Speaker 1 (00:33):
Talking yarding at eight hundred eight two three eight two
five five.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy. You know
we always talk in our show every week talking about
be e eing friendly in your garden and pollinator polite.
And if you live in our area, in the southwestern
Ohio Cincinnati area, I've got a great way for you
to help out the bees by planting a tree for
the bees. And here to tell us a little bit
(00:57):
more about this special promotion because they've teamed up with
a local brewery, Mad Tree Brewery, which is an excellent brewery.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
They are a woody warehouse in Indiana which grows native plants.
He's been on our show before, a friend of the show.
Good having him back with us. I'm not sure it's
early in the morning. He's pretty sassy early in the morning,
but he is a sales and marketing manager for Woody Warehouse.
Ladies and gentlemen, mister Bill Debor, Good morning, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Good morning, mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Have we had coffee.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
We're getting there, so I apologize if my widowisms are
a little muted this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You're wittwicisms. The Woody Woody Wittow citizens there you go.
All right, So we obviously at Woody Warhouse, and you've
been on our show before talking about the importance of
planting natives and what it takes to propagate natives and
get those out there and all that you go through,
and it's always fun talking with you. But you're taking
(01:54):
this a step further. You've teamed up here locally, and
of course you could do this anywhere around the country,
but you've teamed up with us locally here in the
Cincinnati area with one of our breweries, which is outstanding,
Mad Tree Brewery. And I understand you're giving away some
free trees for the bees.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I mean as we kind of, as you said, expand
and look for new opportunities. It was a wonderful partnership that.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Kind of came together quickly.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Steve Foltz with the Cincinnati Zoo was kind of the mediator.
And then Mad Tree Brewing, who we've done a few
things here or there over the past, but what a
wonderful establishment. They grew a few pretty good beer.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well, you know, what if plants are involved in beer
or would be involved, you know, the golden finger, Steve
Folts has to be involved.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well, that's about the only thing that will make him
descend from this throne. So I guess that was my
brainchild's put plants.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Good for together. I love it. So anyway, so you're
gonna be so we're going to give away some trees.
And this what a great and of course, of all
the native trees that you have picked out that you're
going to give away at the two locations of Mattree
Brewery here in Cincinnati, which one did you pick?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
So we went with black gum nissoslovatica, which is probably
arguably my favorite native tree. Such a wonderful what I
refer to as small to medium canopy tree, sixty to
eighty feet tall at maturity twenty to thirty foot spread.
But just you want to talk about a beautiful street tree,
(03:37):
urban landscape tree, this one checks a lot of boxes.
The whole bees or trees for bees. This one is
very popular with pollinators. It's not the most ornamental kind
of a yellowish green flowers small, but that doesn't bother
(03:57):
the pollinators. They love it. They're attracted to it happening
around this time ish. But you want to talk about
a tree that you know the branching ninety degrees. Very
interesting architecture to the tree that in itself makes it
kind of unique and unusual.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Follow it up.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
It's a dioecious tree. And I know I'm using big
Purdue words on iran, but separate male female flowers on
the tree. But when you get a female black gum,
it produces a blue droop. The songbirds absolutely love it,
so it's a great food source for them. And then
(04:38):
the piece there resistance is the fall color, which is
kind of a crimson scarlet red. Probably one of my
favorite out of anything out there. It's just absolutely spectacular and.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Beautiful, tough and durable. And by the way, you know,
we had classes at Ohio State to be able to
interpret what you folks and Purdue are saying. I knew
what exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
There, Well, I knew you'd get there wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Love talking with Bill de Bori. He's from Woody Warehouse Again,
great website if you want to learn more about native
plants is Woodywarehouse dot com uh and they're giving away
some free trees for the bees here locally, and it's
a Cincinnati area Mad Tree Brewery. If you're from Ori area,
you know it's a great brewery.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Now you're going to be at both of their locations
right giving away trees.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
So they are great friends. At the Cincinnati Zoo will
be manning the Blue Ash location, and then Steve will
join the Woody Warehouse delegation if you will, and we
will be at the Oakley location. So if you want
to come by and chat with the folks at Woody
Wearhouse and Steve Bolts, the Oakley location will be the
(05:53):
one forgiven.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And that's from four until eight, and it's coming up
this Thursday, June fifth.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Sounds like you got all your information, right, Ron.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well, I gave it. You gave me all the information.
