Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning and welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program
right here on K one. Hey, I'm fourteen hundred, FM
ninety three point three and FMT ninety five point one.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Green Country Gardner Program with our expert.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Larry Glass, is brought to you by Green Clumb Nursery
and Greenhouses United, Reynolds, Kelly Banks Tree Service, Roman's Outdoor Power, Accent,
Pest Control, Ascension, Saint John, Jane Phillips, and.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Gateway First Back.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Good morning, Good morning, and welcome, Welcome alome time with
the Green Country Gardener of your program.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
He's Larry Glass. He is our guru. He knows things.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
He went to the College of Knowledge in Georgia. I'm
Tom Davis. I just went high issue.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
So you got that.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
How about the dollars beating up eating the wreck?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
How about that beating the rambling wreck Georgia dewed nine one, eight, three, three, six,
fourteen hundred and we got a lot going on, trees
and things in points set. He is why Dolly kids
the season? How you doing, Larry young man?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
You? Oh yeah, tell me about it anyway in the
garden right now? Good idea to maybe moltch some things.
Always a good idea to bulch. It's going to get cold,
it's going to get very cool. The malt really doesn't
do a lot to actually increase the slow temperature. If anything,
it creates more of a flywheel effect. You know, it

(01:20):
doesn't get cold so quickly it moderates it. It's like this,
a good good sine wave rather than a spike, a
spike in the dippereness back in the dip so the
plants can adjust to it a lot better. If you
have some molt the ground too, So give us a
shout at the nursery. We'll bring some out and drop
it on you either either dump the boat mult on

(01:41):
the driveway or pilot the bag somewhere. And so that's
kind of cool anyway. Good idea to melts right now.
Good also helps keep our weeds under control of the
spring coming weeds in the control as well, and it
retains some moisture better, et cetera, et cetera. So it
makes it look nice too. You got to maintain that
property is your biggest, most important asset. It is. It

(02:03):
is your property, and you gotta make it look nice.
By the way, Kevin took out his eighteen cylinder.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Hedge clippers, and he started on Thanksgiving Day, and I
think he finished up late yesterday because once he got started,
he really didn't want to finish.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
It started getting dark out, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
He didn't want to start hacking things he didn't need
to be hacking, you know, like fingers and stuff. So
he went he went to town on it on Thanksgiving Day.
He came into work for a little bit yesterday, went
back from took care of the rest of the problem.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I was in western Oklahoma and I could see the
smoke clouds the diesel coming from here. Anyway. Also time
to plant some new trees. We have a great selection
of trees, and we have some trees on sale, yes
you do. Oh yeah, pretty ones yep, Japanese maples or

(02:51):
thirty percent off and rosa sharance of forty percent off
and trees five gallon and ten gallon five seven ten
or twenty five percent off. So good. I take good
time to get some trees. Christ the muscles going too.
For some exercise, something to do in the cold. Yeah, tree,
it's brisk.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
You're not gonna sweat to death, but you can get
up a you know, a good warmth by digging right.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
And also when you plant those trees, you're not putting
a wine cork in a bottle a big hold. Yeah,
the bigger, the bigger, the better. And I get a
sack of old twire at it. Yeah. And depending on
what part of the town you live in, you might
even get some composts too, Yes, you might.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
So.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I know the soil pretty well in this town. Have
been digging in it for fifty years, you know, no, no, no,
And if you've ever seen a soil map, golly, it's
I think they did it in the sixties. It's real socadelic.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
We've got good, we got water, we got down here.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Like in my neighborhood. You go two blocks away, you
can't even begin into hit rock, and it's the richest
black of soil you've ever come, all beautiful stuff. Yeah.
We were doing a sprinkler system there years ago, and
we plunge that thing all the way down. All we
pulled up was beautiful dirt. Oh so uh. Then then
you go three blocks away and Cliang Clian carrying everything

(04:18):
out sledge hammers and pick time. Was that black stuff
like we had near Chicago? Oh yeah, you remember that?
Oh yeah, yeah, it looked like tar. Yes, really really dark,
but it didn't have the texture of tar. But it's
very really good, very rich stuff, good rich black soil
up there. Even after the developers got through the fact.

