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. ALL THROUGH THE SPRING IS THE BEST TIME TO TRIM ON YOUR OAK TREES, YOUR BRADFORD PEARS, HAVE THEM THINNED OUT, RAISED UP. ALSO AMERICAN ELMS, THERE’S NOT VERY MANY AMERICAN ELMS LEFT BUT DEFINITELY DON’T TRIM ON THEM ONLY IN THE DORMANT SEASON. BECA– USE THEY’RE REALLY TEMPORMENTAL TREES, THEY CAN BECOME DISEASED AND DIE. YOUR OAK TREES, THEY’RE NOT SUSCEPTABLE TO OAK WILT WHEN THEY’RE DORMANT. THERE’S NO BARK BEETLES PRESENT BECA– USE THEY’RE ALL HIBERNATING. FIRE BLIGHT IS REALLY BAD, AND IT WAS REALLY BAD THIS YEAR. PEAR TREES GET IT BAD, CRACK APPLES GET IT BAD. TRIM ON THEM WHEN THEY’RE DORMANT, YOU DON’T HAVE A SAP FLOW AND THE INGREDIENTS THAT CREATE THE DISEASES. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK “OH SPRINGTIME’S COMING, HAVE MY TREES TRIMMED.”  MOST TREES YOU CAN TRIM YEAR ROUND BUT THERE’S A FEW THAT WE DON’T EVEN TOUCH IN THE HOT SEASONS. WE ONLY DO THEM WHEN THEY’RE DORMANT AND THAT’S A FEW OF THEM. ANOTHER GOOD REASON WHY YOU WANT TO TRIM YOUR OAK TREES, IS BECA– USE A LOT OF TIMES THEY HAVE DEAD WOOD IN THEM AND IN THE WINTER YOU KNOW WE HAVE ICE AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND IF WE HAPPEN TO HAVE AN ICE STORM, IT’D BE BETTER TO GET THE DEAD WOOD OUT OF IT BEFORE THE ICE WOULD BREAK IT OFF. THAT’S IT FOR THIS EDITION OF TREE TALK. UNTIL NEXT TIME, I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