Of course, it's I've got all right information. Did their
job right, you did, You did the right job. And
again it's from four until eight. But it's a first come,
first serve bases. Yeah, I'm assuming it's one tree per person,
that's true.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I mean, we don't want people to walk away with fifteen,
although I'm sure they love that. Yeah, we're doing one
tree per group. They will be uh four to five
foot three gallon tree, beautiful trees starters.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
But yeah, show up early.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
At four, come by support mad Tree brewing talk to
some pretty knowledgeable people, including Seafoults, and uh, it'll be
a great time.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
By the way, I think I have Yeah, I do.
I look at my schedule. I think that I had
that on my schedule too.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Well, you know what to sweeten the deal, I'm gonna
bring my wife, since you know I'll be there, my
better half.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You like her better, I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'll force it and get there.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'll be there. Maybe I can even talk Buggy Joe
Bogs into coming with me.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Hey, the more the merrier.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Now, when you're at Mattree giving away these free trees
for bees on Thursday, June fifth, that's coming up this
Thursday from four until eight. If you wait till eight o'clock,
there may not be any trees left. So i'd get
there early. What do you have a particular from mad
Tree that you enjoy or you just try them all?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You know?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I view myself as an equal opportunity, So depending on
the mood, the temperature, and other factors, will probably make
a selection or two and stay with it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Got it a faults. It doesn't matter as long as
it's cold.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I don't even know that it matters that it's cold.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, that's true, lukewarm. It would work because they's well,
you know, waking up in the morning and a few
left over, and you know all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So anyway, I come early because the trees will be gone,
and who knows, the beers might be gone too.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And they have great food to have, even the one
on Madison there in Oakley. Then the pizzas are outstanding
and the great foods you can eat there as well.
And grab yourself a free black gum tree. And these
are n little bitty seedlings. This is something. This is
a three gallon pots. So you get a little bit
of a tree here to take home and plant. And
by the way, I'll be drinking shade because of the
(08:19):
free trees.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
As long as you're not throwing shade, ron, it'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I with my big fat body, I'll be throwing shade
as well. But shade shade is my favorite. When it
goes to drinking at man treat, I'll treat you to
one as well.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I certainly appreciate it and look forward to it, and
look forward to get to talk to all the great
people Cincinnati.

the folks from a woody warehouse. Steve Folks is going
to be there as well. This is the one in Oakley,
and then all the folks from the Cincinati Botanical Garden
and Zoo will be at the one in Blue Ash.
That's this Thursday, June the fifth, starting at four o'clock,
and you can pick up up your free black gum
tree and enjoy a little bit of a brewing from
(09:04):
Mad Tree as well. I kind of encourage you to
go to the one in Oakley because you want to
meet Bill, and you definitely want to meet his wife.

Gary Sullivan online dot com, Ladies, tell me the one,
the only mister Gary.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Sullivan man, aren't you for happiness?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Is just trying to spread the word.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Spread the word. The sun is out and I'm ready
to rock and roll and I wake up this morning
and all I hear about is Duke Energy raising their
prices twenty five percent to park kill a lot hour.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Twenty five percent.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
That's what's that. That's not doing it from Duke. It's
just you know, in our area. For people listening elsewhere,
maybe you should worry, maybe you should not. I can't
tell you, but it's, uh, the trend continues.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Let's put it that way, you know, with a man
of your age, and I'm starting to you know, I'm
right behind. Uh, it's amazing the prices of everything that's
gone up.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
It is crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Clearly going out to eat. Oh my, yeah, we had
an eight out an establishment right around over by your
house last night, and yeah, I can't believe how they're meant.
It's just like I just sat there and went, you
got to be kidding me.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Oh, let me ask you another question. Could you hear
in the restaurant?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That was the other thing was like, I'm telling you,
is it noisey? Does that just mean? Because I know
you know it's.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Like, well, you know, it's about turning tables, but it's
also about design and so many restaurants. Boy, if you
walk in, you know you got the LVT flooring, or
you got a ceramic tile or you know, hard surfaces,
and then what do you got on the ceiling? Got
exposed duckwork, girders, metal glass tiles I've seen, And it's
(15:23):
a big old echo chamber.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
They had hung a wooden lattice work kind of thing
up in there to try to break it a little bit,
because I was looking at it, but I was thinking
to myself, what else could I if I manage this,
what else would I do to try to cut down
the noise in here?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
It's about a billion things. Yeah, but even if you
took big old cloth drapes and you know, started in
the corners and around the perm room, pulled them to
the center and a big medallion in the center where
you you know, kind of have drapes for the ceiling, Yeah,
could look ornate and be a sound killer. So you're
turning tables, you're charging more money, and they're still struggling,
(16:00):
and it's not as much fun.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You hit it on the head.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And then I got to pay more money for my
air conditioning and.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Heat, yeah, and everything else you'd.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And everything else I do in that.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
So let's wine and cramp a little bit today.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So that, mister Sullivan, is the reason why I'm trying
to be as happy as possible and spreading the word
to stay positive, stay happy, keep smiling good. So there
you go.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I'm proud of you, Thank you so much. I'm just
going to keep anything.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Anything I can do to make you proud of me
or happy is my pleasure.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Well, so grow trees because of the ac you know,
that's one of the big things. In the summertime we've
been haven't had a great need to turn the air
conditioner on. In fact, it has not been on yet,
and that's great.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I bet it has. I bet it has.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Oh when I had a service day, go there you go,
and you're always looking to trip me up.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Just making sure because it has. Because the people, well
then people listen to you would say, well, I thought
Gary said he had a you know, I know, serviced.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
They'll say that line, Gary, that line. Now he's crying
that lion old man. Oh golly, but yeah, shade around
the house. That people don't give trees enough credit. You know,
the coatings industries hustling like crazy about radiant barrier paints
(17:22):
and ceramic paints to create cooler temperatures in your house.