(04:38):
In my backyard, my first garden, when I was twelve
years old, I dug a hole as it was down there,
and there's this yellow google on the surface. And then
I went down and it was black soil. Oh boy, beautiful.
So I and all my wisdom took out all that
bad soil and took the good soil and put another
pilot over there. But the bad soil down put the

(05:01):
good soil back on and had these huge sunflowers wow,
catching the sky. Anyway, So I've had a lot of
experience with soil, even even as a kid, as a
playing in the dirt. Yeah, sixty years ago. We're not

(05:24):
supposed to talk about that. We're not telling anybody that
he had birthday today. No, No, I don't tell anybody that.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
No.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
But anyway, when you did a whole, you want it
to be safe kind of like a like a bowl,
not really cylindrical, but a bowl shape, and that increases
the surface sereat of iron, ratio of the soil in
relation to the new soil, so it transitions a lot
better that way. Let's a little roudicals do its thing too.
Come on, it's a cylinder. They got nowhere to go.

(05:55):
The perk rate is is diminished somewhat. But if it's
it's a bowl shaped, has more surface area for the
water to disperse, so you don't get root row. Don't
want that, no, no, And that's probably one of the
bigger problems with people in the new trees is root rot.
And another thing is up borers. They come in. They
just really love these little tender trees. You're delicious. Yeah, people,

(06:18):
bring back my tree died, you know, bring it back.
It looks like Swiss cheese. You know, well, looks like
something made it, something made it. Yeah about that big yeah, yeah.
The bores will get after it too. And actually a
big problem with wintering trees this time of you're also
are rabbits and skunks and squirrels and things. They're looking
for stuff with moisture in it. They really like Japanese

(06:41):
maples because of the sugar content. Oh yeah, it's almost
like going to the candies to it. And they can
actually girdle the tree very quickly and it'll leaf out
in the spring just fine, but a couple of months
later they leave just crinkle up. And is that why
we wrap it a little bit? You want to use
some kind of tree wrapidly around the base of the tree.
At least that's available. You can use anything from a

(07:06):
from a whole blanket or something and wrap it around.
You know, they're never work that hard for it, really,
and or to a regular tree wrap. Or we have
some synthetic tree wrap that works rather well. It's it's
a white polypropylene and animals don't like that because her
teeth gets stuck in it. Help somewhere else, but anyway,

(07:28):
so a tree a tree wrap would help and keep
those nasty squirrels and raccoons and things from knowing on
your on your trees in the wintertime. That's good, So
you want to do that real soon too. Also another
thing is try to keep the moisture levels up. Even
though it's wintertime, there's still some of that capill reaction
going on, and you want to keep the flowing layer

(07:49):
pretty much alive. So if it gets real droughty, then
it can actually kill the plant because there's not enough water.
It's they're still taking on us, not as much but
a small amount of water and it's kind of spongy
right now. Yeah, it's wet right now, but typically December
and January not so much, or amongst the drier times

(08:11):
of the year. It's like concrete. But the yard at
that time of year it's just hard. Yeah, especially when
it's frozen. You can cut it into the blocks and
sell it us. But anyway, so you want to because
they're really not taking up water that much. You want
to try to MultiMate at least. And if it's it
is a little bit on the dry fill, which is
not right now. If it does get a little bit

(08:31):
on the dry side, you might consider watering your new
stuff too, because that can cause problems if it gets
too dry. The water cut actually comes out of the
plant into the soil if it gets really dry. And
then when it comes springtime there's all the vascular tissue
is collapsed and they don't and it's not good. It
won't work. Nothing works. Oh busy time, winter, isn't it. Hey?

(08:56):
You let's take a quick break and when we get back.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
You were talking about point SETI is, yeah, And I
think we need to know a little bit because there's
a myth about that if we're gonna, we're gonna street
things out about the point SETI.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
After this break, nothing says falled and mums pansies and
ornamental kale and fall has fell. At Greentham Nursery and

Speaker 2 (11:57):
We're back. It is the Green Country Guard.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Their programm and our number is nine one eight three
three six fourteen hundred. Nine one eight three three six
fourteen hundred. If you got a question, their comment for Larry,
Larry point seti is popular this time of year, Christmas time,
and everything you know everything about him, the history about him,
whether or not it's a flower type.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Of thing or something other, and whether or not it's
good for cats euphor via pulcherima. You're welcome. That's that's
the genus species. Gotcha for point seti. And they have
a lot of they need a lot of light, intense light,
so and they will tolerate being on the coffee table

