I share your concerns and have always slightly worried about the term
'arboriculturist' as being too much for most members of the public.
Personally, I have no difficulty with tree consultant or tree
specialist, either of which seem to me to convey the necessary
information in a simple and understandable fashion. They also sit
well with Tree Officer, a term quite familiar to the public at large.
Nevertheless, it is true that our profession is that of arboriculture
so the -ist does follow quite naturally from that.
Quite so; Still as a MicFor you will know that the Institute calls you an
arborist. What is the gender equivalent of treeman - treelady perhaps
(anyone for pushing urns around?)
