Speaker 1 (00:36):
Our toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson, your
personal yard boy. We're talking about yarding, saying goodbye to October,
Hello November. Can you believe that? Did you have a
great Halloween? We did. We got the grandson's up and
out and going and doing your thing. And I'll tell
(00:58):
you what we were at. We were at their house
at the beginning, and we left and went to our
house for the last half hour forty five minutes. I
have never seen that many trigger treaters at both locations
than what I saw last night. Kind of brought back
old memories when you know everybody used to get out
and do that. It seemed like everybody had the fire
(01:19):
pit going into fireplaces there in the driveways and things
all set up, and the inflatables and the decorations, and
tons and tons of parents and kids out walking the streets.
I think that's a great thing. I mean, I was excited.
As a matter of fact, we left our daughters. They
(01:40):
were running out of candy and they hadn't gotten into
it forty minutes into the whole thing. So crazy, But
it was great seeing all the people out and doing
their thing. I tell you it's amazing how Halloween is
now rival ring rival ringing Christmas when it comes to
decorationsreal I think I've seen some things this year with
(02:03):
lights and the blow ups and all the things that
are out there. I mean, it's crazy. But anyway, if
that's what you get into, have at it. I guess.
But it was I don't know, it just made me
feel I just felt like, you know, it was good.
People were having a good time out with the kids,
gathering up the candy and enjoying it. So I hope
(02:26):
everybody had a great evening. I knew our grandkids did,
and they came back with way too much candy. But
I've made a deal, and their dad's out of town
for the week. I said, you know that the Almond Joys,
Grandpa really likes those. So if you get any of
those small almond joys, and I know your dad likes
them too, but you know, just once you pull those
aside for Grandpa, and then when your dad gets back
(02:48):
in a week from his business trip, just tell him
you know you didn't get any Almond Joys. I mean,
you know, well you know he kind of didn't, didn't
you know Grandpa took him. Maybe I don't know, but anyway,
ask them the same for Grandpa. So we'll see if
I wind up with anyone, oh joys or not. Wow, anyway,
it's a fall. Can you believe that we are so
(03:12):
delayed this year? But in our area, in our area,
and it was dry and we've had a couple of
timely rainfalls. It's warm late. But this week, this week,
fall colors absolutely have exploded. It's going to be a
quicker fall, I think than usual. But it's amazing that
(03:36):
we could see about you know, you've seen, we've seen
things kind of creeping into some fall color, especially the
red maples, the the you know asier rubrims. We're seeing
those getting some colt color. Burning bush had not even
started to turn red yet ten days ago in our area.
You know, just nothing. It's so nice and green and
a few things here and there, and a lot of
(03:57):
drought color with the yellows and brown and things like that.
But actual good oranges and bright yellows and reds and
maroons are now happening. And I mean it's just exploded
with color. Especially the red maples. Unreal, they stand out
like a sore thumb right now. And I tell you
(04:19):
that's when we talk about planting trees and the course,
finding the right tree for the right location most important obviously,
but then you look at the other factors when it
comes to the siding, which one specifically, if you're looking
at an option of trees for that particular location, looking
at the other benefits of the trees for four season,
(04:40):
you know, characteristics to it, does it flower in the springtime,
you know what kind of fall colors. I still think
fall color is more important than the spring color. I
think fall colors typically last longer than spring colors, and
they're certainly like with these maples, absolutely more spectacular is
(05:00):
just phenomenal. What we're seeing right now. But again, burning bush,
nice reds. We're seeing the tupelos starting to get some
good reds and the maple starting to get good reds.
We're even starting this ash trees. But few ash trees
that have been protected or somehow survived through the emerald
ash board in our area. Uh, you know, the white
(05:21):
ash showing showing great to the maroons, yellows to maroons,
and of course the green ash showing the yellows, and
that's typically one of those trees that colors up way
earlier in the fall season, but now they all seem
to kind of do it at the same time. But
again just spectacular. And now looking at the oaks, which
typically are later after everything's done, now also starting to
(05:45):
show the yellows and the oranges and into some maroon
colors as well. Sugar maples, Norway maples starting to show
their yellows and oranges for fall colors as well. So
really starting to see it right now. I think it's
the rainfall we had this week was great, was outstanding,
and hopefully you got it in your area. It was
(06:07):
so you know, it came in and it soaked. We
we got some pretty good penetration with water. But again,
make sure you're checking the rain gage in your area.
Talk about you know, it's how important fall watering is.
Make sure that that rainfall that came through, uh, you know,
I still look at it kind of as a bonus.
But in our area what we got was a soaker.
We got some pretty good penetration, but again build on that,
(06:31):
especially the evergreens, especially the evergreens, And again I watched
a video. We have several nurses around the state. Larger
growth nurses that grow plants for other garden centers, other nurseries,
things like that, and they walk every week and talk
and look at some of the plants, and they show
you the videos of what's available and what it looks like,
(06:52):
et cetera, et cetera. And the last couple of weeks
one of the ones that they do a really good job.
I've really started to stress now how important it is
if you have planted any evergreen this fall, summer, spring,
or last year or the last couple of years, and
you get into any type of a dry situation whatsoever,
(07:15):
how important it is to keep those watered as needed.
And when we're talking watered as needed, we're talking soaking
thoroughly rootball, immediate root ball and soil around it, thorough soaking,
close to drying out, give it time to kind of
breathe a little bit, and then soak it again. How
important that is to carry that right through the fall season.
(07:36):
And this week specifically said especially you folks who have
planted arbor viting, and you know, we love the arbor vity,
all the different varieties, the green giants, the spring groves,
the you know, emerald greens, any of the selections and
there are so many great selections out there. And now
(07:57):
with the box tree moth issues that we're having people
replacing boxwood using some of the arborviti that grow more
in a globular shape, but any evergreen in general, but
arbravity especially, how important it is again to keep the
moisture to those plants, especially the newly planted ones, especially
(08:18):
the newly planted ones as we go through the fall season,
and specifically brought that up. And it's so important. So
even the wholesalers who are growing these things, reminding other
wholesalers to tell their customers and if they buy from them,
and like you know, have them in a healing area
or whatever to keep them watered as we go through
(08:38):
this fall season. How important that really is. So again,
please do that, keep up with it right now with
arbravity and many of the evergreens, you are seeing that
inner needle drop internedle drop where we get into the
fall season and we get the fall color from the leaves,
we also get some inner needle fall color from the evergreens.