(12:38):
for quite some time. They won't they will, they will,
oh yeah, they will just find yeah, And when the
leaves start to curl up, the kind of move them
into the into a sunny windoway, So what you might
want to do is get one and put it in
an afternoon window somewhere on the patio door or something.
And they like a fairly warm too, so you want
to I wouldn't put a heat registered directly on it,
so that will desiccate them pretty bad, desiccate them. But

(13:03):
they do not need some water, and you want to
let them get a little bit on the dry side
between the water, if you don't want to stay wet.
And a lot of times they can floil wrapped, and
you want to cut the foil wrap in the bottom
and elevate it somehow above a saucer. A little bit
of gravel works real well to put in the saucery
and then put the plant on top of that. That
way the riots won't sit in water and the through

(13:26):
the osmosis, the water won't come up and wrought out
the roots. So you know at the nursery where we
have then they're not wrapped and they're on a bench
and well water the extra water goes through onto the ground,
the humidity in the greenhouse. Oh you guys in your science, yeah,
of course. But anyway, so that's that's kind of a
situation you want to do with them. Another way you
can water them is to put them in the sink

(13:47):
and let the water run through and then put it
back where it was. And do fine? Are these things
native or they're indigenous to Mexico? Really? Okay? Good? And
typically in their native have a to their native generic
I guess you will configuration. They make small trees about
ten feet tall. Did not know? Yeah, And it is

(14:09):
a member of the Euphorbia family, and the Euphorbia family
is characterized by the milky sap. When you break the stem,
this elmer's glue. See the more you know, folks, the
more you know, this Elmer's grew like stuff comes out.
It's this whitish sap that runs.

Speaker 9 (14:25):
Out of it.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
And that that's us basically is when it comes out
like that, it's a result of pressure being released inside
the stem to keep it upright. And that's why when
when plants run out of water, they willed because they
don't have that term we called trigidity in the cells.
They stay kind of inflated with the fluid. Then when

(14:47):
you break it there it just leaks out. But really
the latex has a good way of a kind of
a self healing kind of thing. Is a little dry
over and to prevent further loss over time.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
So you just kind of kind of go a little dry,
just is touch before you stick water in.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Just when they begin to wild, you have a little
bit of water, and after a while you'll develop a timing,
if you will. People like to use their watch the water.
I mean, you see the sprinker systems going around in
the rain. Well it's supposed to go on every Wednesday
at eight o'clock whatever. Yeah, but on those still you
want to inside the house. You really don't want them

(15:27):
to grow very much, and you don't want to encourage
rot fundus and everything else. So let them get a
little bit on the dry side. And you look at
the top of the soil at the point said, and
when he gets a little bit on the crusty dry side,
time of water. Now, the flour itself is really not
the flower. Right. What we see is what we call
a bract a bract a practice a modified leaf. The

(15:50):
pigmentation changes in the leaf. It responds to the length
of the day, and pigments turn red or pink or
brigated or whatever whatever the genetics are involved with it.
Gotcha changes the color. They really need us a blue one.
That'd be cool. That would be cool. Someday maybe in

(16:13):
my lifetime I'll have a blue point. But they're available
in a pink and an orange and a red. They
got a lot of colors, primarily red colors though, colors
that are red, so that's pretty cool. Well, there is
kind of an orange is one. It is an oranges
red color, but no blue ones yet.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
We would have those on our set on TV back
when I was doing local television of fourth and we
were told.

Speaker 10 (16:41):
In certain terms, don't touch those. We got a lady
that knows what she's doing. Can't anybody watering those things,
You're out of here, And they were they were really
serious about that. Yeah, they look great all the way
from Christmas for realms a little bit before Christmas, all
the way to New Year's look really good. Yeah, but
they at somebody whoknew what they were doing.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
But you look on the news cast sets on there,
they're starting to get point sets in he's just starting.
So they it's fun to watch them throughout the season.
Sire kind of shrivel up and you know, time to
get on.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I was just the weather man, so I I just
I didn't touch anything. Like you guys are on your own.
I'm over here doing things, drawing pictures.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
The question does a lot of people ask, are points
out is poisonous? And they're not. So they're they're perfectly
safe to have. If the cat eats it, they might
get a little bit sick. Yeah, if the cat eats
points set of leaves, and maybe you're not feeding.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Him enough, you're not giving enough, you know, throw give
a little fancy piece.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah piece or something whatever. Yeah. But anyway, the nine
of all the pettas in the world are groom from
the Paul Echi ranch. Where is that located, I really
don't know. But nonetheless the aching ranches uh in California.