You've been preaching that for what is it now, eight
hundred years or gary?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
You know when people still in ron rothis it makes him.
He just doesn't get it. And I understand that folks
have arbis out to their home to take trees down. Yeah,
because they're tired of the leaves. Yeah, And it's like,
are you kidding me? For all the benefits, all the
other benefits, you know, and you can mow those leaves
back into the turf. I don't want to mess with them.
I don't want to mess with those leaves. It's like,
(17:51):
give me a break.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Well, I told somebody the other day we were talking
about the energy costs on the news. Came out in fact,
it starts tomorrow. By the way, I think it was
a lot great. But you know, when you go camping
and it's in August and it's ninety three degrees, you
don't pitch your ten in an open field. You put
it in the woods.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So that's what I've been doing wrong. No wonder we
couldn't stand inside that everybody wound up sleeping outside.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I mean, think about it, it's like twenty degrees cooler. Yeah,
oh yeah, so I don't know. I don't think we
can talk enough about taking care of our trees properly, pruning,
making sure they're healthy. Yep, you know, because that's going
to keep your houses cool. Then we can talk about
(18:40):
the ventilation and the insulation.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's no different than maintaining your home. You know, in
your budget, you have a budget in that budget to
do things to maintain your home, and within your budget
should have things there to maintain your trees and evergreens
because evergreens are important in the winter time. Sure we're
redirecting the wind and things like that, so both of
those are keep playing. And should in your budget be
something about certified armists coming by every now and then
(19:04):
to check out your trees and evergreens to make sure
they're all good to go, right, inspector or whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Yeah, how many times have we talked about your home
and outdoor living is an extension of your home. Same thing,
outdoor living, outdoor landscaping, that piece of property is all
your home.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, that's it, exactly, bring the indoors outdoors. So thanks
for the great Yeah, thanks for the great news about Duke.
By the way, I appreciate you, no problem. Yeah, So
what are you gonna talk about today besides Duke.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
I think I might whine a little bit about that
I started reading. I didn't really you know, I'm curious
what people were gonna do. I mean, you're not gonna
but you know, like outdoor lighting. You see all the
outdoor lighting. It's beautiful on homes, don't you. Oh yeah,
And a lot of those things. I know they're led
and they but they burned twenty four hours. Do we
need to do that? Is there really much of a
(19:54):
savings there? Biggest savings is probably air conditioning and old
appliances their energy hall newer appliances are about fifty percent
more efficient than the old stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah. And even if, like the new phrase is gonna
cost you fifteen hundred bucks, yeah, in the long run,
that's gonna save you fifteen hundred bucks and probably quicker
than you would imagine.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Last week we talked about battery operated lawnmowers, putting those
big batteries in charging them up here town. I don't
know what that costs either.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
We've got to do some work.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Well, have a great show, and I know you will.
I'll try, all right. Gary Sullivans website, Garysullivan online dot com.

I like that Gary in his trees. Well you get
love that?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What a fanantastic. I'm very serious. You know, we joke

I can't believe you know, I'm sure we're probably how
about that, I.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Said, you do, Joe, I didn't know you joked around.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Well, I do joke around. I think a little bit.
I don't know. Maybe I'm serious, Maybe I'm too serious.
What do you guys think?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't think so, although you can't, although you can
be when necessary.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
When necessary, not often, but often.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I do like it.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
No, the point with that Gary's making with the trees
is absolutely right. We talk about it all the time.
