Speaker 1 (00:00):
You recently came across a ginkgo tree where it could
be a rooster. It could be a hen. It could
have started out a hen and then became a rooster.
What's going on there, Yeah, it's just.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
A phenomenon you find in nature where you know, a tree,
if it's all by itself, it's above propagation, right, And
so some trees are manaceous. It means they have flowers
(00:33):
of both sexes on the same tree, and then there
are dioecious trees where the individual flowers are on separate trees,
the male and female tree. Most trees are male and
female on the same tree, and ginkgo is one of
those that has a male and female tree. And so
(00:55):
the fruit of a ginkgo tree is very ill smelling,
rotting fruit when it's on the ground, and they could
be very prolific. And so the female trees have traditionally
been avoided in propagation because you don't want them, you know,
on city streets. Madison has a lot of ginkgoats on
(01:16):
the terraces, and so they planted male trees. And this
was a tree in Madison that was probably planted as
a male tree, but over time somehow various branches at
least showed up with female flowers, and now the tree
(01:40):
was bearing fruit. And I'm sure it was thought to
be a male tree, but some of these trees revert
or you know, display female flowers in time, and so
it's kind of an interesting phenomenon occur. Probably was observing.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That that day that that's it's really interesting. And then
for folks that because I don't know a lot about
tree biology or anything like that, but you would be
the term not not biology, it's it's what pro candry.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
When a male tree then displays female.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And I did see. For folks that are curious, you
can of course check this out if you head on
over to Hamsarborcare dot com over to their Facebook or
social media page, you can actually see this and Kevin
explains pedandry it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
The word rogyny would be when the opposite, the female
tree produces.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Male flower with that and with that too, Kevin, Uh,
people wonder, well, what about like oaks and maples, right,
those are those This is not a concern for like
those type of trees, right, No, they have.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Both male and female flowers on the same tree.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Fast. See again, every time we talk. I learned something
absolutely mind blowing like and something to be quite honest,
I never thought it at all about.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
But next spring Sewan, you just notice when your oak
trees start to leaf out. Okay, you'll notice these kind
of fuzzy looking things hanging. They're cat kits. They're called
cat kits, but they're the male flowers. Oh. And you'll
see them predominantly hanging and the female flowers kind of
on a you know, unnoticeable on the on the oak trees,
(03:27):
but the male flowers are very noticeable, and and you'll
see them there and they're they're just you know, disversing
pollen that then touches the female flowers and you get
the acorns from the female flowers.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh, fascinating. Again, these are I never now when we're
looking straight up as I walk and Kevin, as we
talk about oaks.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And I look at it, we want to really go
down the rabbit hole. Yeah, you can have monaceous and
diacious flowers where you have blow hard of the male
and female on the same flower, or you have separate flops.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Gee, that is this is going to have to be
a whole series of videos. Kevin, I I think so.
I did want to ask about as you know, as
we mentioned oak trees too. I know I'm looking at
the looking at the calendar. We're into September, which means
we're getting closer and closer every data.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And I just look at the recent temperatures as well.
It's been quite chilly. Falls going to be here, Winter's
going to be here. It's time to be thinking oak trees,
isn't it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yes, our pruning for oak trees is arriving here in
the Madison area. August or October fifteenth is the cutoff. Now,
some village McFarland has a November first or November fifteenth,
it's November to March thirty first. I think it's November
(04:55):
first to March thirty first. Is the village of McFarland supportinate,
but they just like to be extra extra cautions, Kevin.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
With this weather we've had, with this kind of this
kind of a cold snap, at least to me, it
seems like a little early for these type of temperatures.
Is that going to affect fall colors? I know I
obsess over fall colors with you each and every year.
Is a good thing, bad thing? Or is it too
early to tell?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Predominantly the you know, the changing of the days, the
length of days is what really brings in these patterns.
Extreme temperatures come into play, you know, a small gradual
decline is beat okay to have the best display. If
(05:42):
you get a hard frost that actually kills leaves, which
generally has to be below twenty eight degrees fahrenheyke, that
will will kill some leaves, and then that that just
makes them turn brown, you know, and you get a
lack of display. Where you get the great display is
(06:04):
when the chrophyll gradually depreciates in the leaf, and then
the other colors become more prominent. The green is the
most prominent reflection of light, and it's when that green
chorophyll declines in the leaves that the other colors become visible.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Is this as we think too about this time of year,
and for folks that are you know, and who doesn't
get excited for fall colors those type of things, thinking
about finding the right tree, a good tree, if you're
looking for fall colors, or maybe you're looking for a
specific height or fill a specific space. It's a really
nice time right now to be having that conversation, isn't
it Kevin about putting and getting a tree, getting a
(06:46):
tree planted. So we've still got time this fall, don't.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
We Absolutely, you know, we can put it in a
tree as long as we don't have fraud. Yeah, And
you know, ordinarily, you know, last winter we kind of
had a drought all winter. But ordinary we get some
snow cover and and some winter moisture that can you know,
benefit the whole the whole process, and you kind of
(07:09):
get a whole winter period, a whole period where you
don't really have to baby your tree. And then you
get spring kickoff and usually get moisture in the spring,
and so you have a beginning period of the tree,
which is a rather safe scenario. You know, if you
plant the tree in July, it's possible, but you better
(07:31):
be on it, yeah, because if you turn your back.
We had we had a client saying, oh a tree
can't can't you know, have all the leaves die in
just a day of not watering. Oh yes, they can,
you know, And if you think that, you're setting yourself
up for failure. And then in that particular situation, all
(07:52):
the leaves that had dried up and he was demanding
a you know, a new tree, which we would gladly do.
But you know, water I mean is on the client,
you know. And so I waited to go look at
this tree a little time. And I went there and
here it was all budding out and it was still green,
(08:14):
and it was still it was responded. What it happened
is he threw out in the tree. It killed the leaves,
the permanent will, but it didn't kill the tree. And
so then we got subsequent rain and the trees said,
hey man, I'm going to push leaves again below and
it did and the trees getting derived and it was
(08:35):
a watering issue. And it's just something that can can
occur very quickly on a young tree.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
You definitely wanted. We talked about talk about young trees,
new trees, planting. Of course the fantastic Legacy Tree program
available at Hamsarbor. Here. It's a great day thinking about
planting a tree and thinking about some fall collars, thinking
about something that you're going to chaeri us for years
and generations to come. Talk to the folks at Hams arecare,
Kevin and the team and Hams barbacare love talk with you.