(18:05):
But actually they grow a lot of them. They sub
it out to farms and stuff, even in uh, you know,
the Polynesian areas and all that around there, and then
they bring them in and typically they have but when
they start growing and they have little little plugs, things
like this, little small things and they put them on

(18:26):
an airplane and send them to the paul Achy ranch
and he grows them up into big points that he
is Boom, there they are. There you go. There are
other thousands of points that are growing. A while ago,
we were growing them real well. For a long time
here here in town. We were growing them. But something
happened to the water there. We got a terrible magnesium

(18:48):
deficiency and they wouldn't work so so long to that
little they had that venture, So we we buy them.
Are at this point your little revenue stream magnesium ran
If there is a magnesium deficiency, they don't they don't
do very good. So so we didn't have a really

(19:09):
way to blend it in with our water, so we
just we just outsource it now. So anyway, a study
at Ohio State University showed that a fifty pounds child
who ate five hundred bracts might have a slight tummy ache.
So there's already very little, if any toxicity involved. These
plants just won't just not very tasty. No, anybody want

(19:36):
to eat them a little bit tasty? Yeah, But anyways,
when you get them home, a lot of times they're
in a foil wrap and we encourage people to cut
the foil on the bottom, put it in a saucer,
hopefully as saucer that hopefully has saucer that has a
nibs that elevate the plant above the water source, just
so it doesn't just don't let them sit in water.

(19:57):
Just don't. You will be sorry.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
All right, Hey what let's take a quick break and

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Welcome back to the Green Country Partner program. It's a
thirty one forty eight degrees feels like it's a lot colder,
but we'll we'll address that a little later. Right now,
our phone line is open if you have a question
or comment for Larry at nine eight three three six
fourteen hundred.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Lawrence, what have we We'll getting back outside? People say,
what do we do with my lawns? Right now? What
will we do? Well? Fescue seated lawns should be established
at this point. They're looking good. If you didn't. If
your fescue is not established, you'd probably don't want to
make it through the winter. So you want to think
about that. In late August, September. Anyway, you can put
some down. Maybe it might hold the soil a little bit,

(23:29):
but it's kind of late for that, probably won't grow.
It'll probably grow in in spring when it warms up
just a little bit too. So anyway, and the lawns.
Keep the leaves off the fesci grass. Yeah, here we go.
Yeahs off, keep the leaves off the ground, off the

(23:50):
grass if you can. That's as possible. Leaf flower works
real well. I use my snap of moa snapping rider
snapper in Longmore. Speaking of moors and things, I got
to rebuild the transmission of light snapper mola. Oh really,
that's only about thirty seven years old. Just breaking it in. Yeah, anyway,
that's got to be done too. So fertilize your fescutity

(24:11):
loans right now. Don't do anything to the bermuda grass
or as oyster grass. Kind of leave it the way
it is. You want to leave a little bit of
hight on the bermuda grass, I don't cut it down
really low two and a half yeah, yeah, put training
wheels on the moor, keep it fairly. It's tall. In
other words, at this point, it needs that extra layer
of insulation to help keep it alive, just in case

(24:32):
we have a zinger come through, and that can happen.
It'll actually kill some of your bermut grass if it
gets really really cold. Because we're not at the northern limit,
but we're pretty close to the northern limit for bermuda grass,
we can call some problems. Zoyso grass is a little different.
It's a little hardier, and fescua grass is hardy. Way
up to the north pole. It'll make it okay. But

(24:55):
over here you want to leave. Leave that excell minket
on there too. Weeds that are up in the lawn
right now. If the bermutograss is dormant, look at it
real close and make sure there's no actively growing leaves
on your bermuda grass, which should be at this point.
You can use a non selective urbside just round up
or something to control the weeds the kind of sneak

(25:15):
it in the winter time when the bermuda grass doesn't
know it. Ye oh boy, So look real closely down
inside there, and if there's still some green leaves on
your bermutograss, don't use any round up on the weeds.
At this point. You could use broad leaf weed controls
right now. I believe the weather after after a few days,
it's going to get a little bit warmer. Maybe I

(25:36):
don't supposed to get done to what twenty nine twenty
two odd teen degrees or whatever it's told, So you
might want to The effectiveness as it gets colder of
the urban side is diminished somewhat too. So we do
have warm spells in the winter time when the bermudograss
is dormant, and that's the time when you need to
kind of sneak in and use the zingle's weeds real well.