And you know, when you see your your utility bills
going up, it just shows you how important these other
factors can be in trying to keep those costs down
for you by maintaining you know, the trees and the
shade and the winter blocks of the wind in the wintertime,
(24:57):
and thing how how important plants can be.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Well, i'll tell you and you and I've talked about
this before, and I'll be honest. I used to teach
about it.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But wait a minute, you're going to be honest.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I'm being honest. I'm being honest this time. I have
forgotten this and I trees for on eye trees. I
mean that's been around for quite some time. And any
of the listeners just go to your computer type in
ie trees. You don't have to even do the dash's
just I Trees and you'll see this website that comes
(25:30):
up that was I'll developed. I think it was first
developed fifteen well, oh says right here. Since two thousand
and six, the US Force Service, Davy Tree Expert Company,
the Arbor Day Foundation, Urban and Community Forestry Society, our
favorite international societal, Ore Culture, and Casey Trees partnered to
(25:52):
produce this this online evaluation of why trees mattered. And
it's been interesting because years ago I used well back
when we were talking about the impact of the loss
of ash trees, right I think on your on your show,
I would run the eye tree thing and you know,
(26:12):
for a ten ins and a ten inch ash tree,
you know what's going to be the loss and and
that would be maybe helpful and calculating whether a person
should treat the tree or not. I mean, we're dredging
up old times right now. You know it's it's we
would park our model ts and talk about this, right
(26:33):
I have. But you know what I have to tell
you what was really interesting is as I was looking
at it, because I was listening to you and Gary
and thinking, you know, I need to we need to
revisit this because it is a great tool to it's
backed by a lot of great data. It's not just
made up stuff. But on the other hand, you know,
(26:54):
I really like the way Gary just kind of distilled
it right down to one thing to convince people that
trees matter. Well, where do you pitch your tent when
you go camping? And like you, Ron, I've never understood
why I get so dang hot out there in the
middle of that field.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Yeah, and then you wind up sleeping outside. It's like,
why did they bring your tint?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
That's right? Well, and all the you know, all the
insects and them, I'll just like can identify them as
they bite me. They all come swarming at you. But no,
it's it is. I thought that was just a wonderful
you know, uh, sort of an impact statement to say, well,
you're not going to camp out in the middle of
the field unless you're maybe in Nebraska, right.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Well, see, And it was interesting. The more mature you get,
like Gary's much older than either one of us, those
types of those types of wisdom come.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
To you more wisdom. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So that's something we look forward to when we get
his age, that we may have that level of wisdom
as well, I never thought.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Of that, Ron. That is really we're kind of learning
at Gary's knee.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
That's that.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, yeah, you know he's hitting around the campfire.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He's like my much older brother.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Or uncle uncle Gary hold Forth. Yes, I know, well
that's true. I mean for center, for forever we've we've
relied on the wisdom of our elders. You're going to
get in real trouble now, aren't we. Yes. But you know,
it is a great topic because when you you know,
(28:30):
when you are dealing with some of the issues with trees,
and let's face it, you know, with some of the
storms we've had, and you know, things that that that
can cause them to present a challenge. You know, you're right, Ron.
Sometimes you do hear people say, well, you know, I
just don't think it's worth the risk. But at the
end of the day, and and you talk to folks,
(28:51):
for example, in our neck of the woods, a Hyde Park,
you know, that's an older neighborhood right with a lot
of big trees, and you know, you you talk to
folks there and hear the temperature in their house, whereas
where where I live, where you know, Tree Kennethy is
going to take a long time to start shading these houses.
(29:12):
You know, when you're talking in the middle of an
August hot day, which place would you'd rather be? And
I love what you said that. You know, we do
need to look at our trees first as an asset,
not as a liability. And that's been shown numerous times
where the value of of of our home values you
(29:33):
know this ron are directly tied to the landscape around
the home, and so looking at trees as being part
of it. Just like when somebody walks in and loves
your decor, loves the painting in the in your the
paint in your house, it's the same thing when they
drive up and there's a nice shade. And and so
(29:54):
with that said, there you know where I'm heading. There's
there's actually a setup here because what about a month ago,
you know I talked about this. We updated myself and
Amy Stone updated a fact sheet called how and Why
to hire an arborus and it's an Ohio State University
(30:14):
fact sheet and what it does and one reason we
updated it is because you know, you've had Ron rothis
on and talked about this in the past. You have
you have arborous with tremendous expertise, but different levels of
expertise based on what we call credentials or what they
(30:35):
call credentials. And so if you take a look at
what the International Society of a Bora Culture offers now
in terms of professional development and recognition, uh, it's it's
it's very very important because if you step back and
think about it, a lot of the other professions have
the same thing in different ways. I mean, if you
(30:58):
if you wanted to have you know, something done with
your foot, you probably wouldn't go to an eye, ears
and nose specialists, right, it's the same. That's kind of
a stretch. Well, I'm suffering from a sinus detection rod
so everything's kind of focused on my head right now.
