Bruce Company, Lisa Briggs. Lisa, how you doing over there?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm good, John, how are you?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
It's doing fantastic. It's great to see you, and I
can feel it. It's coming. We are gonna be we
are gonna be there in no time.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I know it's gonna be like seventy right.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Oh, fantastic. I did see and this was a little
southy here, but I did see some little buds on
the trees. And I don't know if around here we're.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I've seen lots of buds. Yeah, like all of the
maples are blooming now. You know, if you drive by
a tree and you see like these sort of vaguely
red kind of little clusters on a big shade tree.
Those are maple flowers, which you don't think of them
as flowering, but they do things like like early things
(01:09):
like birches and willows are also brightening up and greeting up.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I see, yeah, I saw. The one I saw was
a willow tree and it had I thought, oh my goodness,
are there. We are on And I know it's always exciting.
I always say it's a great day to get out
of the Middleton gardens of the Bruce Company, but I'm going
to especially accentuate that statement this week because trucks, trucks
and more trucks.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, it's crazy. When I counted last week, there were
like six or eight. Yeah, but then over Saturday and
even yesterday there were more sort of calendar notifications for
drivers sort of firming up delivery times. So it's going
to be busy at the garden center.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And I did I see, I saw I think a
load of evergreen shrubbery greenery.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, we did get We've got a little bit of
this and that. So it's you know, but there are
whole beds that don't have anything in them yet. But
I would guess that after today that will be different.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, And if anyone would know that would be lazy. Yeah,
great data to get on in again, it's a good
data to check on back as well with the Bruce Company.
Speaking of by the way, well, we'll talk about some
upcoming events. Also by the way, phone number six oh
eight three two one thirteen ten at six oh eight
three two one thirteen ten. If you've got questions for Lisa,
(02:34):
love to have you join us this morning again the
number six oh eight three two one thirteen ten. Talk
about things like a bloom and some of the other
upcoming events. But first, speaking of following on Facebook social media,
you've also got an e blast. They're always really helpful,
but right now especially you really want to be checking
and regularly with Bruce Company, don't you.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, it's Earth Week, so happy Earth Week everybody. Earth
Day is tomorrow and Arbor Day is Friday, and we
always do kind of a kickoff on Earth Weeks. So
we're going to be giving away sunflower seeds to all
the kiddos that come in. We've got some daily flash
flash sales. You can go to our website and see
(03:15):
what the daily sales are, or if you follow us
on Facebook, you're going to get a notification every evening
or if you want to join our eblast list and
you get that sort of every other week newsletter with
blogs about what you should be doing in your guard
and any specials and all that kind of thing, so Kabloom.
(03:38):
Then it culminates with Kabloom, which is Saturday from eleven
to two, and so we've got some vendors that are
going to come in and do product demos. We're going
to be doing some grilling, some hot dogs that the
proceeds will all benefit Fetch Wisconsin Rescue, who is our
charitable partner for this year, And there's just going to
(04:00):
be all kinds of fun stuff happening.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It's uh you mentioned, of course Kabloom coming up. That's
the twenty sixth starts. It really kind of kicks off
the season of greatness at the Bruce Company always, so
definitely want to check that out again. You can learn
more online the website Bruce coompany dot com that's Bruce
Company dot com, Facebook and social media the Bruce Company.
If you haven't subscribed to the e blast, is it
once a week or every other week?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I every other week you get two, so it's once
a week, but it only it's it's sent out every
other week, sorry, every other Thursday it comes out.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I'm a subscriber, are you. Oh, I've been one for
a very very nice that's nice.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Is it's a nice subscribe to it too. They need
to make sure it gets through.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yes, no, it is. And for folks that haven't signed
up yet, it is a really nice kind of just
kind of keeps you in touch. Much like this radio
show that we do. It's kind of what's going on
this week and kind of what to expect in some
other cool y special.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, what to do in your garden. If there's you know,
something that we're hearing about as far as is a
you know some a past or something, we can share
that with you. What's new in the store? Yeah, the
pat of the Week from Fetch is always in there too, so.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And that's a nice way to brighten your day as well.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, Doggo of the Week.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I got any conscribe for that of course, all the
information up at Bruce Company dot com. That's Bruce Coompany
dot com. Great day to get on in right at
the Middleton Gardens and the Bruce Company twenty thirty Partment Street.
That's twenty at thirty Partment Street, so we can have
a great day to get in. It's great day to
get on the phone. Six eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six soh eight three two one thirteen ten. I
know a lot of folks are kind of making that conversion.
(05:37):
I know last week I did stuff out of the
summer stuff out of the shed into the garage. Winter
stuff out of the garage into the back part of
the shed, getting things all prepared. And I know for
a lot of folks also starting to bring out patio
furniture and maybe they're going, you know what, it's a
good time to be maybe looking at.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
A little update y refurbishment.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I know who can help.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, we did have our great furniture extravagance about a
month month ago. But right now Pollywood, Pollywood's made, I
believe in Indiana, it's usually a two to three week
turnover time. They're having a special on select collections, so
(06:16):
it's not everything that they have, but you can certainly
come in and our furniture associates will help you out,
show you what things are on, which collections are on special.