(25:59):
I sure hope Kevin does it missed the spot like
you did two years ago. I never heard the end
of it. I totally he needs to write his name
in again paint and not round up that area so
the green will show up. So anyway, long weeds right now,

(26:19):
you are broad leaf weeds. Dana liions the handbits up
right now, chick weeds up right now. So if it
does warm up, you can use a broad leaf control.
But as it gets colder, these urban sides just don't
work as fast, So you want to use target a
warm spell when you use a weed control in the
winter time, just because it just won't work, no reaction whatsoever. Yeah,

(26:43):
because it doesn't get transmitted into the plant before it evaporates.
Because the plant doesn't. It's not really overly actively operating.
At this point. We will have warm spells in the
winter times every year we do. It's sixty if anything.
Make sure your equipment's cleaned and up the par and

(27:03):
you got the betrayals to do. It a good time
to maybe do some purchasing or something for if you
do have a lot of weeds, and be prepared because
when the time comes, you want to make sure you
have what you need to do it. Go visit r Yeah,
we got stuff. So anyway, that's the slogan green thwe nursery.
We got we got stuff. Gary's gonna love it anyway. Yeah.

(27:29):
As far as your motor is concerned, I say this
every year. You want to uh run until it runs
out of gas and then pull this rock plug out,
put a little bit of oil and it pulled the
rope a few times. Put the rock plug back in
and it'll be as ready. Well, you have to put
gas in it the springtime. I run mine on occasionally
in the winter time too, well, you would just because

(27:52):
it doesn't get vacuuming the lawn, vacuuming the leaves up
and all that. But the other thing fig I went
rising too. So here he must have heard of something
about him. Well you must have, did you hear it? Yeah,
like I told you that Giving Day, Thanksgiving Day, you

(28:13):
went out with the hedge. I was out of town.

Speaker 9 (28:15):
Well you've always said Thanksgiving Day is the day you
clear clip your rose bushes.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Exactly. He didn't stop till Friday night.

Speaker 9 (28:26):
You know what got me though, Larry, and I was
a little concerned. Yeah, the the rose bushes still had
all their leaves and were green, even a few blooms
on them.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
I got those two. Well it's going to get like
so the eighteen degrees or so pretty soon.

Speaker 9 (28:43):
But I cut them anyway because.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
They're going to die off anyway, so get ahead of
the game.

Speaker 9 (28:48):
Yeah, and I took that heage trimmer and I started cutting.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Well for Thanksgiving, I was in western Oklahoma where burns Flat.

Speaker 9 (28:58):
That's not Western Oklomb Well.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
It's just twenty miles away.

Speaker 9 (29:01):
No. No, I had a guy from Guymon. He goes
these people in Elk City, they think that's western Oklahoma.
They don't know what Western Oa Komae. Come to guy man,
We'll show you that slap out slap.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Anyway, the black cloud of smoke all the way from there.

Speaker 9 (29:21):
Burton Flat is where the space bid is. It's right, yeah,
like a fourteen thousand foot runway.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
And the reason why they had that is because of
the thickness of the concrete. Yeah, it's what twelve feet
thick or something, I don't know how crazy numbers. And
it's one of the only around actually handled the way
to the space shuttle anyway, all this space stuff.

Speaker 9 (29:44):
So anyway, uh, but I got that done, and I
cleaned a lot of stuff up. I got lights replaced,
outdoor lights. I just I got a lot of stuff done.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
It good. He went full Griswold this year.

Speaker 9 (29:58):
I know, yeah, I went. You know, it's really nice
weather Thursday and Friday. Yeah, not today. But anyway, I
just want you to know again.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
You did the Saint Valentine's Day massacre. Well you don't
fall massacre.

Speaker 9 (30:21):
Why do you think Thanksgiving Day is the day you're
supposed to do that? Is there something special about that?

Speaker 2 (30:27):
What it does is by trimming it back right now,
all the dead stuff is off.

Speaker 9 (30:31):
Yeah, But if you do it after it's not the same.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Thing off of that, and then what that doesn't Typically
the brunches and the tissues are a little tougher when
you cut them back there and the new stuff gets
all crinkly and you can get some disease in your plants.