But at the end of the day, you know, we
(31:19):
do have these different professional levels. I shouldn't call it
that actually, just as I should just say credentials with
the is A And that's very important because the arbus
must have take an exam, past the exam, and then
even more importantly, they have to maintain a certain number
(31:40):
of CEUs with that credential every year, so they have
to keep up with the training. You know, they have
to prove their professional status and then keep up with
the training. And that's very important when it comes to
working with trees, and so I try to help people
understand that instead of perceiving. You know, when you call
(32:03):
an arbor's, well, they're going to come take your tree down.
I mean, how if you've heard that, ron, I mean,
we still hear it.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
And their goal is to not take your tree down.
It is exactly the opposite, unless unless it needs to come.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Down, exactly. They give a very professional look at it.
But here's what's important, and you said it, you said
it earlier. That is a little bit of maintenance. So
the arbus is your partner in this endeavor obviously to
help maintain your trees. A little bit of maintenance can
go a long way. I've you watched this. I watched it.
(32:41):
You know you'll see a visit and look at an
oak tree before and after, and it's like a good haircut,
which I used to get, you know before when I
had hair, right, a good haircut. You know, we really
shot barbershop.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
He'd come in while I was in the chair, So
what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Well I'd always asked him, ask
a Barbara to give me what you know that he
gave you could you get those flattops? And he just
looked at me like that ship has sailed. Joe.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, sorry, Joe, I haven't done that in a long time.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You know that is funny. I yeah, that is true.
How long ago? What we're going back?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
My wife reminds me how nice it is without having
a flat top.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
So well, there you go.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, well, as long as she's happy, I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
By the way, before we take a break, as long
before we take a break, Ron Roth sent me this
week he's got another certification under his belt. He's now
a prescription pruning qualification certification, so prescription pruning qualification. He
now has that to add to his list of all
the certification.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
My gosh, I'll tell you well, he's going to have
to go off planet if he gets any more certifications.
I don't think there's anything left on earth, right.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, I mean you and I are certified.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Certifiable.
Speaker 1 (34:03):

Speaker 2 (36:39):
I did not. What is it?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
It's a pork tenderloin smothered smothered in sage and presudo.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Oh that is You're right. Throw a little squirrel in there,
and you got something.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
That's got I tell you what that's got to override
squirrel brains and gravy.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Well, I don't know if you got some good Tron.
I mean, I'm starting to get a little hungry right
now we talk about it. Yeah, oh yes, cathead biscuits. Boy,
I'll tell you. I don't know. You know, you know,
if anybody just flipped the radio and they're going to
be taking them, what are these guys? All of these
guys were garden people. What are we talking about? We're
(37:17):
talking about important stuff, aren't we. That's exactly right. Let
me tell you, and we eat pretty good out of
the garden. How do you like that? So I took
off because you know, Gary got me so fired up.
You're all you you're discussion about trees. So what were you
(37:41):
going to talk about today? What were we going to cover?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Camping? And you don't pitch a tent in the middle
of the field.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Or in the middle of a river.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, I learned that. You did learn that.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I was We're going to talk about a couple of things.
I actually had the purse, like leaf structures on hydrangees.
I actually had a couple of those pictures email to
me this week.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Isn't that something that someone did that?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
So I was able to just return your byg L
bulletin and back to them to explain. Tom also had
a bunch of poison hemlock questions. Just so I went
back to twenty twenty four and reprinted that beagle because
that's a big one. It's about five hundred but yes
(38:37):
it is.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Well now we have it in you know, in gold leaf. Yeah,
so you know printed that way. Yes, it's a doorstop
if you don't want to have it on your shelf.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
It's a thick one, but it's got lots of information,
But I've also been sitting that one out as well
for information because poison m block finally starting to not finally,
but really starting to show flowers now and you can
see yeah see it.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Yeah, well, I'll tell you. I got stumped. Well, I
got stumped twice. You stumped me.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
I don't I don't mean to stop if I if
I sent it to you, I'm stumped you.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
So you sent me a picture and yeah, you sent
me a picture of a strange structure on was that?
Was that a Christmas cactus? What was that?