Not all of them do this, most of them do
(09:00):
for our area. There are several that will do it
in the springtime rather than in the fall, and if
it's a spruce like blue spruce Norway spruce, the spruce
typically hold on to needles from about three years and forward,
all right, but past that they will shed those and
then that's typically back inside the plant, so you don't
(09:22):
notice it quite as much. But when you look at
pines who can lose everything up to this year's growth,
and they're longer and they turn the bright yellow, and
or the arbra vide who just really sheds hard on
the inside yellows and browns, and of course the drought
issue and all that that can scare the heck out
of you, there's no doubt about it. And again it's
(09:45):
just normal fall needle drop and situations, whether it's really dry,
depending on the evergreen, the temperatures, et cetera, etc. Can
all affect how severe that can be. But as long
as you look and they're only dropping needles, yellowing and
all to the inside of the plant, nothing to the outside,
(10:07):
you should be good to grow, all right, You should
be good to grow. Nevertheless, it's a good sign to
make sure you get in there and water. And you
know what I like to tell folks, if it's really
bugging you, when you see it like you're pulling the
driveway and you see these the yellow in that or
you're looking out at the window. Take the garden hose
out there with a strong stream of water. Get the
host thing on the end of the dram dram hose
of the revolution revolver spray, turn it to the really
(10:33):
hard spray and just flush the inside of those evergreens out.
Flush them out. Make those needles drop, make those arbravity.
You drop all those needles right down to the base.
Let them lay around the base of the tree. That's great.
Flush them out that way. You don't see it, but
you know what you're doing. At the same time you're
watering the plant, so you know, again, do that flush
(10:53):
it out. But if it's needles drop on the inside
of the plant, not to the edges of the of
the of the branches, you s'll be good to grow.
If it's continuing on to the edges of the branches,
you got another issue. But again point being gota water
and the other point being great fall colors in our
area right now, because it is absolutely exploded in colors
(11:16):
and it's spectacular. So what's gonna happen after all this
needs are and as the needles start to drop, the
leaves are gonna start to drop as well. We'll talk
about dropping leaves, we'll talk about fall color, we'll talk
about still planting. We'll talk about why Joe Strecker's not

cup of Joe. It's just you and me and Danny

It's lots of postings this week. Ron Wilson online dot com.
(15:20):
You'll see Rita's recipe. Uh. And it's a great recipe,
by the way. Uh, it's a it's a good just
in time for the holiday season, candied pecans and walnuts,
and of course you can use any kind of nuts
here and it's uh, it's I've had these before. She
makes these. These candy nuts are absolutely outstanding. And again
the thing remember about Rita's recipes is that they're always
(15:43):
very simple, very easy to do. And this is one
of those things, you know, just as we start to
get into the uh you know, a little party here,
in a little party there, and you have to bring
something to uh to share. These homemade candy nuts, you
can do a whole bunch of them. They store really well,
and then take these to the parties and you will
be a hit of the party, but it's Rita's. Hi,
(16:04):
Rita Eckenfeldt's recipe of the week candied nuts, and she
did the candied pecans and walnuts, but you can do
whatever nuts you'd like to use to candy them. And
you'll find that recipe at ron Wilson online dot com.
And don't forget Rita's website as well, at about eating
dot com. And of course last night was an important
night for Rita. We kid her about that have been
(16:26):
forever since I've known Rita. Used to always introduce her
as a part time witch doctor and maker of strange potions.
And we're kind of quit doing that, you know why,
because we had some folks saying can email hers, say
can you make a potion for this? Are you really
a part time So we kind of got away from
But anyway, you still call her about flying around on
(16:46):
the Halloween night and all the different brooms that she's
written over the years. She's such a fun person to
talk with that we have so much fun. Everybody loves Rita,
no doubt about it. But check out our recipe for
candy nuts. And this is, like, I say, good one
for going into the holiday season. Now, I was talking
earlier before the break about leaves are going to right
now have just exploded in our area. Reds are outstanding,
(17:11):
especially the red maples. Burning bush just went. Burning bushes
went from a good dark green to red crazy. Oh
and you know one of the other ones I noticed
last night and some we have a tentiony to forget about.
This one for fall color is Japanese maples. You know,
you get a Japanese a red Japanese maple, and the
(17:33):
green ones give a good fall color as well, but
the red Japanese maples, right, you get to this time
of the year and we've had those red leaves all
summer long. Nice red stands out beautiful, and you know
there's different tones, different shades of the reds. But as
they get into the fall color, that maroon within that
leaf seems to disappear. And the sugars that caused these
(17:58):
brighter reds and all the different colors they start to
stand out now in these leaves. So with a Japanese maple,
with most of them, as we get into the fall season,
the maroon starts to disappear and a brighter red starts
to come to the surface of the leaf, and man
(18:18):
they can be spectacular. Again, I saw one last night
at one of my daughter's neighbor's house and just really
starting to make that change. And again we kind of
forget about that. We buy it for the ornamental value,
the shape, the bark, the leaves, all of that, and
of course the good color during the growing season, but
we have a tendency to forget what a great fall
(18:39):
color it can be. It's a totally different red than
that maroonish or that purplish red that you get during
the growing season. So keep those in mind as well
as a matter of fact, as you're driving around. If
you've got fall color in your neighborhood right now, take
a look at the trees and shrubs that are given
you a good fall color and make a note. If you're
(19:01):
not sure what they are, ask the pull in. Folks
love it when you ask about the plants or take
a picture of it. Email them to me and I
can typically identify. Give me something up close. Some folks
send me some pictures from way far away and I
just can't blow them up enough to see what it is.
But if you get a picture of the leaf and
the overall plant, a lot of times most of the
(19:21):
time we can identify it for you. But again, take
a look around the neighborhoods right now, look at the
fall colors that are out there. And I think personal
opinion that when you you know, if it comes down
to know what other characteristics do I like about my
options of trees for a particular area, I take fall color.
It lasts, typically, lasts longer, typically brighter than spring colors,
(19:45):
and just really a great way to close out the
end of the season, I think. Anyway, now, as I
said earlier, oh by the way, my plant pick of
the week Ginko, and we that's on our website at
Ginko also although it was spelled wrong on there, but nevertheless,
we'll talk about gigk when we come back. And those
dropping leaves. Got lots of tips to share with you,

had that.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That's what matters.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
That's exactly what matters. By the way, Dan, did you
get a lot of trigger treaters last night?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, we didn't do any candy or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay, but I don't know if you notice any out there.
Just seemed like more than I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
There wasn't very many in our neighborhood at all, even
going by.
Speaker 1 (22:51):

Speaker 1 (23:06):
There you go. That's good. That's good. But Dan and
I are sitting there. You we don't have any water.
We can't go to the bathroom and all.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
If you go down nine floors, we can.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Good luck with that. Yeah, I hope you make it
down in the back during the during the break, the
three minute break. Any anyway, feel sorry for us yet
I didn't think so I do. Okay, I'm glad talking
about you, yarady at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five and talking about the leaves and all.
My pick of the week this week is my second
most favorite tree Japanese the green leaf, green cut leaf,
(23:41):
Japanese maple right there that I love those plants as well,
that's the green leaf. But this is my definitely my
I'll put it there. It's at number two, and that's
the ginko tree. And what's fun about ginko trees. There's
such a great history here. You got it. And it's
not a native obviously, but you got to go back
and read the history about ginkos sometime. But ginko by
(24:02):
a lot. But by the way, on our website romosalonline
dot com, it is spelled wrong on the front there
and then we'll get that change. It's g I n
K geo. But you know, great history there a couple
things really, you know, and everybody if you know anything
about trees, you recognize the ginko because it has that
fan shaped leaf very distinct. It is one of the
(24:23):
oldest plants, older than the dinosaurs. It's the species known
as a living fossil. You know, I supposedly was here
before the dinosaurs even roamed the earth. So pretty cool tree.
