Speaker 1 (00:00):
And back at it we go. Twenty two minutes after
the top of the air. You're at home with Gerry Salivent.
Time to bring in Ron Wilson, our National landscape gardening guru.
Can I call you a guru?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
No, okay? How about knowledgeable?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yes? Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Our knowledgeable gardening and general gaping guy? General, generally knowledgeable,
General Wilson.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Don't you look at that kind of as you know,
the year, the hardware, how to guy generally know how
to take care of a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I'm pretty general general general, Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Is there any work to do in the ars? We
just call it a year.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Throw in the trowel, be done with it.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh my gosh, Can I talk about my river birch
and I need counseling.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I thought of you this week, as I always do.
Something comes up and someone sent me a picture they
had just planted two river birches about two weeks ago.
And that wasn't why I thought of you. But when
you plant them this time of the year, any kind
of disturbance of that root ball, you know what's going
to happen. Right, They're one of the first ones to
turn yellow and brown and drop their leaves. And I
don't care how much you water them. That just happens.
(01:09):
It's just a natural reaction for that particular tree what
they do, and that's what they do. And so you know,
I had to explain that and say you're okay, stick
with your watering program and it'll be fine next spring.
And I said, and just ask Gary about them.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So just to bring up to speed.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
By the way, they are a nice tree, used it
awful lot.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
They are.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
It's just that they will also reflect when it gets
really dry outside, and they'll let you know.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So here's my analogy, because they have two of them,
so there's probably between the two of them, there's probably
six trunks major branches, however you want to say it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
And now are those individual trees or multiple branches, trunks
coming out of one roots?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Two individual trees or root balls, But.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Then there's I mean coming out that's that clump, that clump,
there's like three or four Are those individual trees. Are
those three or four coming out of the same root,
three or four coming out of the same root ball?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
No, no, okay, actually individual plants.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Are they really?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah? And that's why sometimes one, you know, I say
that on a serious note, because sometimes one will conk out. Yeah,
it's it's its own root system down there. You got
to remember, there's there's like three or four trees.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Actually, try not to get real close to them.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I know, you stay away anyway. I can tell you this.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Thing did not drop leaves in June because it was
so wet, exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And so there was twice as many, maybe four times
as many leaves on that tree. And when he got dry,
seventy percent of them turned yellow and.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Dropped yep, right on my dryway. But you know the
good thing about my guard, You know the good thing
about that Two things. One is they don't drop them all.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
No, they didn't drop them all.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
They will eventually, and they will eventually, but they don't.
They keep some leaves on there. And secondly, it gave
you an excuse to get the the blower out.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Boy, I'll tell you what. And and the break and
the was a lot of leaves. And then we finally
had some rain and there was a lot of wet leaves.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I'm surprised you don't have all those blowers. It turns,
it reverses and becomes a vacuum.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Vacuum those are sharp. Remember those big vacuums, they probably
still have them that had wheels on them.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Oh yeah, huge, Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Gosh, be like vacuuming your carpet, only it was a
big Oh. I love those. I don't have one, but
I love them.

Speaker 1 (03:34):

rid of rabbits? I know you probably tell them there's
you know, you throw a shoe at the brink onan
and hose it in real good. And I've never heard
you say take off your shoe and throw it at
the red They'll be gone. They are the words out,
don't mess. How was that one?