And the nice thing about Pollywood is it's made out
of recycled plastic like milk jugs, and it's solid all
the way through, so it's not like a plastic coating
(06:38):
with sort of wood chip fillers inside. It's solid material,
guaranteed for ten years against fading of color if you
get a colored colored furniture or mildew and staining. So
it's really great product made in the States, made out
of recycled materials and fast shipping.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's a win when win.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Win win win.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Apple winds. Yes several and that special running through the
twenty eighth of April, so definitely want to get on
into the Middleton Garden Center of the Bruce Company. So
we have stuff going on to the Milton Garden Center
of the Bruce Company. Lisa, as we mentioned, a lot
of stuff coming in in this as type of year
where a lot of questions start to come in. And
I know you had recently posted on your Facebook page
folks that were concerned about maybe some of their foliage browning.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And yeah, on evergreens we've been here. I think it's
because the winter was not especially mild or especially cold,
but we had no snow cover and we had a
very dry autumn and so there were not there's not
a lot of moisture in the soil. And since evergreens
don't go completely dormant when the temperature rises and falls,
(07:47):
they start to sort of brown out at the tips.
So there are two things that would be winter damage.
So if it's on the outside of the plant and
you're seeing browning needles or like browning leaves on your rhododendron,
the watch word is patients. Okay, a lot of times
the buds would not be affected, so you might lose
(08:07):
some foliage, but then the new buds will pop, So
you're gonna want to be just patient and wait. If
the browning needles are on the inside of the plant,
that's typical. That's just fall needle cast and that happens
on a cyclical basis. Some things like white pine shed
every year, and other trees it's less often than that.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
So when you mentioned patients, that kind of giggled because
it feels like a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I know, nobody's patient the same of the year, I know, right.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So hard, so hard. Oh, great advice, and speaking of
that information, Also, don't forget we mentioned earlier about subscribing
to the e blast. Also make sure you're following the
Bruce Company on Facebook and social media. They put out
some great videos. Lisa's got quite a few that go
up every couple of weeks. Every week you put a
couple up there asn't matter. I was gonna say every
couple of weeks, a couple up a week. Of course,
(08:56):
Fallow the Bruce Company online again, then social media on Facebook,
the Bruce Company. I You've got a question if you
have joined us this morning six oh eight three two
one thirteen ten. That's six h eight three two one
thirteen ten, and Tom joins us. Tom, welcome to the program.
You're on the air. Release of Briggs from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Great, thank you. I got a question. I have a
couple of wilc bushes that are pushing one hundred years
old and they're starting to show their age, and I
wonder if anything to help them go along a little
bit longer. And the other question is one's a good
time to plan a new lilight bush.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, you can plant a new lilac bush as soon
as you can find one, and we do have a
few at the garden center, but we're not fully stocked yet.
And you can get your shovel in the ground and
the soil isn't stopping wet. So we given the sort
of dryish winter that we had, uh soils ready now.
And as long as what you're buying to plant is
(09:48):
more on the dormant side, you don't really have to
worry about anything. Just put it in the ground, malt
it and water it, and you're good to go. As
far as you know, if you want to rejuvenate your
older lilacs, how tall.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Are they, tom, Oh, they're pretty tall. They're probably over
twelve thirteen feet.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And do they still flower up at the top, yeah, Okay,
if you want to rejuvenate them, what you can start
doing is every year take out a few of the
older branches, ok, and then that will oftentimes it will
trigger new growth coming up from the roots.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Sometimes you'll see people will cut lilacs back, great big
ones down to like three feet and they will come
back eventually from that, but it just takes a long
time where they're looking sort of goofy. So if you
take a more measured approach and sort of take out
a little bit of the older growth every year, by
the time you get to the place where you're removing
(10:50):
the last of the over old growth, you have new
growth coming on to take its place.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Great, Well, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You're welcome, Tom, great question this morning. You two can
be like Tom. If you've got a question for Lee,
still love to have to join us. Six eight three
two one thirteen ten. That's six soh eight three two
one thirteen ten. What do you know? Probably I'm putting
you on the spot here what the lifespan is for
a lot? I mean, I've got to guess. For Tom's
one hundred years old, that's probably.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They're pretty long live plants. There's they're they're very adaptable
as long as they're getting a lot of sun, because
they are a plant that likes a great deal of sun.
But you know, you see them growing in churchyards or
along roadsides, so they're they're pretty self sustaining. They don't
(11:34):
like a lot of fertilizer. They sort of respond to
that by doing a lot of green growth and not
setting flower buds. And the thing to remember is that
lilac's bloom on old growth. So if you do have
a lilac and you do want to like do some
major pruning on it, wait until after it flowers, okay,
because you're going to cut off all the flowers.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Do I remember, right? There's two major types. Obviously there's
a bunch of different kind of sub types of Are
there two main types that am I off on it?
