Larry:

HI, I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH. WELCOME TO TREE TALK. I’VE TALKED BEFORE ABOUT THERE’S CERTAIN TYPES OF TREES THAT SHOULD BE TRIMMED BEFORE APRIL BEFORE THEY START BUDDING OUT AND LEAFING OUT. BECA– USE OF YOU KNOW DISEASE AND THEY CAN BE DAMAGED BY INSECTS. THREE OF THE TREES, SPECIFICALLY, WOULD BE THE BRADFORD PEARS BECA– USE WHEN IT STARTS GETTING INTO END OF APRIL, MAY AND JUNE, IT STARTS WARMING UP, THEY HAVE A REAL GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING FIRE BLIGHT. IF YOU GET FIRE BLIGHT IT CAN POTENTIALLY INFECT THE WHOLE TREE. MOST OF THE TIME WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE OUT SELECTIVE LIMBS THAT GET IT AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR IT CAN HOPEFULLY BE OKAY. CRAB APPLE TREES, THEY’LL ALSO GET FIRE BLIGHT. ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS IS PIN OAKS. PIN OAKS, IF YOU TRIM THEM FROM APRIL TO END OF OCTOBER, THERE’S A CHANCE THAT THEY CAN GET WHAT’S CALLED OAK WILT. AND OAK WILT IS ACTUALLY CA– USED BY A BARK BEETLE. IF THESE TYPE OF TREES AREN’T TRIMMED YOU KNOW BY AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF APRIL, NO LATER, I DON’T EVEN RECOMMEND THAT BUT I WOULD WAIT UNTIL FALL BECA– USE THERE’S NO SENSE IN TAKING A CHANCE UNLESS THE TREE IS GOING TO CA– USE DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY OR PEOPLE, THEN YOU KNOW YOU CAN HAVE THEM TRIMMED ON. BUT I WOULD DO THEM SELECTIVELY. I WOULD YOU KNOW RECOMMEND THAT YOU HAVE A CERTIFIED ARBORIST TO COME LOOK AT YOUR SITUATION BEFORE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE ANY TRIMMING DONE. THAT’S IT FOR THIS WEEK’S EDITION OF TREE TALK. UNTIL NEXT TIME, I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH. THANKS FOR LISTENING.