I think a bunch of arbists were asked many years ago,
if you know, fifty years from now, if there was
only one tree that was going to be left with
all the things were going through out there today, what
(24:43):
would be that one tree you would predict? And most
of them said the ginko because it is it's tough
and durabled. Hey been arounsance before the dinosaurs. But they
typically all give you a good yellow to golden yellow
fall color. And when these things go into color with
that golden yellow again, I've been using the words spectacular
(25:06):
all morning because of the good reds and all that
we're getting in our area right now. This is really
cool and these these leaves, what's fun about the ginko tree?
And I saw some newer plant ones that were already
starting to lose some of the leaves, but the established
trees what's interesting about these is that when they started,
they start to turn to yellow. It's very spectacular and
it looks really nice, and some con vary and getting
(25:28):
a little bit more of a gold into the deeper
gold into the leaf. But they seem to stay on
the tree for a fair amount of time, so they
just hang on to them a fuel start to drop
here and there, but then when they drop, they drop.
So they all drop. And so when you get you know,
you get right into the right you know, you just
peak color, peak color, and all of a sudden they
(25:50):
just drop and it's like a two day thing, three
day thing, and they're all on the ground. And when
they hit the ground, they make this golden blanket around
the bottom of the tree. And again this goes into
the history of the tree as far as why they
do that, you know, creating this blanket for the queen
the ginko and all of that. But anyway, it is
(26:12):
really spectacular and it's a really good look, very cool.
So again check it out. And there are so many
different types of ginkos available. There so many different selections
that you probably could find a ginko dwarf standard little
round balls trees that get the narrow and upright, and
it's a big tree. So if you use a get
a regular ginko by Loba, we're talking, give it plenty
(26:36):
of room. Not very fast growing, we give it plenty
of room. And also make sure that when you're buying
these that you check with the nursery or the local
garden center where they're selling them, and make sure that
they are all male selections, that they are sterile, that
they do not produce nuts. The nut that comes off
of this plant, the fleshy, the flesh the around the
(27:00):
outside of that nut is horrible in smell. It smells
like a combination of dog poop, skunk and something else.
It's bad. You get it on your shoes, it's bad.
And they can produce a lot of nuts. Now the
nut itself is actually considered uh gourmet in some of
(27:20):
the Asian countries. But you got to get all that
flesh off the top of it first, and you got
to cook the nuts and the hold on yards. It's
not fun, all right. It smells horrible, So make sure
that when you are buying them you are not getting
a female selection, that you're getting stale or male selections.
All right, But again you'll find uh prime, you know,
(27:41):
different types for one spot in your yard. Truly one
of the coolest trees I've seen, with a great history
behind it. Again, you can check it out on our
website at Ron Wilson online dot com. Ron in Cincinnati, Ron,
Good morning, not too bad.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Good They got a question on I got several banana
trees in my backyard and I've had them for years
and just had a question about win arising them. Sometimes
I do okay with them and other times. But my
main question is is a lot of people cut them
to the ground. I try not to. Does that well
that help them get taller or not? I mean, I've
bubble wrapped them before, and I mean, am I just
(28:17):
wasting my time?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Are you what you're doing is bubble wrapping this single
trunk that's coming up out of the ground probably what
three feet off the ground or so. Do you notice
that when you do that? Does anything come out of
that trunk the next year? Does everything come up as
a puff around the base?
Speaker 5 (28:34):
There's stuff that comes out of it?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Right? There is stuff? Or not? Stuff?
Speaker 5 (28:38):
There is?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Okay? Uh, you know, are you helping yourself out? Yeah?
If you can get that to come through. We don't,
and I say we, I don't do that as a
matter of fact. We'll wait until that thing that you know,
I do the Northern Wonder which is hardy through zone five,
and I'll just let the mother nature freezing, frost whatever
finally knock those things so there's nothing left and just
(29:01):
take them off at the ground and then let those
let the pups come back up in the springtime and
take it from there. Can you wrap them like you are? Absolutely,
and sometimes that happens. The problem you get into sometimes
is if it stays too wet underneath there, they start
to rot and then you lose that thing. So trying
to keep it as dry as you can, that's the key,
(29:22):
you know, wrapping it, keeping it dry, getting the plastic
so it doesn't leak, and keeping it drying. If you
can do that and get that overwintering, yeah, you know,
you do help yourself out a little bit. But the
height of the plant obviously depends on the type of
banana and the season. If we can get off to
an earlier season, warms up earlier, soil temperatures warm earlier,
and lasts longer, we'll get more height out of them
(29:44):
this year. Trying to think ours by our sign at
the nursery, probably got about ten feet tall or so.
Probably some of the high school we've seen so far,
we've had them a little bit higher than that. But
you know, again they were very late coming up this
year because of the cooler soil temperatures, so that'll that'll
affect them also. But yeah, if you can keep that dry,
(30:05):
it does help, you know. Yeah, you get a little
bit bigger tree out of that one, and then the
pups continue to come around the outside.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Okay, so the height doesn't really you know, matter is
too much unless you get it to come out of
that stem.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeap, I think, yeah, get it out of that stem.
And again weather is going to be the big dictator.
How quick can I get it to come out? Get
it to come along, you know. And sometimes when you
buy those that we've been growing like in a greenhouse
so that they're already starting to you know, get some
size to them, you know, they'll come on and give
you some heights more at the end of the season.
So it just shows you the earlier, the longer the
(30:41):
season we can get out of that, the more heights
we're going to get out of them.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
As well right, so, I mean, and our seniors over there,
and they've told me that they cut them all the
way to the ground, so it's just a matter just
maulting them.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I mean, we don't do it.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
They have to mean, how do you keep how do
you keep those dry?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Or we don't We don't we on the puffs all
coming back up, We don't do anything. I'll tell you
that thing is the easiest. We wait till it just
looks like heck, so it's all brown, all laying all
over the place, go out there and just cut it
off the ground, fluff up the mault around the top
of it. We don't add any wultz to it. Just
let it do its thing. And then in the springtime
as it warms up, it comes right back up again.
(31:19):
And you can see that thing. Is that the diameter
of that from the single plant that was planted ten
years ago, that thing is now about twelve feet in diameter,
fifteen feet in diameter with all those puffs that come
up every year.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Wow, I sounds like I'm going after work.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, you know again, some folks will do that and
it does work. But if it starts to get wet
in there, then you kind of lost everything anyway, and
you just count on the puffs today.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
I got it. I got a couple of those those
northern ones this year from over there.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yea.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
And they're pretty hardy.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Right, they're tough, man, I tell you you're looking at it.
We try to we tried it. That's the parent plant
from when that was first propagated, and we try to
do nothing to it just to prove how hardy it is.