Speaker 5 (12:04):
You know?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I think what most people think of. They think of
the big common lilacs that's also called French lilacs. They
have those big flower clusters and a lot of times
really excellent fragrance. And then there are the smaller ones
like the miss Kims and the dwarf Koreans that a
lot of people have in their you know, more yard
(12:25):
signed size, denser. They flower a little bit later than
the common lilacs, but you could have lilacs blooming probably
from late April all the way to sort of midsummer,
because that of all the species and crosses, there's like
(12:47):
a lot of variation in bloom time.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Okay, I don't know what type we have at home, Christina,
but when she planted it, one of the things she
thought of was because of she loves who doesn't love
the small We've got this this addition on the back
of our house if we open up the windows in
the air traps, right, and so she planted it very
near yeah, opting it, says like, oh my gosh, what
(13:09):
a beautiful, beautiful smell for that and with uh, with
lilacs as well, mentioned Tom call, they live a very
very long time and uh, and they're they're pretty as
you pointed out Lisa there, they're pretty like they hold
up pretty well.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, they're they're not they're not really demanding plants as
far as you know, like a certain kind of culture
or a certain kind of area. As long as they
have a ton of sun and good airflow and you
don't fertilize around them with anything that's high in nitrogen.
They're really great plants.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
If they could smile, they'd smile at you every time. Yes,
every time you're out there. You've got a question for Lisa.

People love getting their picture taken with Violet.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
She's cute.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Is she ont display right now? Or she is?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
She is right now. She's by the Purple Cow product
up in the front parking lot. She will be moved
on Saturday because the Purple Cow folks are coming in
and I don't like having them in the parking lot.
That's not very nice.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
She will be what will she?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
She will be? She will be relocated to be with
her people. Last year, she was there for a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, it's I think I forgot she was. She was
at the store. We don't know what you're talking about.
Purple Cow. Yeah. Again, as we talked about a couple
of kicking off the event kickoff event Springs Kickoff event
that's taking place on the twenty sixth, All details up
at Bruce company dot com. That's Bruce Coompany dot com.
(16:04):
I'd asked you a couple of maybe a month ago
about raspberries and moving raspberries around. Are we there? I
have a note somewhere and I feel like we're getting
pretty close to It's okay to if you got to, oh.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You want to relocate some you could do that now.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Crazy they are just you can do that now, okay
and start start just kind of moving them around and
give them a new home. And okay, what can we
be planting inside and what can we start eyeballing for
the outside?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Let's see. I'm you know, if you if you wanted
to start your own tomatoes, get those going now or
if you haven't already, you know, early to mid April
is when we do that. We will have we've started
to get some veg in. We do have a few
tomato varieties in and some peppers. Most of that'll be
(16:51):
in the next couple of weeks that'll start really loading in.
Uh outside the what it looks really good. So I
always want to, you know, just say that looking at
this forecast, I'm thinking we're good to start plant to
(17:11):
start planting a lot of things outside. So certainly peas, lettuce, spinach, potatoes,
all that kind of stuff you can you can plant out.
But that they're the caveat is that if after this forecast,
which is through Sunday, if it drops again, you're going
to have to be prepared to do some protection, So
(17:32):
just have that in mind. If you've got you know,
if you've got some plastic pots or you know, pots
from trees and shrubs that you planted last year in
the shadow of the back of your garage, go ahead
and get those. Stop in and get a floating row
cover if you don't have that yet. All of those
things can be used to put over the top of
(17:56):
young seedlings and unfurling foliage to help protect them if
we get a frost, which we still.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Might with that too. That with that having that plan
in place, you mentioned floating roll covers versatile as well.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It's yeah, yeah, this is not something that you're just
going to use at this time of year. You can
use it now to keep the frost off of new
plants in the summer. You can use it to protect
beans and raspberry patches from Japanese beetle damage. You can
use it in the fall as you're trying to extend
(18:31):
the season into the fall. So yeah, they have a
lot of uses and they're pretty inexpensive. It's very thin fabric,
very lightweight, so it folds up into like a really
small space, and so it's just something to keep with
your garden tools.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's something that every gardener should have several of them.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, they come in a couple of different sizes. You
can if you need to, you can cut it to
sort of fit into smaller spaces. And the good thing
about it is if we're doing getting a frost and
you put sheets or something like that over your plants,
they kind of hold down on your plants and sometimes
you'll get a little contact damage. But then you have
(19:12):
to make sure that you get those off right away
because as they get wet from frost, they start to
weight down your plants, where the row covers don't do that.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
They just sort of float made perfectly. Yeah, the signs.
If you've got a question for Lisa love to have
you joints. It's one and six oh eight three two
one thirteen ten. That's six oh eight three two one
thirteen ten. And Sean joins us on the Lilac Line. Sean,
welcome to program here on the air with Lisa Breaks
from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Yeah, good morning. I've got a couple of lilacs that
are I don't know, five years old, so they're very old.
But I got a fair amount of suckers coming up.
I'd like to take the suckers and transplants them. What's
what's the best way to do that?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Are these like shrub form lilacs or is this Are
these suckers coming from like a tree lilac.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
That's going to be more of a tree locked lilac.