Speaker 9 (30:48):
But do they know it's Thanksgiving and to do?

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Oh yeah, you see about there shivering in the cold. Yeah,
especially they really shiver when the wind blows, you know,
so they're kind of scared.

Speaker 9 (30:59):
So well, do you think it's gonna you know, the
the northern the northern hawthorn, is that what it's called. Yeah,
the hawthorn, Yeah, with the bleak flowers.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh idiot hawthorn Indian author. Huh. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (31:16):
So you know, I've been known if we have a zinger.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
That you need to cover your raphaels.

Speaker 9 (31:26):
At last year i covered them with straw.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
And they came out just like oh yeah, but they're
on the south side of the house. You're about a
zone one' zone north over there. It doesn't get the
north wind. It gets the advantage of the sun over there.

Speaker 9 (31:40):
So but if you do you think we're going to
have a zinger this year?

Speaker 2 (31:44):
No, no zingers warm, it's going to be moderate and
it's going to be moist snow up up here. We're
gonna have snow eighteen inches of the snow.

Speaker 9 (31:58):
We had had that in a long time.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
I've not seen it here if well, you remember that
one we had.

Speaker 9 (32:05):
Golly oh, I remember remember.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
That one, that February snow we had that one.

Speaker 9 (32:08):
Year tractors had to get a tractors.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
You know how long it's been, siss we've had one
like that. Statistically speaking, every year you have a better
chance of having a heavy snow, but if.

Speaker 9 (32:21):
You get snow that insulates or anything too.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
It does. Yeah, that one time we had that real
heavy snowfall and then it was followed up by sub
zero weather that five bows zero or something. Yeah, that
helped a whole lot for the plants too. And you
see the new r Stephens Holly is one good example.
You'd have a hedgerow of that, and you and the
ftinias the same way. You can see where the snow

(32:44):
line was because the top died in the bottom yeah,
came out self pruding shrubs. But anyway, that's I remember
when that happened. Some of the plants that are kind
of marginal here, they they got pruned well from the
from the extreme cold followed, you know, that followed the

(33:07):
snow storm. But now you sprinkle straw, that'll work. Yeah.
Now I remember uh that year in front of all
these they had they still have near the archives, hollow
of it and you can tell exactly where the snow
line was torn hill about about it. It came back.

Speaker 9 (33:31):
Yeah, so so we'll see. Anyway, I just want you
to know I got an old trimmed doll trim I
wanted to cut my monkey grass down to nothing.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Oh, don't do that. Yeah, that's Valentine's Day.

Speaker 9 (33:47):
I hope it dies.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Gosh, well you probably will. If we have a really
really cold spell and your liar opi monkey grass, you
will probably have some die back on it.

Speaker 9 (34:01):
Yes, it's going to take over the place.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I just well, that could be an advantage. Actually, it's
a very good erosion control, very good. You could plant
along the river bank over there by the bridge, and
that will grow up and it only gets like so tall,
kind of like self pruning grass, you know, and it'll
it'll stop that erosion real well too.

Speaker 9 (34:24):
Maybe I'll dig some up and move it down.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
It can get golly, the water can go through there
as fast as it once That old monkey grass will
hold it. Pretty good about that.

Speaker 9 (34:35):
Maybe that's what I'll do.

Speaker 14 (34:38):
I think we have a project in the world. Happy Thanksgiving,
Happy Thanksgiving. You got those point, yes, yes, they're in Yeah.

It is eight forty seven forty eight degrees and you

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Three six fourteen hundred. Dogwoods, that's what we're talking about
now right there. Dogwards is an Eastern native understroy tree
with really kind of some year round interest in it
and it has typically it has white blooms in May,
and each flowers actually four bracts. Remember we mentioned the
points that, yeah, bracts. Well, what you see on the

(38:56):
dogwood as is a white flower is a bract. It's
actually the coating over the flower. And you look real
close to the flower, that's a whole bunch of little,
tiny little stamens and pistols and stamens in there. And
that's where all the that's where all the fun happens
over there in that area, not on the bract fans
middle exactly. So uh, that's that's kind of the story

(39:17):
of those. They like dogwoods like well drained soil, They
like they kind of shy away from the direct sun.
If you have an area where that that it is sunny,
you might consider a cornice calca, which is a Korean dogwood, yes, sir,
and the flower physiology is similar, but it blooms later.
It blooms on top of the leaves rather than in

