IT’S TIME FOR TREE TALK… YOUR WEEKLY NINETY SECONDS OF TOTALLY TREES RADIO PRESENTED BY BRUMBAUGH TREE SERVICE LLC.

Larry:

THE EMERALD ASH BORER IS THE BIGGEST TOPIC SINCE TWO THOUSAND TWO IN THE FOREST AND URBAN AREAS. IT’S KILLED THIRTY MILLION TREES ALREADY. AS OF OCTOBER SIXTH TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE HAS CONFIRMED FOURTEEN MORE COUNTIES THAT THE EMERALD ASH BORER HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN. ADAMS COUNTY IS NOT ONE OF THEM. THEY’RE NOT HERE YET BUT EVENTUALLY THEY ARE GOING TO BE HERE. THERE’S NO STOPPING THEM SO IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME BUSINESSES TELLING PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE PROBABLY HERE; WE AT BRUMBAUGH TREE SERVICE ARE NOT GOING TO TELL PEOPLE THAT THEY’RE HERE UNTIL THEY’VE BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE OR ANY OTHER AGENCY THAT IS AUTHORIZED TO CONFIRM THAT. WE TELL OUR CUSTOMERS THAT IT’S BETTER TO PLAN AHEAD AND PROTECT THEIR TREES THAN TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY GET HERE BECA– USE THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE TOO LATE. ALSO, EVERY TREE DOESN’T NEED TO BE SAVED; EVERY TREE IS DIFFERENT, THE SIZE, THE LOCATION, THEIR CONDITION, THE VALUE TO YOUR PROPERTY OR SHADE VALUE AND WE DON’T — USE A DRILL BIT. IT’S NOT BENEFICIAL TO THE TREE; WE — USE A NEEDLE TO INJECT OUR TREES FROM THE EMERALD ASH BORER. AND THIS CAN BE DONE FROM SPRING TO FALL, AS LONG AS THE SAP IS FLOWING IN THE TREE.