So we just let it do its thing, besides us
cutting off the tops when it's all and again, we
let mother nature freeze it, frost it, do everything to
(32:10):
it until it looks nasty, and then take it off
and leave it alone.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Okay, so I didn't Did I make a minor I
already cut mine? Did I make a mistake?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
No? No, you no, you can do it earlier. But again,
you know, the longer we leave them on there, the
more energy is putting back into that root system. Again,
but can you take them off now? Absolutely, that's that's
not an issue. But we again, but we just let
let them, let mother nature do it and clean it
up at the toward the usually around Thanksgiving, we wind
up cleaning it all up.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Okay, Now, those new hybrid ones, the northern ones or whatever.
Will those get bananas, because I've got bananas on the booze,
the Massa bouja or whatever I mean, Will those get
them or not?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
They can, But again it goes back to the temperatures
and the length of time. And we saw we've seen
those flower a couple times. We've seen a couple clumps
of bananas. Of course can't ripen because it don't last
long enough, right, But we have seen him happen. That
happen a couple of times on him where it's been
really hot in the summertime longer into the season and
(33:10):
the fall season, we have gotten a few flowers, a
few bananas.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
Right, Okay, that's just cool to say.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Oh yeah, oh absolutely yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Okay, Well, thank you, Ron, I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
We're talking yardening. Eight hundred eight two three eight two
five five. I have a tip you'd like to share
or a question for us. I'd love to talk to
you again. Eight hundred eight two three eight two five
five To Cleveland we go, Rick, Good morning, Good morning, Ron.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yes, sir, I'm doing great. How about yourself?
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Good?
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Good?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
I have what I believe is a grub problem just
about every morning. I got a big raccoon that regularly
visits me about five thirty every morning and is trashing
my lawn. And I mean it looks I'll have like
a twenty four inch area that looks like it was
turned over with a shovel.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
And I have applied grub back in May, but this
is something that just popped up in the last few weeks. Yeah,
is there anything this time of the year that would
be effective?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
You know, the thing of it is the grubs as
the temperatures start to cool down, and you know, there's
always a few grubs in Law. And even if you
use the grub preventers in the in May and you
water them in and they do really well, you'll still
get a few grubs here and there. It just happens,
and somehow raccoons and skunks are able to come through
there and they start digging down. Now they'll go for
(36:32):
other things too, they'll eat earthworms, and they'll other eat
other insects that they can find, but they love those grubs.
Later in the summer and early fall season, and this
year they've been running the grubs that were a little
bit later than usual. But nevertheless, as the temperatures cool down,
the grubs start to move down into the soil, so
they get deeper and deeper, so you know, they're finding
a few grubs that are there enough to make them
(36:54):
continue to dig and and and tear that up for you.
So to go in there and use a true grub
killer that would say, twenty four hour grub kill could
be used if you find them up closer to the surface.
But if they've gone down three or four inches into
the ground, it's too late. They've already gotten too deep.
(37:15):
You know, it's not going to be very effective. And
the kicker is right now, Rick is if you did
that today and it killed them tomorrow, they're still there
and the raccoons and the skunks will still go after them,
you know, until they start to break down and they
can't find them anymore. So at this stage in the game,
we typically don't do too much as far as grub killers.
(37:36):
You could do a little bit in the springtime if
you want to, or just come back with your grub
prevener like you did, and I'd probably maybe back it
off and do it more like about the first of
June rather than in May. Sometime in June sort of
last a little bit longer for you, and make sure
you get it watered in well. So what do you
do at this point? A couple of things I suggest
and they usually work fairly well. There's a product out
(37:58):
there called mill organite, and mill organite is an all
natural fertilizer. You can use it in your yard and
garden and landscape and it has a yeasty smell to it,
and they don't like that at all. And we've gone
in areas where the grubs, you know, the coons and
the skungs have started to dig and put that down.
(38:19):
Not only does it help to feed the area and
feed the lawn, but they stop digging because they don't
like the smell. And it does work. It's fairly effective,
So it does work very well. Watered in the other
is if you take like erosion netting, that plastic netting
and just stretch it or burd netting across the area
where they're digging. Obviously they're not going to do that
either because they can't. They hate messing with that nylon netting.
(38:41):
And that'll get a moving moving on to some other
area and get out of your yard. And then it's
a matter of you know, kind of raking cleaning that up.
You might have to put a little soil back in
there a little bit, do some dormant seeding and get
that grass to grow back up in the springtime. It's
not gonna do anything now obviously back up in the spring,
but mill organ as a repellent or the netting over
(39:03):
the top and anchor it down so they can't pull
it up. And then, like I say, do some dormant
cleanup on that dormant seating, get it ready to go
so it comes up in the springtime, and then use
your grub preventer more into June rather than into Maso'll
they usually last about ninety days rick, and that'll carry
you June July and August or mid June, mid July,
(39:24):
mid July, mid August and into early September. If you
do it a little bit later and you're not gonna
miss anything by doing it mid to We can even
do it first of July if you want it to.
But I like to look I like to look at
about mid June.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
I might give the mill organite a try. I mean
that can be used as a fall feeding also good.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Oh, absolutely, it's a great fall fertilizer. You can use
it around your trees. As a matter of fact, they
don't label it as a as a critter repellent. But
we've also had good success like putting that around the
base of trees and seeing deer get repelled by smelling
the mill organite and moving on.
Speaker 6 (40:01):
Okay, that's a good trip. I'm going to give that
a try, and I thank you for your health.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
My pleasure. Let me know how it turns out for you.
Dick from Dayton, Good morning morning.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I am good?
Speaker 4 (40:11):
In you?
Speaker 7 (40:12):
Well? I entertained. It was nice this week. You know
the Halloween kids. They had activities and they had a
lot of music and celebration and costumes and it was
kind of nice.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
You know, now, when you were a kid, Dick, what
did you dress up as can you remember, because way
back then I didn't have costumes. We just found the
old clothes.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
And yeah, I think I just had old clothes.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Yeah, that's yes. We did, just old clothes and hats
and had old goofy and stuff, a pillow in your front.
Speaker 7 (40:46):
Yeah. It was nice. The kids were talking and everything
and so well, you know something I predicted my I
said that I think the big bulls are going to win.
But last week I don't know what happened to him,
do you?
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Yeah, the defense didn't show up. No, pretty soon there
was any defense. All right. Now, we got to get
a quick prediction from you. You got one more game in
the World Series.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
Blue Jays Toronto to win.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
You want Toronto to win? Good for you, all right.
So so Dick from Dayton saying it's the Blue Jays
all the way.
Speaker 7 (41:22):
Yep, they got it, all right.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Sounds good to meet got all right, we'll good talking
with you as usual, and we will talk to you
next Saturday.
Speaker 7 (41:31):
Okay, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Hey you too, good talking with you, Dick from Dayton.
