Larry:

HI I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH. WELCOME TO TREE TALK. OKAY, TOO MUCH RAIN, TOO MUCH MOISTURE, FIRST OF ALL WE WOULD START OFF WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS. YOU WOULD HAVE STEM SWELLING, LIKE THE BRANCH WOULD ACTUALLY SWELL UP. YOU’D HAVE TWIG DIEBACK FROM THE TIPS BACK. YOU COULD HAVE WILTING OF THE LEAVES, LEAF DROP, AND YOU COULD ALSO HAVE ROOT DEATH. AND THERE WOULD BE NO MORE WAY OF TRANSPIRING NUTRIENTS UP THROUGH THE TREE, WATER AND STUFF BECA– USE TOO MUCH WATER CAN ACTUALLY DROWN THE ROOT SYSTEM. AND THEN YOU’D HAVE SOME OF THE CA– USE FACTORS WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE WATER LOG SOIL LIKE IF YOU HAVE A BIG BODY OF WATER OR LIKE A POOL AROUND YOUR TREE AND IT DOESN’T DRY UP. WHAT THAT DOES IT ACTUALLY CA– USES OXYGEN DEFICIENCY IN THE ROOT SYSTEM BECA– USE IT CAN’T GET ANY OXYGEN BECA– USE THE WATER IS COVERING UP. YOU CAN HAVE FIBORUS ROOT DIE THAT CAN DECAY THAT CAN DECAY. THEY’RE UNABLE TO TAKE UP WATER, WHICH I MENTIONED. SOME OF THE CONTROL MEASURES THAT YOU THAT YOU MIGHT LOOK FOR WHEN YOU ARE PLANTING TREES…PLANT THE RIGHT TYPE OF TREE IN THE RIGHT LOCATION. LOOK FOR THE RIGHT KIND OF SOIL. IF IT’S A REALLY WET SOIL, THERE’S CERTAIN KINDS OF TREES YOU DON’T WANT TO PLANT THERE. BUT IF WE HAVE A LOT OF RAIN, SOME OF THAT STUFF YOU KNOW CAN’T BE CONTROLLED. THAT’S IT FOR THIS WEEK’S EDITION OF TREE TALK. UNTIL NEXT TIME, I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH, THANKS FOR LISTENING.