Speaker 5 (39:22):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Blue Holly? I don't did you figure? I mean, I
I'm like you, It's like when I looked at it,
it's like I think I know when I'm looking, but
I wasn't sure. Did you work that out? I described
the listeners of what's happening?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I I know because I had that. I had somebody
send me something a picture of that similar situation, I
don't know, probably five or six years ago. Yeah, and
I did. I couldn't find anything on it. And finally
I found some discussion about some possibly uh issues with
a flower that it did something that you know, they oh,
(40:06):
that it was possibly involved with the flower. But other
than that, I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Well what we're talking about for folks that so we're
in a holly here and it's a it's just like
a brown, massive material that that doesn't look like it
just I mean, it didn't look to me like it
fell off the plant. What I guess you're yeah, it
looked like it was put there.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
And so now one thing, if it's further you know,
if it's further down in the plant. Sometimes we have
different species of ants, particularly in the more southern part
of the United States, that can make little structures. But
you know, it's a I tell you, Ron, I hate
to say it at our age. You know, we have
sisted through so much over the years, and let's face it,
(40:51):
you know that's good experience. I think we have a
good experience. The downside is, you know, sometimes the neuron
that where that information was kept got replaced by by
highlights from the OSU National Championship. That makes sense perfect.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
I say, my memory is like a rolodex. You got
to go through looking at these index cards, you know,
and somehow they get one of that one got tossed out.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Well, you're not going to believe this. This is like
the classic. This was simply a classic, and I should
have there should have been a slam dunker. So this
past week I got a picture of somebody, somebody, I
mean actually for some very nice pictures of mint with
some type of a weird sort of black you know,
(41:43):
infection on the leaf. Looked like, you know, some type
of fungal black you know, sunken areas. Oh it looked awful.
I mean, you wouldn't want to put, you know, make
a mint jewlip out of that. And man, I tell you, ron,
I looked at it and looked at it, and you know,
whatever was going on there, it obviously was in that
other neuron. When Ohio State, you know, won the previous championships,
(42:04):
they got knocked off, you.
Speaker 7 (42:05):
Know, And I honestly really I looked at that for like,
you know, and then all of a sudden, oh, four
line plant bug, right, I talked about this, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
So unfortunately we're when I the last I looked, which
was earlier this week, that long ago, a lot adults
of adults out there. So the four line plant bug,
the name just really describes it. It has four black
lines and three yellow lines going down it's back and
(42:37):
you can. It's a very fast little insect and you
can find on a lot of different things. But the mint,
you know, that's like the classic, isn't it. They just
they look you know, but it only has one generation
per year. And the the the reason it looked like
a disease is these insects have piercing sucking mouth parts.
(42:59):
They inject enzymes to dissolve plant cells and then they
use their mouth parts like soda straws to suck up
the contents of the plant cells, and so you get
these darkened patches. I mean, it really does look like
a fungal infection or bacterial infection leaves, but it's plant
bug damage. And as I said, the downside is there's
(43:21):
only one generation per year, and that's probably upside too.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
That's the upside.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
And we're getting close to coming. Yeah, we're getting close
to coming to the end of the season for them.
So yes, I got it comp twice.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
And they wear a didas so they are fast when
they're moving on that plant, so they're hard to spray.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Even they are they are very fast. I like that.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Joe Bog's always a pleasure. Great information. We'll talk to
you next Saturday.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
You have a great week, Ron, take care of my.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Thanks to all of our colors, thanks our sponsors, Thanks
of course to Daniel Glease and our producer because I'm
Danny and the DURINGO kid. None of the stuff what
happens to Dan. Thank you so much for that you do.
Now do yourself a favor. Get out there and plant
a tree or two or three. Keep planning those native
plants and native selections. Pamper your worms, be friendly, pollinator, polite,
(44:11):
keep the kids involved with gardening, and by all means,
make it the best weekend of your life. See it.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Not Gardening questions.
Speaker 4 (44:25):
Ron has the answers at one eight hundred and eighty
two three Talk You're in the Garden with Ron Wilson
Talking yarding at eight hundred eight two three eight two
five five.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I am Ron Wilson, your personal yard boy. You know
we always talk in our show every week talking about
be e eing friendly in your garden and pollinator polite.
And if you live in our area, in the southwestern
Ohio Cincinnati area, I've got a great way for you
to help out the bees by planting a tree for
the bees. And here to tell us a little bit
(00:57):
more about this special promotion because they've teamed up with
a local brewery, Mad Tree Brewery, which is an excellent brewery.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
They are a woody warehouse in Indiana which grows native plants.
He's been on our show before, a friend of the show.
Good having him back with us. I'm not sure it's
early in the morning. He's pretty sassy early in the morning,
but he is a sales and marketing manager for Woody Warehouse.
