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 A REALLY DESTRUCTIVE INSECT. I MEAN THEY’VE KILLED BETWEEN TWENTY AND FIFTY MILLION ASH TREES ALREADY. NOW THEY’VE BEEN TRYING TO TREAT THEM, THEY’VE BEEN EFFECTIVE IN TREATMENT. I’M NOT SAYING IT HAS TO BE DONE YESTERDAY BUT THE EMERALD ASH BORER IS IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, IT HASN’T GOTTEN TO OUR AREA YET, YOU KNOW IT COULD BE A YEAR, IT COULD BE THREE YEARS. WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE WHEN IT’S GOING TO BE HERE, BUT THE BEST WAY TO PREVENT YOUR TREE FROM BEING KILLED BY THE EMERALD ASH BORER IS TO TREAT YOUR TREE AHEAD OF TIME. THE DIRECT INJECT IS A SYSTEM THAT’S OUT THERE, THAT’S BEEN OUT THERE FOR ABOUT TWELVE YEARS NOW. ACTUALLY THE BEST METHOD TODAY. IT’S BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, ITS SAFE FOR ANIMALS, PEOPLE, YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING OUT IN THE ATMOSPHERE ON THE GROUND, IT’S A METHOD WHERE YOU DON’T HAVE TO DRILL A HOLE INTO THE TREE WITH A DRILL BIT. WE TAKE A CORE OUT OF THE BARK AND THEN WE PUT A LITTLE WEDGLE, IT’S LIKE A LITTLE RUBBER PLUG IN THERE AND THEN WE INJECT A NEEDLE WITH AN APPLICATOR AND WE GIVE THE TREE A SHOT. KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR AND WE PULL IT OUT AND GO TO THE NEXT INJECTION SITE. I DON’T FEEL THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE TO DRILL INTO A TREE WHEN THERES A NO DRILL METHOD OUT THERE. USUALLY UPTAKE CAN BE WITHIN TWO WEEKS. THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. AND IT NORMALLY LASTS UP TO TWO YEARS, SO YOU ONLY HAVE TO HAVE YOUR TREE INJECTED EVERY THIRD YEAR.