It's a variegated leaf colored lilac.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Okay, So those suckers are probably coming from the rootstock.
Most of the tree forms are a shrub grafted onto
the trunk stock, which is probably the rootstock. So I'm
not sure what's coming up, and you won't be until
(20:23):
you grow it. It's probably something.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Those are usually bread or chosen for sturdiness, for hardiness,
to regulate growth rates and all that kind of things.
So if you want to move them around and give
it a try, just be really careful, especially if they're
super close to the trunk. A lot of times they
might just be suckers coming from the trunk itself, and
(20:49):
then if that's the case, all you can do is
cut those off. There's no way to root those really
without sort of like a rooting hormone kind of thing.
If they're back away and they're actually coming from the roots.
Then if you have a sharp shovel, you can sort
of just cut them off with a little bit of
roots and then move them and plant them in a
sunny spot with good drainage and see what happens, well about.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Three feet out from the trunk.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Oh yeah, then that those are safe to take out.
Just make sure that you get your shovel sharpened because
you want to be able to you know, cut through
those roots pretty easily.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Okay, all right. I have a comment regarding floating roll cover. Sure,
so I use them for my raspberries to keep the
beetles off.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
And I use clothes pins, right so the window don't blow.
The floating will cover off. I just play it down
around and close pin it to the stalks of the berries.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, or binder clips some people use, like rocks or bricks.
Japanese beetles do not crawl up, They just sort of land,
and so row covers are a really easy way to
keep them off of all of your.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Edibles, right, keep the wasp off the grapes pretty much too, sure,
of course, I do it pretty tight.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
The beatles aren't good flyer, They're not good in flight.
I've seen them.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
They're good flyers. They can fly, yeah, yeah, but they
just they don't land on the ground and then crawl
up a plant. Yeah, that's just not their behavior. They
want to land on something.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
They don't like to walk, that's what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I'm pretty sure. Yes, there you go.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
They do not like to walk, Sean, great question, Great call.
Let's go now to Sue. Sue, welcome to the program.
You're on the air release of brigs from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Good morning, Good morning, Hi. I have a couple of
magnolia trees and I heard you talk about them a
few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
And finally my large one that must be I don't know,
thirty feet high, but Paul, and it has bloomed. It's
the white I've had it for a long time. And
then I had bought another one and it was smaller
(23:12):
and I put that down near that the white one,
but it took. It wasn't sync with the white one
really when it would bloom, and we do later.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
They do have different bloom times, so yeah, that's not surprising.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
They don't all go okay, all right, Well, then then
last fall I started noticing that the branches on both
trees in some areas were were like blackened in almost
like they've been burned. And is it a mold or something.
(23:53):
I couldn't get any tree person to tell me what's
going on back then, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Well, and okay, magnolia scale is is an issue right now.
So it has been for the last few years. So
if you can remember where those branches were that had
the die back last year, kind of look and see
if you can see like little raised bumps on the
twigs that look almost like like tiny little oyster shells
(24:25):
that are sort of stacked along the branches, that's magnolia scale.
And it's a pretty serious insect disease.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
I didn't notice that so much, okay, and it did.
They both you know, set buds okay, after you know,
flowering things, but but the small one, the buzz I
think it's dead. The whole thing. Okay, it hasn't bloomed
at all yet, right, bloods going to dry the oil, but.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Well it does it. Yeah. The the thing is that
the dormant oil you have to put on when the
plant is dormant, so once it's floured, it's what it's
doing is it's smothering any eggs that are laid in
the buds, and now that the buds are breaking, it's
it's not going to be as effective, So I don't
(25:18):
help one. Yeah, So what I would do for your
small one? Maybe it maybe it is a variety that
blooms later. Check your twigs. If the twigs are flexible,
and you flick off a little bit of green, a
little bit of barkain and screen underneath it. Just hold
off water it for sure it's been really dry, and
watch for that same problem that you had last year,
(25:41):
and bring us a sample to the plant desk, or
bring some foat, send us some photos so we can
take a look at what's going on.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Okay, and then then anything I can look a little
bit closer on the large one where it didn't blossom
or whatever, would I remove those branches.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Then take some pictures and send them to the plant
desk so we can see what it is and see
how bad it is and whether or not you should
remove it. There's also another time when you can spray.
I believe it's the end of August into early September,
so you have a second chance to sort of spray
for it.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Oh, I've never had to worry about them all these years.