(39:39):
the absence of the leaves, and the ballooms last a
little longer on the corners Calca than they do in
the corners Florida. Uh. In my house, I when I
moved in, I heard it a dogwood tree that was
planted two feet away from the house on the west
side of the house. Must have been a Mother's Day
gift and he's threw in the ground or something. I
moved it around back and now it's towers over and

(40:01):
you rescued the dartle it. And actually we had some
little baby dog woods which a dug up kind of
them into the uppies. And it's the first year that
my six foot tall baby dog woods are going to
have blooms on them. Nice, so cool. I can't wait
for that. You know.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
I lived in Palestine, Texas, and that was supposed to
be the home of the dogwood trails, the dogwood capital
of the world.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
And my, oh my, when you.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Drive through there in May, dog woods, yeah season and
weason and all good things.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Boys. It's pretty though. People up through there taking pictures.
I grew up in small town, North Carolina. Yeah, they
got some too, yeah, wild wild in the woods.

Speaker 10 (40:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
And I just remember as a kid just seeing all
the dog woods and we'd run out of the woods
and just staring awe at these trees. Yeah, so that
was that was kind of cool. Yeah. The dogwood likes uh,
well drained soil, and it likes some shielding from the
hot sun, if you will. Mine is between the house
which is a story and a half a peak roof

(41:06):
and the shed, and it's done really quite well, and
it's in an area that's well drained too. They definitely
do not like wet feed and this dogwood I really
never do anything to it. I don't water it very much.
It's fine covered in blooms for the spring. So they're

(41:27):
a really good trade. Their lifespan isn't overly long, though,
you might get you know, twenty thirty years out of them,
and they do have a tendency to get stem and
track notes when they get older, and it's time just
to get another one when that happens. So you might
consider a cornice Florida, which is the dogwood in an
area that is shielded from the hot sun during the

(41:48):
midday of these and if you can't do that, you
might consider a corn as calce. But if the Korean dogwood,
and they're available in pink and white and stuff too
as well. If the other dog would do and I'd
like the flowers on the Korean they last a lot
longer than dog would do, so so that's a good
flowering plant. I have keep keep in mind how big

(42:10):
it gets. Some people plant them really close to the
front of the house or right by the sidewalk because
it looks looks real cute. When you get to keep
in mind it seems gonna get twenty feet wide. It'll
be difficult to get the piano out of the house
when your dogwood is in a way, So give it room,
get it, keep it ten feet away from the house

(42:31):
or the sidewalk. It might seem a little distant at first,
but as it grows into it though, it'll be just fine.
It it'll fit real good. So ten feet away they
have about a twenty foot span, so that'll that'll get
it far out and avoid from the house. It won't
be a problem. Some dog wood well drained not a
lot of clay. Good organic soil make a really really

(42:54):
big excavation when you plant it, and if it doesn't
drain well, slightly elevated so it does drain away from
it pretty much. And keep in mind if you get
one that's balld and burlap, sometimes when they wrap those
balls together, the actual crown of the tree where the
root beats the top is sub subgrade, and you want

(43:18):
to make sure to wheel that back a little bit
before you get to wear it was as it was
in the ground when it was dug there. I found
that an awful lotment planting trees that you yeah, you think, well,
I need to put it up to the top of
the rootball, but then you pull that away. It's just
it can be as much as six inches too much
stuff on the surface of the room into protection. So

(43:41):
we can kind of advise on that. Another way to
get them is a container trees too. Typically the ground
elevation is set like it should be, and it's a
simple matter of putting us into the ground, but you
still want to prepare the ground around it. Because the
dog woods are not suited for heavy clay, so they
like organic stuff that grow in the forest. Where other

(44:02):
trees are. They have a millennia of leaves falling down
a really good soil spoiled that, Yeah, and then you
dump them into clay, and you wonder why it didn't
do well. Pass As far as past our concern, we
do have some issues with bores on the dogwoods here.
So if you have a situation where bores or a
problem in your house, you might want to do in

(44:24):
a neighborhood. Whatever you've had trouble with them, you might
consider doing some amitted corporate or something to help keep
them under control, just so the tree can get established.

Jane Phillips and Bartlesville.

