you've been really busy and we're going to talk about
a cable work, which is an interesting thing that you
guys do.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Uh uh.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
There's not a lot of folks that do it well
and you guys do it really well. Before that, real quick,
I did want to comment also, I mentioned gameoftrees dot com.
You've got a YouTube channel on Instagram. I'm a friend
of the show Doctor Hemkiss with Advocate MD. She's on
on Fridays, and you recently posted a little bit about
your experience with doctor Hemkiss and the team at Advocate MD.
(02:47):
For other business owners, it's great to see like these
relationships that that that develop and and really good people
helping other good people.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Absolutely, and I know she's we don't as a company yet,
but she does offer that, you know, like a program
for employees. Yeah, you know, as a alternative to regular
healthcare as it is that hams urbiccare. We don't provide
(03:17):
healthcareacters nobody, nobody wants that their spouse has it or
you know, they have other options that they do. What
I do, which I'm a self paid kind of person.
And I have a sharing program that then nests nicely
with the Advocate m D Direct Primary Care as a
(03:39):
you know all around. You know, you get your catastrophic covered,
you know, and then the subscription that you pay the
Advocate m D is just a great uh you know,
monthly you charge it's not that much, but you have
an appointment when you need it, and you know it's
a great service.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So it's absolutely it was. It's so cool to see
and uh.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
And I'll ask doctor Kiss about I'll let her know
on on Friday, also about about our conversation here and
and and Kevin. One of the things I think that
that we don't always think about is cabling and and
when you put in uh, you know, like trees that
are that have maybe some injuries and other things that
kind of need to be held together. One of the
(04:19):
options you are able to do is is cabling for
folks that don't know one what it is. It And
then let's talk about this this recent situation that you
that you were addressing involving putting a cable into to
really help protect not the homeowner's house, but a part
of a neighbor's property as well.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yes, you know, advancements come, you know, and and go
in true care you know, every you know, science is
always evolving, and and some methods that we use in
the past we don't use today, Like like filling of
cavities with concrete. Yeah, that was shown to be not
(05:02):
the best way to do it, and it's also not
the best for our saws later in the future. But
you know, the old way to cable was to you know,
drill a hole through, put a bolt in, and and
then secure it with you know, static cable in between.
And things evolved and they came up with these dynamic
(05:24):
systems to not invade the tree with a drill hole.
And it's proving, in my humble opinion, not to be
the best development because I've replaced several of these synthetic
systems that have failed or they're just not providing the
(05:48):
security that's necessary. And there's just no way that that
synthetic rope is going to stay in that tree for
for extended period of time. So you're it's kind of
a planned obsolescence kind of thing, and that's not necessarily
(06:08):
a positive thing. These these high aircraft grade cables that
we use, they're in the tree twenty years later, like
like something's happening to the tree before something happens to
this cable. And that's one thing that I really like about.
The other thing is that the drill hole. Yes, you
(06:30):
are invading the tree with a drill hole, but that
is responded to very well by the trees. Compartmentalization features
very little decay. And this has been shown in research
by doctor ed Gilman. He has dissected you know, cable
things you know, thirty years later, and.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
As have I.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Tables that I put in and subsequently we removed the
tree and so I was able to inspect the cable
and very no decay within that bolt area. And and
so that that is kind of a moot issue. But
what's great about is the tree compartmentalizes that bolt. It
grows right around it. I have one in my own
(07:15):
tree where the bolt is completely covered and uh, and
so that provides added strength as that's buried in the tree.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I gotta ask you, Kevin, is when you mentioned too
you talk about that, you know about you know, there's
there's a few they they haven't really improved on some
of the just the most natural of things, like like
iron and steel is just I mean it's pretty there.
It's a steel is a pretty amazing, amazing thing what
it's able to do. What are some and obviously when
(07:46):
you cut into a tree, there's dangers and I've seen
I've seen pictures of like trees that are trees, Uh,
bikes that have grown into trees andthing have you ever found?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
You?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I know you found some some unique things.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
We talked about that belly you found recently that was
up in a tree. Find anything else kind of unique
cutting into trees or things that the trees have grown
around over the years.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Yeah, I've come into a railroad spike in deep within
a cottonwood and it was right at my back cut
so horizontally, I'm hitting this spike horizontally with my saw
and to be a very significant problem, I had to
(08:28):
get in there and I finally got it out of
there and got the cut made. But yeah, so that
was one very interesting thing at railroad spike and I
had a nice big saw mark in that in that
it didn't do my my chain my I think I
had a forty eight inch chain on there. It was brutal.
(08:48):
But the another thing I found is is you know
te posts that that's a popular one because they're on
fence lines or something and plowshare, you know, all growing
into the tree trees, right, and it grew up through
the old flow, you know, and then just encapsulated it.
(09:09):
Uh you know, trees come up through the middle of
old cars, you know, and then and it just starts
growing around parts of the car. Oh wow, it's amazing
what they'll they'll do.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
That is is pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
As we talked this morning with Kevin Ham of Hams Arborcare,
maybe you don't got a tree growing around your car,
but you've got some questions by your tree, haven't had
it inspected recently? And of course right now is time
we fully appreciate all the great things that that trees
provide for us. It's a great reminder to make sure
that they're around for a very very long time. And
you can do just that. You gonna call it Ham's Arborcare.
(09:43):
Eight six six five nine six five three nine six.
That's eight six sixty five nine six five three nine six.
And Kevin, well, we're talking about trees in folks yard.
I know you guys are are working hard. You still
got a round of funge sidle sprays to go and
also looking at ash tree injections as well.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, you know, we're evolving through the spring here and
we've got Oliver. We just finished up kind of the
late late comers to our soil injection injected insexicides that
helped control Japanese beetles and stuff, and that's towards the
end of June, and so this is about the latest
(10:24):
we want to be injecting. It takes thirty days for
that to really get into the tree and be there,
so we're right on time for a late guane emergence
of those little devils. And then yeah, we're on our
third application of sprays next week and then after that
we'll start plugging in the ash trees. We like to
(10:45):
get to full leaf so that we get really solid
uptake on those. Oh but back to the cabling chop, Yes, yes,
all about that. The one that we're doing today is
actually protecting a dock of the neighbor. Oh you know,
(11:08):
so it has a crack is a super you know,
kind of a big tree and he doesn't want to
take it all the way down, and it's like, well,
what can we do? And it doesn't really threaten the house,
but you know, it's kind of foreboding for the neighbors.
So you know, just on a good face, he's going
to put something in there to reduce that risk potential.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That's that's great to hear as we talk about we
talk about protecting the tree, but also protecting property as well,
and of course safety issues also. That's a great thing
about working with Kevin and the team at Ham's Barborcare.
They will take care of your trees. They will work
to make sure that your trees are going to be
there for a very very long time.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I know.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
With spring also you think about planting some other things,
make sure you check out the trees available for planting
at Hams Arborcare. Of course those legacy trees as well.