The other question, I have a high hydrangea plant that
I've had for a long long time too, and and
and it's finally you know, blossoms and everything where it
sits on its own. And I'm not so sure. I
(26:42):
know they come a little bit later, don't they.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, hydra just won't be doing much yet.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Okay, not even from the base, right, Nope, I won't
see anything. It's okay, I'm a little early because well
I started noticing it's fall, and you know, because we've
had some long long summer, so to speak. But that
the dealer, we're company closer. And first of all, they
(27:13):
started eating on the north side, you know, furthest from
the house. And then you know, finally they ain't at all,
you know, kind of all the succulent part, right, And
I wasn't sure whether it was going to come back.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
If it's been around for if it's if it's well established,
it might come back from the roots. So just be
a little patient.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Okay, thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Great question. It's a great call this morning. You have
a fantastic day. That a lot, there's a lot going

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I know it's gonna be like seventy right.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Oh, fantastic. I did see and this was a little
southy here, but I did see some little buds on
the trees. And I don't know if around here we're.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I've seen lots of buds. Yeah, like all of the
maples are blooming now. You know, if you drive by
a tree and you see like these sort of vaguely
red kind of little clusters on a big shade tree.
Those are maple flowers, which you don't think of them
as flowering, but they do things like like early things
(01:09):
like birches and willows are also brightening up and greeting up.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I see, yeah, I saw. The one I saw was
a willow tree and it had I thought, oh my goodness,
are there. We are on And I know it's always exciting.
I always say it's a great day to get out
of the Middleton gardens of the Bruce Company, but I'm going
to especially accentuate that statement this week because trucks, trucks
and more trucks.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, it's crazy. When I counted last week, there were
like six or eight. Yeah, but then over Saturday and
even yesterday there were more sort of calendar notifications for
drivers sort of firming up delivery times. So it's going
to be busy at the garden center.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And I did I see, I saw I think a
load of evergreen shrubbery greenery.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, we did get We've got a little bit of
this and that. So it's you know, but there are
whole beds that don't have anything in them yet. But
I would guess that after today that will be different.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, And if anyone would know that would be lazy. Yeah,
great data to get on in again, it's a good
data to check on back as well with the Bruce Company.
Speaking of by the way, well, we'll talk about some
upcoming events. Also by the way, phone number six oh
eight three two one thirteen ten at six oh eight
three two one thirteen ten. If you've got questions for Lisa,
(02:34):
love to have you join us this morning again the
number six oh eight three two one thirteen ten. Talk
about things like a bloom and some of the other
upcoming events. But first, speaking of following on Facebook social media,
you've also got an e blast. They're always really helpful,
but right now especially you really want to be checking

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, it's Earth Week, so happy Earth Week everybody. Earth

always do kind of a kickoff on Earth Weeks. So
we're going to be giving away sunflower seeds to all

(03:38):
Then it culminates with Kabloom, which is Saturday from eleven
to two, and so we've got some vendors that are
going to come in and do product demos. We're going
to be doing some grilling, some hot dogs that the
proceeds will all benefit Fetch Wisconsin Rescue, who is our
charitable partner for this year, And there's just going to
(04:00):
be all kinds of fun stuff happening.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It's uh you mentioned, of course Kabloom coming up. That's
the twenty sixth starts. It really kind of kicks off
the season of greatness at the Bruce Company always, so
definitely want to check that out again. You can learn
more online the website Bruce coompany dot com that's Bruce
Company dot com, Facebook and social media the Bruce Company.
If you haven't subscribed to the e blast, is it
once a week or every other week?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I every other week you get two, so it's once
a week, but it only it's it's sent out every
other week, sorry, every other Thursday it comes out.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I'm a subscriber, are you. Oh, I've been one for
a very very nice that's nice.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Is it's a nice subscribe to it too. They need
to make sure it gets through.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yes, no, it is. And for folks that haven't signed
up yet, it is a really nice kind of just
kind of keeps you in touch. Much like this radio
show that we do. It's kind of what's going on
this week and kind of what to expect in some
other cool y special.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, what to do in your garden. If there's you know,
something that we're hearing about as far as is a
you know some a past or something, we can share
that with you. What's new in the store? Yeah, the
pat of the Week from Fetch is always in there too, so.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And that's a nice way to brighten your day as well.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, Doggo of the Week.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I got any conscribe for that of course, all the
information up at Bruce Company dot com. That's Bruce Coompany
dot com. Great day to get on in right at
the Middleton Gardens and the Bruce Company twenty thirty Partment Street.
That's twenty at thirty Partment Street, so we can have
a great day to get in. It's great day to
get on the phone. Six eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six soh eight three two one thirteen ten. I
know a lot of folks are kind of making that conversion.
(05:37):
I know last week I did stuff out of the
summer stuff out of the shed into the garage. Winter
stuff out of the garage into the back part of
the shed, getting things all prepared. And I know for
a lot of folks also starting to bring out patio
furniture and maybe they're going, you know what, it's a
good time to be maybe looking at.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
A little update y refurbishment.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I know who can help.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, we did have our great furniture extravagance about a
month month ago. But right now Pollywood, Pollywood's made, I
believe in Indiana, it's usually a two to three week
turnover time. They're having a special on select collections, so
(06:16):
it's not everything that they have, but you can certainly
come in and our furniture associates will help you out,
show you what things are on, which collections are on special.
