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

HI. I’M RYAN BRUMGAUGH.

AND I’M TYLER BRUMBAUGH. WELCOME TO TREE TALK THE NEXT GENERATION.

TODAY’S TOPIC: THE TWO TYPES OF TREES THAT SHOULD BE TRIMMED THIS TIME OF YEAR.

FIRST… THE BRADFORD PEAR.

THE REASON WHY TO TRIM THESE NOW IS BECAUSE IN THE WARM SEASON, HEAT AND MOISTURE CAN CAUSE FIRE BLIGHT IN THE TREE.

AND IF THE TREE GETS THIS, A WHOLE LIMB CAN DIE AFTER WHICH THE ENTIRE LIMB HAS TO BE REMOVED.

WHEN THIS HAPPENS, TOOLS HAVE TO BE DISINFECTED AFTER EACH CUT, SO IT’S IDEAL TO AVOID THIS.

THE OTHER IS THE PIN OAK TREE.

THE REASON TO TRIM THESE BETWEEN NOVEMBER FIRST AND APRIL FIRST IS TO AVOID OAK WILT.

WHEN A WOUND IS OPENED IN THE WARM SEASON, THE TREE’S SAP HAS AN ODOR WHICH DRAWS BUGS TO THE TREE WHO IN TURN STOP THE TRANSFORMATION OF WATER AND NUTRIENTS.

THIS LEADS TO OAK WILT. THE TREE COULD DIE.

THERE ARE SO MANY INTERESTING THINGS LEARN ABOUT TREE MAINTENANCE AND CARE. TUNE IN WEEKLY.

THAT’S IT FOR THIS EDITION OF TREE TALK, THE NEXT GENERATION.

UNTIL NEXT TIME, THIS TYLER BRUMBAUGH

AND THIS IS RYAN BRUMBAUGH.THANKS FOR LISTENING.