Ladies and gentlemen, mister Bill Debor, Good morning, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Good morning, mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Have we had coffee.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
We're getting there, so I apologize if my widowisms are
a little muted this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You're wittwicisms. The Woody Woody Wittow citizens there you go.
All right, So we obviously at Woody Warhouse, and you've
been on our show before talking about the importance of
planting natives and what it takes to propagate natives and
get those out there and all that you go through,
and it's always fun talking with you. But you're taking
(01:54):
this a step further. You've teamed up here locally, and
of course you could do this anywhere around the country,
but you've teamed up with us locally here in the
Cincinnati area with one of our breweries, which is outstanding,
Mad Tree Brewery. And I understand you're giving away some
free trees for the bees.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I mean as we kind of, as you said, expand
and look for new opportunities. It was a wonderful partnership that.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Kind of came together quickly.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Steve Foltz with the Cincinnati Zoo was kind of the mediator.
And then Mad Tree Brewing, who we've done a few
things here or there over the past, but what a
wonderful establishment. They grew a few pretty good beer.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well, you know, what if plants are involved in beer
or would be involved, you know, the golden finger, Steve
Folts has to be involved.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well, that's about the only thing that will make him
descend from this throne. So I guess that was my
brainchild's put plants.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Good for together. I love it. So anyway, so you're
gonna be so we're going to give away some trees.
And this what a great and of course, of all
the native trees that you have picked out that you're
going to give away at the two locations of Mattree
Brewery here in Cincinnati, which one did you pick?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
So we went with black gum nissoslovatica, which is probably
arguably my favorite native tree. Such a wonderful what I
refer to as small to medium canopy tree, sixty to
eighty feet tall at maturity twenty to thirty foot spread.
But just you want to talk about a beautiful street tree,
(03:37):
urban landscape tree, this one checks a lot of boxes.
The whole bees or trees for bees. This one is
very popular with pollinators. It's not the most ornamental kind
of a yellowish green flowers small, but that doesn't bother
(03:57):
the pollinators. They love it. They're attracted to it happening
around this time ish. But you want to talk about
a tree that you know the branching ninety degrees. Very
interesting architecture to the tree that in itself makes it
kind of unique and unusual.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Follow it up.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
It's a dioecious tree. And I know I'm using big
Purdue words on iran, but separate male female flowers on
the tree. But when you get a female black gum,
it produces a blue droop. The songbirds absolutely love it,
so it's a great food source for them. And then
(04:38):
the piece there resistance is the fall color, which is
kind of a crimson scarlet red. Probably one of my
favorite out of anything out there. It's just absolutely spectacular and.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Beautiful, tough and durable. And by the way, you know,
we had classes at Ohio State to be able to
interpret what you folks and Purdue are saying. I knew
what exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
There, Well, I knew you'd get there wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Love talking with Bill de Bori. He's from Woody Warehouse Again,
great website if you want to learn more about native
plants is Woodywarehouse dot com uh and they're giving away
some free trees for the bees here locally, and it's
a Cincinnati area Mad Tree Brewery. If you're from Ori area,
you know it's a great brewery.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Now you're going to be at both of their locations
right giving away trees.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
So they are great friends. At the Cincinnati Zoo will
be manning the Blue Ash location, and then Steve will
join the Woody Warehouse delegation if you will, and we
will be at the Oakley location. So if you want
to come by and chat with the folks at Woody
Wearhouse and Steve Bolts, the Oakley location will be the
(05:53):
one forgiven.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And that's from four until eight, and it's coming up
this Thursday, June fifth.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Sounds like you got all your information, right, Ron.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well, I gave it. You gave me all the information.
Of course, it's I've got all right information. Did their
job right, you did, You did the right job. And
again it's from four until eight. But it's a first come,
first serve bases. Yeah, I'm assuming it's one tree per person,
that's true.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I mean, we don't want people to walk away with fifteen,
although I'm sure they love that. Yeah, we're doing one
tree per group. They will be uh four to five
foot three gallon tree, beautiful trees starters.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
But yeah, show up early.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
At four, come by support mad Tree brewing talk to
some pretty knowledgeable people, including Seafoults, and uh, it'll be
a great time.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
By the way, I think I have Yeah, I do.