And the nice thing about Pollywood is it's made out
of recycled plastic like milk jugs, and it's solid all
the way through, so it's not like a plastic coating
(06:38):
with sort of wood chip fillers inside. It's solid material,
guaranteed for ten years against fading of color if you
get a colored colored furniture or mildew and staining. So
it's really great product made in the States, made out
of recycled materials and fast shipping.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's a win when win.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Win win win.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Apple winds. Yes several and that special running through the
twenty eighth of April, so definitely want to get on
into the Middleton Garden Center of the Bruce Company. So
we have stuff going on to the Milton Garden Center
of the Bruce Company. Lisa, as we mentioned, a lot
of stuff coming in in this as type of year
where a lot of questions start to come in. And
I know you had recently posted on your Facebook page
folks that were concerned about maybe some of their foliage browning.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And yeah, on evergreens we've been here. I think it's
because the winter was not especially mild or especially cold,
but we had no snow cover and we had a
very dry autumn and so there were not there's not
a lot of moisture in the soil. And since evergreens
don't go completely dormant when the temperature rises and falls,
(07:47):
they start to sort of brown out at the tips.
So there are two things that would be winter damage.
So if it's on the outside of the plant and
you're seeing browning needles or like browning leaves on your rhododendron,
the watch word is patients. Okay, a lot of times
the buds would not be affected, so you might lose
(08:07):
some foliage, but then the new buds will pop, So
you're gonna want to be just patient and wait. If
the browning needles are on the inside of the plant,
that's typical. That's just fall needle cast and that happens
on a cyclical basis. Some things like white pine shed
every year, and other trees it's less often than that.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
So when you mentioned patients, that kind of giggled because
it feels like a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I know, nobody's patient the same of the year, I know, right.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So hard, so hard. Oh, great advice, and speaking of
that information, Also, don't forget we mentioned earlier about subscribing
to the e blast. Also make sure you're following the
Bruce Company on Facebook and social media. They put out
some great videos. Lisa's got quite a few that go
up every couple of weeks. Every week you put a
couple up there asn't matter. I was gonna say every
couple of weeks, a couple up a week. Of course,
(08:56):
Fallow the Bruce Company online again, then social media on Facebook,
the Bruce Company. I You've got a question if you
have joined us this morning six oh eight three two
one thirteen ten. That's six h eight three two one
thirteen ten, and Tom joins us. Tom, welcome to the program.
You're on the air. Release of Briggs from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Great, thank you. I got a question. I have a
couple of wilc bushes that are pushing one hundred years
old and they're starting to show their age, and I
wonder if anything to help them go along a little
bit longer. And the other question is one's a good
time to plan a new lilight bush.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, you can plant a new lilac bush as soon
as you can find one, and we do have a
few at the garden center, but we're not fully stocked yet.
And you can get your shovel in the ground and
the soil isn't stopping wet. So we given the sort
of dryish winter that we had, uh soils ready now.
And as long as what you're buying to plant is
(09:48):
more on the dormant side, you don't really have to
worry about anything. Just put it in the ground, malt
it and water it, and you're good to go. As
far as you know, if you want to rejuvenate your
older lilacs, how tall.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Are they, tom, Oh, they're pretty tall. They're probably over
twelve thirteen feet.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And do they still flower up at the top, yeah, Okay,
if you want to rejuvenate them, what you can start
doing is every year take out a few of the
older branches, ok, and then that will oftentimes it will
trigger new growth coming up from the roots.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Sometimes you'll see people will cut lilacs back, great big
ones down to like three feet and they will come
back eventually from that, but it just takes a long
time where they're looking sort of goofy. So if you
take a more measured approach and sort of take out
a little bit of the older growth every year, by
the time you get to the place where you're removing
(10:50):
the last of the over old growth, you have new
growth coming on to take its place.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Great, Well, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You're welcome, Tom, great question this morning. You two can
be like Tom. If you've got a question for Lee,
still love to have to join us. Six eight three
two one thirteen ten. That's six soh eight three two
one thirteen ten. What do you know? Probably I'm putting
you on the spot here what the lifespan is for
a lot? I mean, I've got to guess. For Tom's
one hundred years old, that's probably.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They're pretty long live plants. There's they're they're very adaptable
as long as they're getting a lot of sun, because
they are a plant that likes a great deal of sun.
But you know, you see them growing in churchyards or
along roadsides, so they're they're pretty self sustaining. They don't
(11:34):
like a lot of fertilizer. They sort of respond to
that by doing a lot of green growth and not
setting flower buds. And the thing to remember is that
lilac's bloom on old growth. So if you do have
a lilac and you do want to like do some
major pruning on it, wait until after it flowers, okay,
because you're going to cut off all the flowers.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Do I remember, right? There's two major types. Obviously there's
a bunch of different kind of sub types of Are
there two main types that am I off on it?
