical city of Ghent, Belgium. This symposium is organised by the Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research (ILVO) (Melle, Belgium) and Ghent University's Faculty of Bio-Science Engineering (Ghent, Belgium).
The symposium will cover all aspects of woody plant production and management: crop protection, cultural techniques, multiplication, breeding, biodiversity, effects of climate change on plant physiology, and more. Eight outstanding keynote lectures and more than 140 scientific contributions have now been confirmed.
The symposium also includes a field trip that will highlight the woody ornamental research projects at the Research Centre for Ornamental Plants (PCS) and ILVO. An additional post-congress tour gives you the opportunity to discover the dynamic and innovative woody ornamental industry in Belgium.
Registration for participation is now open.
We look forward to seeing you in Belgium in July!

Convener
