That's eight six six five nine six five three nine
six And joining us this morning from Ham's Arborcare, mister
(00:29):
Kevin Ham and Kevin Earth Day is today, which means
it's a nice day to think about about planting. And
I know with storms are the things that I've come through.
There may be a blank spot in folks yard or
the perfect spot folks has been thinking about putting a
tree in the ground, and h boy, oh boy, you've
got a fantastic option obviously a number of different species
(00:49):
and options with the Legacy Treeps program. One how you
doing this morning? And two what a great day to
plant a tree.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Isn't it? It certainly is, Sean. You know this morning
I just raked all the coals into the middle of
the boiler for the final burnout. The heating season is
coming to an end. I kept it alive for those
last few chilly mornings and and so that that's coming
(01:18):
to a close. But storm season has arisen, and so
we have been very busy doing a lot of removals
this week and and last week. And you know, yeah,
it's leaving some open spaces in the yards. So you know,
maybe you live in a newer neighborhood with with open
(01:38):
spaces or you just had open spaces created. Well, now
now the chance to get a legacy tree in there
and and start experiencing the joy of watching a new
tree grow. And we we of course kind of take
care of that tree for the first five years, which
is an unprecedented five year warranty, and we do the
(02:00):
training prouting on those sean.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And and for people that don't know, you think about
getting that tree well established is not only after after
the installation, the planting of the tree, not only are
you taking care of it for years to come. Kind
of looking back to Kevin, uh, these legacy trees were
were planted and and and uh uh big made to
(02:24):
to to be successful is from from the moment they
were a seed to to the moment that that they're
put in the ground at their at their forever home. Uh,
these these trees are It's it's an entire process to
to ensure that that tree has got the greatest success
and is going to is going to be the uh
be that that perfect ideal tree in somebody's yard. It
(02:45):
don't weigh, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah? Yeah, you know, the the nursery process is a
very important process. And and there's been some discussion over
the years on nursery practices, and you know, there's there's
things that are develops for efficiencies and different things, and
they may have unintended consequences. And some of those consequences
(03:07):
involved the rootstone of those trees and how the roots
are established early on and uh, maybe they're they're predisposed
to a circling pattern which can cause girdling roots, which
is an early life ending problem of a lot of trees.
(03:29):
And so what Legacy Trees has done is created a
platform literally like a palette, which creates a root plate,
which is what develops in the forest is a root plate,
uh and not a root ball. And and that brownie
that we affectionately refer to as is is filled with fine,
(03:54):
adventitious roots and properly directionally orientated thinker roots and lateral
roots and so you get you get the roots structure
that you need, and then it establishes very quickly. And
that's why we can constantly give a five year warranty
is because of that foundation that most people don't even
(04:18):
ever see. You would never know one tree sticking in
the ground versus another unless you're a trained professional.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Until you and I started talking, Kevin, I'd never crossed
my mind to the bed like it'd never I'd never
thought of it. And then it's like, oh, wait, this
is this is a way better way way to do
this stuff. Obbs. And as we talked this morning with
Kevin Ham, Haams Barborcare of course website Hamsarborcare dot com.
That's h A M. M Sarborcare dot com. Tellph number
eight six six five nine six five three nine six.
(04:47):
That's eight six six five nine six five three nine six.
I started to notice lace late last week into the weekend.
I started seeing some some budding happening on trees, and
I really quickly noticed in the woods in my house.
It's really filling in that happens really quick for for
folks right now looking at their trees, are certain things
they should be paying close attention to, or or what's
(05:10):
kind of this time of year what are some of
those areas that that maybe may become issues in something
you want to want to identify as you can.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, the significant thing is do not prune your oak trees.
Of course we're doing some prune. I'm pruning some oak
trees today because of the storm. But we're going to uh,
you know, cover our finish cuts with pruning spray. And
I know you know, we we preach against pruning spray
uh for most applications, but in this application of pruning
(05:43):
oak trees in April, May or June, an absolute must
to cover at least the staff would of that cut
to avoid transmission of oak wilt over land. And so
that's a significant thing we want to get on all
of our trucks and we want our homeowners to understand.
(06:03):
You know, if you hit an oak tree with a
lawnmower and pull off a piece of bark, you should
cover that with prune and spray in April, May or June.
And you know, be be cognizant not to prune those
all that branch is kind of my way, I'll just
clip that off. Well, you could be ending the life
of your tree potentially, So it's a significant reality.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And and now that we're into that obviously time of here,
and you mentioned too, there is there is still some
need storm damage and other things that nice clean cut
to protect it and putting the putting, the the the
covering on that with with those type of things, Kevin,
for folks that that may have noticed something, you know,
over the over this past winter or with this most
recent storm, that storm damage. You guys, are you guys
(06:49):
are filling up that calendar obviously emergencies right away first
and foremost, but you guys are also getting folks on
the calendar this time here to get all of that,
all of that stuff taken care of for a successful season,
aren't you absolutely?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
In fact, just just uh, it was Monday, Yeah, Monday.
We we tied in a regular calendar job because it
was in between two storm jobs. It's quite all right,
well you know it's right there. I mean, we've got
a plethora of work. It doesn't help us to drive
(07:24):
by a job that we have to get done anyways,
So for logistical purposes, we tied in that regular They
didn't have a stitch of storm damage in their yard
at a at a block block and a half away.
We were, you know, take a broken white pine out
of the yard. So but we we tied that one
in because it's you know, it's there on the schedule.
(07:46):
So we schedule logistically and and try to you know,
serve our clients as best we possibly can't. Uh. So, yes,
we are, you know, out there doing estimates. You know,
people are all in. They didn't have storm works, but boy,
the storm sure didn't make them think about their tree. Yeah,
and so Taylor's out there scrambling to the storm calls,
(08:08):
but he's also filling in those those regular calls so
that we you know, we can keep our our clients
all served. So yeah, we are doing all all things.
And this is go time of the year, that is
for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:26):

I've got those trees out there, it's a great day
to get on the calendar with Kevin and the team