Speaker 5 (12:04):
You know?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I think what most people think of. They think of
the big common lilacs that's also called French lilacs. They
have those big flower clusters and a lot of times
really excellent fragrance. And then there are the smaller ones
like the miss Kims and the dwarf Koreans that a
lot of people have in their you know, more yard
(12:25):
signed size, denser. They flower a little bit later than
the common lilacs, but you could have lilacs blooming probably
from late April all the way to sort of midsummer,
because that of all the species and crosses, there's like
(12:47):
a lot of variation in bloom time.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Okay, I don't know what type we have at home, Christina,
but when she planted it, one of the things she
thought of was because of she loves who doesn't love
the small We've got this this addition on the back
of our house if we open up the windows in
the air traps, right, and so she planted it very
near yeah, opting it, says like, oh my gosh, what
(13:09):
a beautiful, beautiful smell for that and with uh, with
lilacs as well, mentioned Tom call, they live a very
very long time and uh, and they're they're pretty as
you pointed out Lisa there, they're pretty like they hold
up pretty well.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, they're they're not they're not really demanding plants as
far as you know, like a certain kind of culture
or a certain kind of area. As long as they
have a ton of sun and good airflow and you
don't fertilize around them with anything that's high in nitrogen.
They're really great plants.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
If they could smile, they'd smile at you every time. Yes,
every time you're out there. You've got a question for Lisa.

Speaker 2 (15:13):

Speaker 1 (15:13):
People love getting their picture taken with Violet.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
She's cute.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Is she ont display right now? Or she is?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
She is right now. She's by the Purple Cow product
up in the front parking lot. She will be moved
on Saturday because the Purple Cow folks are coming in
and I don't like having them in the parking lot.
That's not very nice.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
She will be what will she?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
She will be? She will be relocated to be with
her people. Last year, she was there for a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, it's I think I forgot she was. She was
at the store. We don't know what you're talking about.
Purple Cow. Yeah. Again, as we talked about a couple
of kicking off the event kickoff event Springs Kickoff event
that's taking place on the twenty sixth, All details up
at Bruce company dot com. That's Bruce Coompany dot com.
(16:04):
I'd asked you a couple of maybe a month ago
about raspberries and moving raspberries around. Are we there? I
have a note somewhere and I feel like we're getting
pretty close to It's okay to if you got to, oh.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You want to relocate some you could do that now.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Crazy they are just you can do that now, okay
and start start just kind of moving them around and
give them a new home. And okay, what can we
be planting inside and what can we start eyeballing for
the outside?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Let's see. I'm you know, if you if you wanted
to start your own tomatoes, get those going now or
if you haven't already, you know, early to mid April
is when we do that. We will have we've started
to get some veg in. We do have a few
tomato varieties in and some peppers. Most of that'll be
(16:51):
in the next couple of weeks that'll start really loading in.
Uh outside the what it looks really good. So I
always want to, you know, just say that looking at
this forecast, I'm thinking we're good to start plant to
(17:11):
start planting a lot of things outside. So certainly peas, lettuce, spinach, potatoes,
all that kind of stuff you can you can plant out.
But that they're the caveat is that if after this forecast,
which is through Sunday, if it drops again, you're going
to have to be prepared to do some protection, So
(17:32):
just have that in mind. If you've got you know,
if you've got some plastic pots or you know, pots
from trees and shrubs that you planted last year in
the shadow of the back of your garage, go ahead
and get those. Stop in and get a floating row
cover if you don't have that yet. All of those
things can be used to put over the top of
(17:56):
young seedlings and unfurling foliage to help protect them if
we get a frost, which we still.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Might with that too. That with that having that plan
in place, you mentioned floating roll covers versatile as well.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It's yeah, yeah, this is not something that you're just
going to use at this time of year. You can
use it now to keep the frost off of new
plants in the summer. You can use it to protect
beans and raspberry patches from Japanese beetle damage. You can
use it in the fall as you're trying to extend
(18:31):
the season into the fall. So yeah, they have a
lot of uses and they're pretty inexpensive. It's very thin fabric,
very lightweight, so it folds up into like a really
small space, and so it's just something to keep with
your garden tools.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
It's something that every gardener should have several of them.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, they come in a couple of different sizes. You
can if you need to, you can cut it to
sort of fit into smaller spaces. And the good thing
about it is if we're doing getting a frost and
you put sheets or something like that over your plants,
they kind of hold down on your plants and sometimes
you'll get a little contact damage. But then you have
(19:12):
to make sure that you get those off right away
because as they get wet from frost, they start to
weight down your plants, where the row covers don't do that.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
They just sort of float made perfectly. Yeah, the signs.
If you've got a question for Lisa love to have
you joints. It's one and six oh eight three two
one thirteen ten. That's six oh eight three two one
thirteen ten. And Sean joins us on the Lilac Line. Sean,
welcome to program here on the air with Lisa Breaks
from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Yeah, good morning. I've got a couple of lilacs that
are I don't know, five years old, so they're very old.
But I got a fair amount of suckers coming up.
I'd like to take the suckers and transplants them. What's
what's the best way to do that?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Are these like shrub form lilacs or is this Are
these suckers coming from like a tree lilac.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
That's going to be more of a tree locked lilac.
It's a variegated leaf colored lilac.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Okay, So those suckers are probably coming from the rootstock.
