Larry:

HI. I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH. WELCOME TO TREE TALK. EVERYBODY’S HEARD A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE EMERALD ASH BORER. YOU KNOW, IT’S BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE AWHILE. IT IS ACTUALLY GETTING CLOSER, PROBABLY WITHIN, I WOULD SAY GALESBURG, IT’S BEEN REPORTED THAT CLOSE. THEY ARE GOING TO BE HERE BUT RIGHT NOW WITH THE SPRINGTIME HERE AND THE TREES ARE STARTING TO BUD OUT, AND THE SAPS STARTING TO FLOW, THIS IS WHEN WE, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY START TREATING FOR THE EMERALD ASH BORER. YOU CAN ACTUALLY TREAT BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, NOW AND THE END OF SUMMER, TOWARDS FALL, BUT SPRINGTIME IS NORMALLY THE BEST TIME BECA– USE YOU GOT THE BEST SAP FLOW THIS TIME OF YEAR. AND ON YOUR OAK WILT, OAK WILT’S USUALLY CA– USED BY PEOPLE TRIMMING ON YOUR TREE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, BETWEEN APRIL AND OCTOBER. SO IF YOU DIDN’T WANT TO HAVE OAK WILT, YOU KNOW IF SOMEONE WAS TRIMMING ON YOUR TREE, YOU CAN STILL HAVE IT HAVE IT INJECTED TO HOPEFULLY PREVENT THAT. YOU CAN STILL GET OAK WILT NATURALLY FROM THE TREES GROWING AND THE BARK CRACKING AND THEN LETTING THE A SAP OOZE OUT AND THAT ATTRACTS THE BARK BEETLES. I MEAN YOU COULD ACTUALLY TREAT FOR THAT SO YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET THE OAK WILT. THAT’S IT FOR THIS WEEK’S EDITION OF TREE TALK. UNTIL NEXT TIME, I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH. THANKS FOR LISTENING.