Right there, ladies and gentlemen, by the way, coming up
there next, We've got three special guests today coming up
starting in our next hour the top of the hour,
Ron rothis is sort of our our arbist, certified arbist
and hobby meteorologists is gonna join us. We're gonna talk
a little bit about well, they're talking a little bit
about the trees. What's if you're doing right now, And
we're gonna get a summary on his trip to Australia
(41:55):
and New Zealand. He got to ride a camel, I
want to know about that. But he was there for
a reason. He learned, he was a well i'll let
him tell you, but learning about new research about tree
health and things like that, and he came back with
some very interesting new information which he will share with us,
coming up in the next half hour. Then, you know,
in the springtime, we talked a lot about using wool
(42:17):
sheep's wool that gets thrown away every year as a
soil amendment, as a fertilizer, as a repellent, and we're
using it more and more in the gardens than containers. Well,
we're gonna get an update. We're gonna get an update
from Albert Wilde, who's been doing this for a long
long time. And then after Albert, while we're gonna check
in with the woolets we had on in the springtime.
It's all happening here in the garden with Ron Wilson, Green,
(42:46):
tom or not.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Ron can help at one eight hundred eighty two three
Talk and they say it's in the garden with Ron Wilson.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
The SA
Our toll free number eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five. Good morning. I am Ron Wilson, your
personal yard boy. We're talking about yarding, saying goodbye to October,
Hello November. Can you believe that? Did you have a
great Halloween? We did. We got the grandson's up and
out and going and doing your thing. And I'll tell
(00:58):
you what we were at. We were at their house
at the beginning, and we left and went to our
house for the last half hour forty five minutes. I
have never seen that many trigger treaters at both locations
than what I saw last night. Kind of brought back
old memories when you know everybody used to get out
and do that. It seemed like everybody had the fire
(01:19):
pit going into fireplaces there in the driveways and things
all set up, and the inflatables and the decorations, and
tons and tons of parents and kids out walking the streets.
I think that's a great thing. I mean, I was excited.
As a matter of fact, we left our daughters. They
(01:40):
were running out of candy and they hadn't gotten into
it forty minutes into the whole thing. So crazy, But
it was great seeing all the people out and doing
their thing. I tell you it's amazing how Halloween is
now rival ring rival ringing Christmas when it comes to
decorationsreal I think I've seen some things this year with
(02:03):
lights and the blow ups and all the things that
are out there. I mean, it's crazy. But anyway, if
that's what you get into, have at it. I guess.
But it was I don't know, it just made me
feel I just felt like, you know, it was good.
People were having a good time out with the kids,
gathering up the candy and enjoying it. So I hope
(02:26):
everybody had a great evening. I knew our grandkids did,
and they came back with way too much candy. But
I've made a deal, and their dad's out of town
for the week. I said, you know that the Almond Joys,
Grandpa really likes those. So if you get any of
those small almond joys, and I know your dad likes
them too, but you know, just once you pull those
aside for Grandpa, and then when your dad gets back
(02:48):
in a week from his business trip, just tell him
you know you didn't get any Almond Joys. I mean,
you know, well you know he kind of didn't, didn't
you know Grandpa took him. Maybe I don't know, but anyway,
ask them the same for Grandpa. So we'll see if
I wind up with anyone, oh joys or not. Wow, anyway,
it's a fall. Can you believe that we are so
(03:12):
delayed this year? But in our area, in our area,
and it was dry and we've had a couple of
timely rainfalls. It's warm late. But this week, this week,
fall colors absolutely have exploded. It's going to be a
quicker fall, I think than usual. But it's amazing that
(03:36):
we could see about you know, you've seen, we've seen
things kind of creeping into some fall color, especially the
red maples, the the you know asier rubrims. We're seeing
those getting some colt color. Burning bush had not even
started to turn red yet ten days ago in our area.
You know, just nothing. It's so nice and green and
a few things here and there, and a lot of
(03:57):
drought color with the yellows and brown and things like that.
But actual good oranges and bright yellows and reds and
maroons are now happening. And I mean it's just exploded
with color. Especially the red maples. Unreal, they stand out
like a sore thumb right now. And I tell you
(04:19):
that's when we talk about planting trees and the course,
finding the right tree for the right location most important obviously,
but then you look at the other factors when it
comes to the siding, which one specifically, if you're looking
at an option of trees for that particular location, looking
at the other benefits of the trees for four season,
(04:40):
you know, characteristics to it, does it flower in the springtime,
you know what kind of fall colors. I still think
fall color is more important than the spring color. I
think fall colors typically last longer than spring colors, and
they're certainly like with these maples, absolutely more spectacular is
(05:00):
just phenomenal. What we're seeing right now. But again, burning bush,
nice reds. We're seeing the tupelos starting to get some
good reds and the maple starting to get good reds.
We're even starting this ash trees. But few ash trees
that have been protected or somehow survived through the emerald
ash board in our area. Uh, you know, the white
(05:21):
ash showing showing great to the maroons, yellows to maroons,
and of course the green ash showing the yellows, and
that's typically one of those trees that colors up way
earlier in the fall season, but now they all seem
to kind of do it at the same time. But
again just spectacular. And now looking at the oaks, which
typically are later after everything's done, now also starting to
(05:45):
show the yellows and the oranges and into some maroon
colors as well. Sugar maples, Norway maples starting to show
their yellows and oranges for fall colors as well. So
really starting to see it right now. I think it's
the rainfall we had this week was great, was outstanding,
and hopefully you got it in your area. It was
(06:07):
so you know, it came in and it soaked. We
we got some pretty good penetration with water. But again,
make sure you're checking the rain gage in your area.
Talk about you know, it's how important fall watering is.
Make sure that that rainfall that came through, uh, you know,
I still look at it kind of as a bonus.
But in our area what we got was a soaker.
We got some pretty good penetration, but again build on that,
(06:31):
especially the evergreens, especially the evergreens, And again I watched
a video. We have several nurses around the state. Larger
growth nurses that grow plants for other garden centers, other nurseries,
things like that, and they walk every week and talk
and look at some of the plants, and they show
you the videos of what's available and what it looks like,
(06:52):
et cetera, et cetera. And the last couple of weeks
one of the ones that they do a really good job.
I've really started to stress now how important it is
if you have planted any evergreen this fall, summer, spring,
or last year or the last couple of years, and
you get into any type of a dry situation whatsoever,
(07:15):
how important it is to keep those watered as needed.
And when we're talking watered as needed, we're talking soaking
thoroughly rootball, immediate root ball and soil around it, thorough soaking,
close to drying out, give it time to kind of
breathe a little bit, and then soak it again. How
important that is to carry that right through the fall season.
(07:36):
And this week specifically said especially you folks who have
planted arbor viting, and you know, we love the arbor vity,
all the different varieties, the green giants, the spring groves,
the you know, emerald greens, any of the selections and
there are so many great selections out there. And now
(07:57):
with the box tree moth issues that we're having people
replacing boxwood using some of the arborviti that grow more
in a globular shape, but any evergreen in general, but
arbravity especially, how important it is again to keep the
moisture to those plants, especially the newly planted ones, especially
(08:18):
the newly planted ones as we go through the fall season,
and specifically brought that up. And it's so important. So
even the wholesalers who are growing these things, reminding other
wholesalers to tell their customers and if they buy from them,
and like you know, have them in a healing area
or whatever to keep them watered as we go through
(08:38):
this fall season. How important that really is. So again,
please do that, keep up with it right now with
arbravity and many of the evergreens, you are seeing that
inner needle drop internedle drop where we get into the
fall season and we get the fall color from the leaves,
we also get some inner needle fall color from the evergreens.