Most of the tree forms are a shrub grafted onto
the trunk stock, which is probably the rootstock. So I'm
not sure what's coming up, and you won't be until
(20:23):
you grow it. It's probably something.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Those are usually bread or chosen for sturdiness, for hardiness,
to regulate growth rates and all that kind of things.
So if you want to move them around and give
it a try, just be really careful, especially if they're
super close to the trunk. A lot of times they
might just be suckers coming from the trunk itself, and
(20:49):
then if that's the case, all you can do is
cut those off. There's no way to root those really
without sort of like a rooting hormone kind of thing.
If they're back away and they're actually coming from the roots.
Then if you have a sharp shovel, you can sort
of just cut them off with a little bit of
roots and then move them and plant them in a
sunny spot with good drainage and see what happens, well about.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Three feet out from the trunk.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Oh yeah, then that those are safe to take out.
Just make sure that you get your shovel sharpened because
you want to be able to you know, cut through
those roots pretty easily.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Okay, all right. I have a comment regarding floating roll cover. Sure,
so I use them for my raspberries to keep the
beetles off.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
And I use clothes pins, right so the window don't blow.
The floating will cover off. I just play it down
around and close pin it to the stalks of the berries.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, or binder clips some people use, like rocks or bricks.
Japanese beetles do not crawl up, They just sort of land,
and so row covers are a really easy way to
keep them off of all of your.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Edibles, right, keep the wasp off the grapes pretty much too, sure,
of course, I do it pretty tight.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
The beatles aren't good flyer, They're not good in flight.
I've seen them.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
They're good flyers. They can fly, yeah, yeah, but they
just they don't land on the ground and then crawl
up a plant. Yeah, that's just not their behavior. They
want to land on something.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
They don't like to walk, that's what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I'm pretty sure. Yes, there you go.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
They do not like to walk, Sean, great question, Great call.
Let's go now to Sue. Sue, welcome to the program.
You're on the air release of brigs from the Bruce Company.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Good morning, Good morning, Hi. I have a couple of
magnolia trees and I heard you talk about them a
few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
And finally my large one that must be I don't know,
thirty feet high, but Paul, and it has bloomed. It's
the white I've had it for a long time. And
then I had bought another one and it was smaller
(23:12):
and I put that down near that the white one,
but it took. It wasn't sync with the white one
really when it would bloom, and we do later.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
They do have different bloom times, so yeah, that's not surprising.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
They don't all go okay, all right, Well, then then
last fall I started noticing that the branches on both
trees in some areas were were like blackened in almost
like they've been burned. And is it a mold or something.
(23:53):
I couldn't get any tree person to tell me what's
going on back then, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Well, and okay, magnolia scale is is an issue right now.
So it has been for the last few years. So
if you can remember where those branches were that had
the die back last year, kind of look and see
if you can see like little raised bumps on the
twigs that look almost like like tiny little oyster shells
(24:25):
that are sort of stacked along the branches, that's magnolia scale.
And it's a pretty serious insect disease.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
I didn't notice that so much, okay, and it did.
They both you know, set buds okay, after you know,
flowering things, but but the small one, the buzz I
think it's dead. The whole thing. Okay, it hasn't bloomed
at all yet, right, bloods going to dry the oil, but.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Well it does it. Yeah. The the thing is that
the dormant oil you have to put on when the
plant is dormant, so once it's floured, it's what it's
doing is it's smothering any eggs that are laid in
the buds, and now that the buds are breaking, it's
it's not going to be as effective, So I don't
(25:18):
help one. Yeah, So what I would do for your
small one? Maybe it maybe it is a variety that
blooms later. Check your twigs. If the twigs are flexible,
and you flick off a little bit of green, a
little bit of barkain and screen underneath it. Just hold
off water it for sure it's been really dry, and
watch for that same problem that you had last year,
(25:41):
and bring us a sample to the plant desk, or
bring some foat, send us some photos so we can
take a look at what's going on.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Okay, and then then anything I can look a little
bit closer on the large one where it didn't blossom
or whatever, would I remove those branches.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Then take some pictures and send them to the plant
desk so we can see what it is and see
how bad it is and whether or not you should
remove it. There's also another time when you can spray.
I believe it's the end of August into early September,
so you have a second chance to sort of spray
for it.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Oh, I've never had to worry about them all these years.
The other question, I have a high hydrangea plant that
I've had for a long long time too, and and
and it's finally you know, blossoms and everything where it
sits on its own. And I'm not so sure. I
(26:42):
know they come a little bit later, don't they.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, hydra just won't be doing much yet.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Okay, not even from the base, right, Nope, I won't
see anything. It's okay, I'm a little early because well
I started noticing it's fall, and you know, because we've
had some long long summer, so to speak. But that
the dealer, we're company closer. And first of all, they
(27:13):
started eating on the north side, you know, furthest from
the house. And then you know, finally they ain't at all,
you know, kind of all the succulent part, right, And
I wasn't sure whether it was going to come back.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
If it's been around for if it's if it's well established,
it might come back from the roots. So just be
a little patient.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Okay, thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Great question. It's a great call this morning. You have
a fantastic day. That a lot, there's a lot going
on right now.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