Speaker 17 (45:12):
From the time Frank Phillips completed his magnificent Lodge home
at Woollarrock in nineteen twenty five until Jane's death in
nineteen forty eight, they entertained the rich and the famous
from all over the world. Their guests included wealthy business
legends such as John D. Rockefeller and Henry Sinclair, politicians
such as President Harry Truman and President Herbert Hoover, entertainers

(45:34):
Rudy Valley, Will Rogers and Rubinoff, famous authors such as
Edna Ferber, Pilot Wiley Post, Elliott Roosevelt, son of President Roosevelt.
The list goes on and on.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
As we look back on.

Speaker 17 (45:48):
The parties and the stories and the deals that were
being done at the lodge, we realized that it truly
was the Great Gatsby of the Midwest. To most of
Frank's guests, who were visiting from the e East or
West coast, and many times from Europe, they were truly
seeing a glimpse of the wild West that they had
heard so much about, while in fact that era was

(46:09):
long over by then. Frank Phillips loved the history and
wanted to do everything he could to make sure that
his guests received there's money's worth during their visit to
his lodge and to Woollarock. With that in mind, it
was not unusual for a car load of his guests
to arrive at the gates of Woolarock and their large
black sedans and be stopped by masked bandits on horseback,

(46:32):
taken from their cars and robbed of their wallets, jewelry,
and purses, and then sent on their way by the thieves.
What those guests didn't realize is that these were employees
of Franks, who hurried back to the lodge on horseback,
arriving well ahead of the cars. When the guests arrived
at the lodge and burst into the house telling their
wild and terrifying story to Frank, he would smile and

(46:54):
point to the table in the living room where the
stolen loot was on display, compliments of Uncle Frank. Once
their blood pressure had returned to normal, they too enjoyed
Frank's welcome to the Ranch joke. They came to see
the wild West, and Frank Phillips obliged in true Oklahoma fashion,
and they left Woollarock with stories that likely got bigger

(47:15):
and bigger and bigger over the years. That same magic
continues still today at this National treasure Welcome home to Wollarock.

Bartlesville's oldest radio station K one AM fourteen hundred and
now still clear on FM ninety three point three and
ninety five point one.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
It's an eight and a half and our phone line
is opening into one. I'm sorry, it's a nine eight
three six, fourteen hundred. I'm having one of those saturdays
where things are just kind of a little discombobulated here,
mister Larry, how we do it over there?

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Oh, that's fine. We talked about the dogwood trade of
the week. The shrub of the week would be choke cherry. Okay, no,
not that guy Oka. It is Erronia or erudifolia, a
top North American native shrub for landscaping with incredible four
season interest. Brilliant red fault foliage is one of its
primary qualities, and it does have a groomally large glossy

(48:47):
red berries on it. It is a pretty cool plant.
The fruit is kind of decorative in winter, offering you know,
wildlife forage, et cetera, et cetera. Spring ballooms are clear
white and produced with clutters. It is these plus grow
ninetyatively around here. To run through the woods, you can
probably find something. Look for fat birds eat. They watch
out for the birds. They're fighting for them. Yeah. It does, uh.

Speaker 12 (49:13):
It uh.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
It interesting to grow up on fence lines and whatnot.
It can be a bit of a can be a
bit of a pass. Yeah. It does tend to sucker
and spreading into larger stands over over time. It's the siduous,
prolific and full sun but will grow in part shaped
with limited fruit production. How tall that thing gets They're
six eight feet taller, so it's not a huge plant

(49:35):
by all means needs to get cut back every now,
but I like it ports berries and the wildlife like
it too, So make sure a nice little you just
kind of have to keep keep it under control a
little bit too, can get keep it at your chest high.
That's not all the tall gets anyway. Anyway, it is suous.
It is very hardy, very disease resistant, and it has

(49:58):
berries and things for wildlife and pretty to look at too,
So anyway, cool cool, that's the choke cherry. Choke cherry.
So I don't think we have it on hand at
the nursery right now. We can probably grabudge somewhere or
just go to you just wait, yeah, you just wait.
You'll do that one with a deciduous holly. Another natives
feces and it is. It does tend to colonize like

(50:19):
that too. I have one in my backyard, just beautiful.
Run it just I'm a solid red and they're really beautiful.
It's like that all winter long until the starch inside
the berry ferments a little bit. Then the robin's ready
to go after it.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
So yeah, you ever see a bird fly backwards, you've
been going to the choke berry.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
And when we got the shop here, brother, we got
point setters right now, I bet you just selection and
trees are on sale. We got all kinds of stuff