Not all of them do this, most of them do
(09:00):
for our area. There are several that will do it
in the springtime rather than in the fall, and if
it's a spruce like blue spruce Norway spruce, the spruce
typically hold on to needles from about three years and forward,
all right, but past that they will shed those and
then that's typically back inside the plant, so you don't
(09:22):
notice it quite as much. But when you look at
pines who can lose everything up to this year's growth,
and they're longer and they turn the bright yellow, and
or the arbra vide who just really sheds hard on
the inside yellows and browns, and of course the drought
issue and all that that can scare the heck out
of you, there's no doubt about it. And again it's
(09:45):
just normal fall needle drop and situations, whether it's really dry,
depending on the evergreen, the temperatures, et cetera, etc. Can
all affect how severe that can be. But as long
as you look and they're only dropping needles, yellowing and
all to the inside of the plant, nothing to the outside,
(10:07):
you should be good to grow, all right, You should
be good to grow. Nevertheless, it's a good sign to
make sure you get in there and water. And you
know what I like to tell folks, if it's really
bugging you, when you see it like you're pulling the
driveway and you see these the yellow in that or
you're looking out at the window. Take the garden hose
out there with a strong stream of water. Get the
host thing on the end of the dram dram hose
of the revolution revolver spray, turn it to the really
(10:33):
hard spray and just flush the inside of those evergreens out.
Flush them out. Make those needles drop, make those arbravity.
You drop all those needles right down to the base.
Let them lay around the base of the tree. That's great.
Flush them out that way. You don't see it, but
you know what you're doing. At the same time you're
watering the plant, so you know, again, do that flush
(10:53):
it out. But if it's needles drop on the inside
of the plant, not to the edges of the of
the of the branches, you s'll be good to grow.
If it's continuing on to the edges of the branches,
you got another issue. But again point being gota water
and the other point being great fall colors in our
area right now, because it is absolutely exploded in colors
(11:16):
and it's spectacular. So what's gonna happen after all this
needs are and as the needles start to drop, the
leaves are gonna start to drop as well. We'll talk
about dropping leaves, we'll talk about fall color, we'll talk
about still planting. We'll talk about why Joe Strecker's not
here this morning. He's got the morning off, so no
cup of Joe. It's just you and me and Danny
talking yardning and.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
A water got the day off too.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And then we'll talk about the water, and we'll talk
about our website and a whole bunch more after the break.
Here in the Garden with Ron Wilson.

Welcome back here in the garden with Ron Wilson again.
That toll free number would be eight hundred eight two

three eight two five five. Website is Ron Wilson online
dot com. Unfortunately, my computer and this is this is
one of those mornings you know where it's just like
almost everything just not working exactly right now.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Your computer's not working, the computer's not working. No water
in the building, no.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Water in the building. Didn't tell anybody.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No tell anybody about it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And a six story tower building. Uh, we all get
it this morning looking for coffee, and of course you
got the bathrooms and all, and there's no water, so
I guess it's out for the whole weekend. But failed
to say anything. So we'll we'll manage, we'll make it, Dan,
we'll get through it. But anyway, go to our website.
It's lots of postings this week. Ron Wilson online dot com.
(15:20):
You'll see Rita's recipe. Uh. And it's a great recipe,
by the way. Uh, it's a it's a good just
in time for the holiday season, candied pecans and walnuts,
and of course you can use any kind of nuts
here and it's uh, it's I've had these before. She
makes these. These candy nuts are absolutely outstanding. And again
the thing remember about Rita's recipes is that they're always
(15:43):
very simple, very easy to do. And this is one
of those things, you know, just as we start to
get into the uh you know, a little party here,
in a little party there, and you have to bring
something to uh to share. These homemade candy nuts, you
can do a whole bunch of them. They store really well,
and then take these to the parties and you will
be a hit of the party, but it's Rita's. Hi,
(16:04):
Rita Eckenfeldt's recipe of the week candied nuts, and she
did the candied pecans and walnuts, but you can do
whatever nuts you'd like to use to candy them. And
you'll find that recipe at ron Wilson online dot com.
And don't forget Rita's website as well, at about eating
dot com. And of course last night was an important
night for Rita. We kid her about that have been
(16:26):
forever since I've known Rita. Used to always introduce her
as a part time witch doctor and maker of strange potions.
And we're kind of quit doing that, you know why,
because we had some folks saying can email hers, say
can you make a potion for this? Are you really
a part time So we kind of got away from
But anyway, you still call her about flying around on
(16:46):
the Halloween night and all the different brooms that she's
written over the years. She's such a fun person to
talk with that we have so much fun. Everybody loves Rita,
no doubt about it. But check out our recipe for
candy nuts. And this is, like, I say, good one
for going into the holiday season. Now, I was talking
earlier before the break about leaves are going to right
now have just exploded in our area. Reds are outstanding,
(17:11):
especially the red maples. Burning bush just went. Burning bushes
went from a good dark green to red crazy. Oh
and you know one of the other ones I noticed
last night and some we have a tentiony to forget about.
This one for fall color is Japanese maples. You know,
you get a Japanese a red Japanese maple, and the
(17:33):
green ones give a good fall color as well, but
the red Japanese maples, right, you get to this time
of the year and we've had those red leaves all
summer long. Nice red stands out beautiful, and you know
there's different tones, different shades of the reds. But as
they get into the fall color, that maroon within that
leaf seems to disappear. And the sugars that caused these
(17:58):
brighter reds and all the different colors they start to
stand out now in these leaves. So with a Japanese maple,
with most of them, as we get into the fall season,
the maroon starts to disappear and a brighter red starts
to come to the surface of the leaf, and man
(18:18):
they can be spectacular. Again, I saw one last night
at one of my daughter's neighbor's house and just really
starting to make that change. And again we kind of
forget about that. We buy it for the ornamental value,
the shape, the bark, the leaves, all of that, and
of course the good color during the growing season, but
we have a tendency to forget what a great fall
(18:39):
color it can be. It's a totally different red than
that maroonish or that purplish red that you get during
the growing season. So keep those in mind as well
as a matter of fact, as you're driving around. If
you've got fall color in your neighborhood right now, take
a look at the trees and shrubs that are given
you a good fall color and make a note. If you're
(19:01):
not sure what they are, ask the pull in. Folks
love it when you ask about the plants or take
a picture of it. Email them to me and I
can typically identify. Give me something up close. Some folks
send me some pictures from way far away and I
just can't blow them up enough to see what it is.
But if you get a picture of the leaf and
the overall plant, a lot of times most of the
(19:21):
time we can identify it for you. But again, take
a look around the neighborhoods right now, look at the
fall colors that are out there. And I think personal
opinion that when you you know, if it comes down
to know what other characteristics do I like about my
options of trees for a particular area, I take fall color.
