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

Larry:

HI I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH. WELCOME TO TREE TALK. THE MOST COMMON TREE SELECTION QUESTION IS “WHAT KIND OF TREE SHOULD I PLANT?” AND BEFORE A HOMEOWNER CAN ANSWER THIS, THERE WOULD BE SEVERAL FACTORS THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO CONSIDER.  YOU KNOW THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE, WHY ARE YOU PLANTING A TREE IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU KNOW WHAT FUNCTION WILL IT SERVE? WILL IT LIKE SHADE THE HO– USE? SHADE YOUR OTHER PLANTS? IS IT JUST FOR THE AESTHETICS? YOU KNOW OF THE YARD, IF YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM IN BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO PLANT A LARGE TREE; YOU WOULD WANT TO PLANT A SMALLER TREE. ANOTHER THING WOULD BE, WHAT KIND OF CLEARANCE WOULD YOU HAVE LIKE FROM YOUR SIDEWALKS, YOUR PATIO, DRIVEWAYS. YOU KNOW YOU DON’T WANT TO PUT A TREE TWO FOOT OFF OF YOUR DRIVEWAY. IT’S GOING TO BUCKLE YOUR DRIVEWAY, IT’S GOING TO BE HANGING IN YOUR DRIVEWAY. ANOTHER THING IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU’RE GOING TO SELECT A TREE YOU NEED TO KNOW, DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT KIND OF SOIL CONDITIONS FOR THAT TYPE OF TREE? IS THERE ENOUGH SOIL AVAILABLE OF SUFFICIENT QUALITY TO SUPPORT A MATURE TREE AS IT GROWS. I MEAN THERE’S A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU JUST GO OUT AND YOU KNOW, PLANT A TREE. EVERYBODY SAYS “OH, I LIKE THAT TREE. IT’S A BEAUTIFUL TREE.” BUT IS THAT BEAUTIFUL TREE GOING TO BE THE RIGHT TREE FOR THE SPOT THAT YOU’RE PUTTING IT IN. THAT’S IT FOR THIS WEEK’S EDITION OF TREE TALK. UNTIL NEXT TIME, I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH. THANKS FOR LISTENING.