It lasts, typically, lasts longer, typically brighter than spring colors,
(19:45):
and just really a great way to close out the
end of the season, I think. Anyway, now, as I
said earlier, oh by the way, my plant pick of
the week Ginko, and we that's on our website at
Ginko also although it was spelled wrong on there, but nevertheless,
we'll talk about gigk when we come back. And those

Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, we didn't do any candy or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay, but I don't know if you notice any out there.
Just seemed like more than I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (22:48):

We can't go to the bathroom and all.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
If you go down nine floors, we can.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Good luck with that. Yeah, I hope you make it
down in the back during the during the break, the
three minute break. Any anyway, feel sorry for us yet
I didn't think so I do. Okay, I'm glad talking
about you, yarady at eight hundred eight two three eight
two five five and talking about the leaves and all.
My pick of the week this week is my second
most favorite tree Japanese the green leaf, green cut leaf,
(23:41):
Japanese maple right there that I love those plants as well,
that's the green leaf. But this is my definitely my
I'll put it there. It's at number two, and that's
the ginko tree. And what's fun about ginko trees. There's
such a great history here. You got it. And it's
not a native obviously, but you got to go back
and read the history about ginkos sometime. But ginko by
(24:02):
a lot. But by the way, on our website romosalonline
dot com, it is spelled wrong on the front there
and then we'll get that change. It's g I n
K geo. But you know, great history there a couple
things really, you know, and everybody if you know anything
about trees, you recognize the ginko because it has that
fan shaped leaf very distinct. It is one of the
(24:23):
oldest plants, older than the dinosaurs. It's the species known
as a living fossil. You know, I supposedly was here
before the dinosaurs even roamed the earth. So pretty cool tree.
I think a bunch of arbists were asked many years ago,
if you know, fifty years from now, if there was
only one tree that was going to be left with
all the things were going through out there today, what
(24:43):
would be that one tree you would predict? And most
of them said the ginko because it is it's tough
and durabled. Hey been arounsance before the dinosaurs. But they
typically all give you a good yellow to golden yellow
fall color. And when these things go into color with
that golden yellow again, I've been using the words spectacular
(25:06):
all morning because of the good reds and all that
we're getting in our area right now. This is really
cool and these these leaves, what's fun about the ginko tree?
And I saw some newer plant ones that were already
starting to lose some of the leaves, but the established
trees what's interesting about these is that when they started,
they start to turn to yellow. It's very spectacular and
it looks really nice, and some con vary and getting
(25:28):
a little bit more of a gold into the deeper
gold into the leaf. But they seem to stay on
the tree for a fair amount of time, so they
just hang on to them a fuel start to drop
here and there, but then when they drop, they drop.
So they all drop. And so when you get you know,
you get right into the right you know, you just
peak color, peak color, and all of a sudden they
(25:50):
just drop and it's like a two day thing, three
day thing, and they're all on the ground. And when
they hit the ground, they make this golden blanket around
the bottom of the tree. And again this goes into
the history of the tree as far as why they
do that, you know, creating this blanket for the queen
the ginko and all of that. But anyway, it is
(26:12):
really spectacular and it's a really good look, very cool.
So again check it out. And there are so many
different types of ginkos available. There so many different selections
that you probably could find a ginko dwarf standard little
round balls trees that get the narrow and upright, and
it's a big tree. So if you use a get
a regular ginko by Loba, we're talking, give it plenty
(26:36):
of room. Not very fast growing, we give it plenty
of room. And also make sure that when you're buying
these that you check with the nursery or the local
garden center where they're selling them, and make sure that
they are all male selections, that they are sterile, that
they do not produce nuts. The nut that comes off
of this plant, the fleshy, the flesh the around the
(27:00):
outside of that nut is horrible in smell. It smells
like a combination of dog poop, skunk and something else.
It's bad. You get it on your shoes, it's bad.
And they can produce a lot of nuts. Now the
nut itself is actually considered uh gourmet in some of
(27:20):
the Asian countries. But you got to get all that
flesh off the top of it first, and you got
to cook the nuts and the hold on yards. It's
not fun, all right. It smells horrible, So make sure
that when you are buying them you are not getting
a female selection, that you're getting stale or male selections.
All right, But again you'll find uh prime, you know,
(27:41):
different types for one spot in your yard. Truly one
of the coolest trees I've seen, with a great history
behind it. Again, you can check it out on our
website at Ron Wilson online dot com. Ron in Cincinnati, Ron,
Good morning, not too bad.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Good They got a question on I got several banana
trees in my backyard and I've had them for years
and just had a question about win arising them. Sometimes
I do okay with them and other times. But my
main question is is a lot of people cut them
to the ground. I try not to. Does that well
that help them get taller or not? I mean, I've
bubble wrapped them before, and I mean, am I just
(28:17):
wasting my time?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Are you what you're doing is bubble wrapping this single
trunk that's coming up out of the ground probably what
three feet off the ground or so. Do you notice
that when you do that? Does anything come out of
that trunk the next year? Does everything come up as
a puff around the base?
Speaker 5 (28:34):
There's stuff that comes out of it?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Right? There is stuff? Or not? Stuff?
Speaker 5 (28:38):
There is?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Okay? Uh, you know, are you helping yourself out? Yeah?
If you can get that to come through. We don't,
and I say we, I don't do that as a
matter of fact. We'll wait until that thing that you know,
I do the Northern Wonder which is hardy through zone five,
and I'll just let the mother nature freezing, frost whatever
finally knock those things so there's nothing left and just
(29:01):
take them off at the ground and then let those
let the pups come back up in the springtime and
take it from there. Can you wrap them like you are? Absolutely,
and sometimes that happens. The problem you get into sometimes
is if it stays too wet underneath there, they start
to rot and then you lose that thing. So trying
to keep it as dry as you can, that's the key,
(29:22):
you know, wrapping it, keeping it dry, getting the plastic
so it doesn't leak, and keeping it drying. If you
can do that and get that overwintering, yeah, you know,
you do help yourself out a little bit. But the
height of the plant obviously depends on the type of
banana and the season. If we can get off to
an earlier season, warms up earlier, soil temperatures warm earlier,
and lasts longer, we'll get more height out of them
(29:44):
this year. Trying to think ours by our sign at
the nursery, probably got about ten feet tall or so.
Probably some of the high school we've seen so far,
we've had them a little bit higher than that. But
you know, again they were very late coming up this
year because of the cooler soil temperatures, so that'll that'll
affect them also. But yeah, if you can keep that dry,
(30:05):
it does help, you know. Yeah, you get a little
bit bigger tree out of that one, and then the
pups continue to come around the outside.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Okay, so the height doesn't really you know, matter is
too much unless you get it to come out of
that stem.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeap, I think, yeah, get it out of that stem.
And again weather is going to be the big dictator.
How quick can I get it to come out? Get
it to come along, you know. And sometimes when you
buy those that we've been growing like in a greenhouse
so that they're already starting to you know, get some
size to them, you know, they'll come on and give
you some heights more at the end of the season.
So it just shows you the earlier, the longer the
(30:41):
season we can get out of that, the more heights
we're going to get out of them.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
As well right, so, I mean, and our seniors over there,
and they've told me that they cut them all the
way to the ground, so it's just a matter just
maulting them.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I mean, we don't do it.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
They have to mean, how do you keep how do
you keep those dry?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Or we don't We don't we on the puffs all
coming back up, We don't do anything. I'll tell you
that thing is the easiest. We wait till it just
looks like heck, so it's all brown, all laying all
over the place, go out there and just cut it
off the ground, fluff up the mault around the top
of it. We don't add any wultz to it. Just
let it do its thing. And then in the springtime
as it warms up, it comes right back up again.
(31:19):
And you can see that thing. Is that the diameter
of that from the single plant that was planted ten
years ago, that thing is now about twelve feet in diameter,
fifteen feet in diameter with all those puffs that come
up every year.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Wow, I sounds like I'm going after work.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, you know again, some folks will do that and
it does work. But if it starts to get wet
in there, then you kind of lost everything anyway, and
you just count on the puffs today.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
I got it. I got a couple of those those
northern ones this year from over there.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yea.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
And they're pretty hardy.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Right, they're tough, man, I tell you you're looking at it.
We try to we tried it. That's the parent plant
from when that was first propagated, and we try to
do nothing to it just to prove how hardy it is.
So we just let it do its thing, besides us
cutting off the tops when it's all and again, we
let mother nature freeze it, frost it, do everything to
(32:10):
it until it looks nasty, and then take it off
and leave it alone.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Okay, so I didn't Did I make a minor I
already cut mine? Did I make a mistake?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
No? No, you no, you can do it earlier. But again,
you know, the longer we leave them on there, the
more energy is putting back into that root system. Again,
but can you take them off now? Absolutely, that's that's
not an issue. But we again, but we just let
let them, let mother nature do it and clean it
up at the toward the usually around Thanksgiving, we wind
up cleaning it all up.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Okay, Now, those new hybrid ones, the northern ones or whatever.
Will those get bananas, because I've got bananas on the booze,
the Massa bouja or whatever I mean, Will those get
them or not?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
They can, But again it goes back to the temperatures
and the length of time. And we saw we've seen
those flower a couple times. We've seen a couple clumps
of bananas. Of course can't ripen because it don't last
long enough, right, But we have seen him happen. That
happen a couple of times on him where it's been
really hot in the summertime longer into the season and
(33:10):
the fall season, we have gotten a few flowers, a
few bananas.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
Right, Okay, that's just cool to say.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Oh yeah, oh absolutely yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Okay, Well, thank you, Ron, I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
We're talking yardening. Eight hundred eight two three eight two
five five. I have a tip you'd like to share
or a question for us. I'd love to talk to
you again. Eight hundred eight two three eight two five
five To Cleveland we go, Rick, Good morning, Good morning, Ron.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yes, sir, I'm doing great. How about yourself?
Speaker 6 (35:33):
Good?
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Good?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
I have what I believe is a grub problem just
about every morning. I got a big raccoon that regularly
visits me about five thirty every morning and is trashing
my lawn. And I mean it looks I'll have like
a twenty four inch area that looks like it was
turned over with a shovel.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
And I have applied grub back in May, but this
is something that just popped up in the last few weeks. Yeah,
is there anything this time of the year that would
be effective?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
You know, the thing of it is the grubs as
the temperatures start to cool down, and you know, there's
always a few grubs in Law. And even if you
use the grub preventers in the in May and you
water them in and they do really well, you'll still
get a few grubs here and there. It just happens,
and somehow raccoons and skunks are able to come through
there and they start digging down. Now they'll go for
(36:32):
other things too, they'll eat earthworms, and they'll other eat
other insects that they can find, but they love those grubs.
Later in the summer and early fall season, and this
year they've been running the grubs that were a little
bit later than usual. But nevertheless, as the temperatures cool down,
the grubs start to move down into the soil, so
they get deeper and deeper, so you know, they're finding
a few grubs that are there enough to make them
(36:54):
continue to dig and and and tear that up for you.
So to go in there and use a true grub
killer that would say, twenty four hour grub kill could
be used if you find them up closer to the surface.
But if they've gone down three or four inches into
the ground, it's too late. They've already gotten too deep.
(37:15):
You know, it's not going to be very effective. And
the kicker is right now, Rick is if you did
that today and it killed them tomorrow, they're still there
and the raccoons and the skunks will still go after them,
you know, until they start to break down and they
can't find them anymore. So at this stage in the game,
we typically don't do too much as far as grub killers.
(37:36):
You could do a little bit in the springtime if
you want to, or just come back with your grub
prevener like you did, and I'd probably maybe back it
off and do it more like about the first of
June rather than in May. Sometime in June sort of
last a little bit longer for you, and make sure
you get it watered in well. So what do you
do at this point? A couple of things I suggest
and they usually work fairly well. There's a product out
(37:58):
there called mill organite, and mill organite is an all
natural fertilizer. You can use it in your yard and
garden and landscape and it has a yeasty smell to it,
and they don't like that at all. And we've gone
in areas where the grubs, you know, the coons and
the skungs have started to dig and put that down.
(38:19):
Not only does it help to feed the area and
feed the lawn, but they stop digging because they don't
like the smell. And it does work. It's fairly effective,
So it does work very well. Watered in the other
is if you take like erosion netting, that plastic netting
and just stretch it or burd netting across the area
where they're digging. Obviously they're not going to do that
either because they can't. They hate messing with that nylon netting.
(38:41):
And that'll get a moving moving on to some other
area and get out of your yard. And then it's
a matter of you know, kind of raking cleaning that up.
You might have to put a little soil back in
there a little bit, do some dormant seeding and get
that grass to grow back up in the springtime. It's
not gonna do anything now obviously back up in the spring,
but mill organ as a repellent or the netting over
(39:03):
the top and anchor it down so they can't pull
it up. And then, like I say, do some dormant
cleanup on that dormant seating, get it ready to go
so it comes up in the springtime, and then use
your grub preventer more into June rather than into Maso'll
they usually last about ninety days rick, and that'll carry
you June July and August or mid June, mid July,
(39:24):
mid July, mid August and into early September. If you
do it a little bit later and you're not gonna
miss anything by doing it mid to We can even
do it first of July if you want it to.
But I like to look I like to look at
about mid June.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
I might give the mill organite a try. I mean
that can be used as a fall feeding also good.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Oh, absolutely, it's a great fall fertilizer. You can use
it around your trees. As a matter of fact, they
don't label it as a as a critter repellent. But
we've also had good success like putting that around the
base of trees and seeing deer get repelled by smelling
the mill organite and moving on.
Speaker 6 (40:01):
Okay, that's a good trip. I'm going to give that
a try, and I thank you for your health.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
My pleasure. Let me know how it turns out for you.

You know, now, when you were a kid, Dick, what
did you dress up as can you remember, because way
back then I didn't have costumes. We just found the
old clothes.

and had old goofy and stuff, a pillow in your front.

and so well, you know something I predicted my I
said that I think the big bulls are going to win.
But last week I don't know what happened to him,

was any defense. All right. Now, we got to get