I look at my schedule. I think that I had
that on my schedule too.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Well, you know what to sweeten the deal, I'm gonna
bring my wife, since you know I'll be there, my
better half.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You like her better, I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'll force it and get there.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I'll be there. Maybe I can even talk Buggy Joe
Bogs into coming with me.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Hey, the more the merrier.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Now, when you're at Mattree giving away these free trees
for bees on Thursday, June fifth, that's coming up this
Thursday from four until eight. If you wait till eight o'clock,
there may not be any trees left. So i'd get
there early. What do you have a particular from mad
Tree that you enjoy or you just try them all?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You know?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I view myself as an equal opportunity, So depending on
the mood, the temperature, and other factors, will probably make
a selection or two and stay with it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Got it a faults. It doesn't matter as long as
it's cold.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I don't even know that it matters that it's cold.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, that's true, lukewarm. It would work because they's well,
you know, waking up in the morning and a few
left over, and you know all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So anyway, I come early because the trees will be gone,
and who knows, the beers might be gone too.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And they have great food to have, even the one
on Madison there in Oakley. Then the pizzas are outstanding
and the great foods you can eat there as well.
And grab yourself a free black gum tree. And these
are n little bitty seedlings. This is something. This is
a three gallon pots. So you get a little bit
of a tree here to take home and plant. And
by the way, I'll be drinking shade because of the
(08:19):
free trees.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
As long as you're not throwing shade, ron, it'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I with my big fat body, I'll be throwing shade
as well. But shade shade is my favorite. When it
goes to drinking at man treat, I'll treat you to
one as well.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I certainly appreciate it and look forward to it, and
look forward to get to talk to all the great
people Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So you can talk to build the Boar and all
the folks from a woody warehouse. Steve Folks is going
to be there as well. This is the one in Oakley,
and then all the folks from the Cincinati Botanical Garden
and Zoo will be at the one in Blue Ash.
That's this Thursday, June the fifth, starting at four o'clock,
and you can pick up up your free black gum
tree and enjoy a little bit of a brewing from
(09:04):

Gary Sullivan online dot com, Ladies, tell me the one,
the only mister Gary.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Sullivan man, aren't you for happiness?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Is just trying to spread the word.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Spread the word. The sun is out and I'm ready
to rock and roll and I wake up this morning
and all I hear about is Duke Energy raising their
prices twenty five percent to park kill a lot hour.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Twenty five percent.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
That's what's that. That's not doing it from Duke. It's
just you know, in our area. For people listening elsewhere,
maybe you should worry, maybe you should not. I can't
tell you, but it's, uh, the trend continues.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Let's put it that way, you know, with a man
of your age, and I'm starting to you know, I'm
right behind. Uh, it's amazing the prices of everything that's
gone up.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
It is crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Clearly going out to eat. Oh my, yeah, we had
an eight out an establishment right around over by your
house last night, and yeah, I can't believe how they're meant.
It's just like I just sat there and went, you
got to be kidding me.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Oh, let me ask you another question. Could you hear
in the restaurant?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That was the other thing was like, I'm telling you,
is it noisey? Does that just mean? Because I know
you know it's.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Like, well, you know, it's about turning tables, but it's
also about design and so many restaurants. Boy, if you
walk in, you know you got the LVT flooring, or
you got a ceramic tile or you know, hard surfaces,
and then what do you got on the ceiling? Got
exposed duckwork, girders, metal glass tiles I've seen, And it's
(15:23):
a big old echo chamber.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
They had hung a wooden lattice work kind of thing
up in there to try to break it a little bit,
because I was looking at it, but I was thinking
to myself, what else could I if I manage this,
what else would I do to try to cut down
the noise in here?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
It's about a billion things. Yeah, but even if you
took big old cloth drapes and you know, started in
the corners and around the perm room, pulled them to
the center and a big medallion in the center where
you you know, kind of have drapes for the ceiling, Yeah,
could look ornate and be a sound killer. So you're
turning tables, you're charging more money, and they're still struggling,
(16:00):
and it's not as much fun.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You hit it on the head.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And then I got to pay more money for my
air conditioning and.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Heat, yeah, and everything else you'd.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And everything else I do in that.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
So let's wine and cramp a little bit today.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So that, mister Sullivan, is the reason why I'm trying
to be as happy as possible and spreading the word
to stay positive, stay happy, keep smiling good. So there
you go.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I'm proud of you, Thank you so much. I'm just
going to keep anything.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Anything I can do to make you proud of me
or happy is my pleasure.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Well, so grow trees because of the ac you know,
that's one of the big things. In the summertime we've
been haven't had a great need to turn the air
conditioner on. In fact, it has not been on yet,
and that's great.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I bet it has. I bet it has.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Oh when I had a service day, go there you go,
and you're always looking to trip me up.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Just making sure because it has. Because the people, well
then people listen to you would say, well, I thought
Gary said he had a you know, I know, serviced.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
They'll say that line, Gary, that line. Now he's crying
that lion old man. Oh golly, but yeah, shade around
the house. That people don't give trees enough credit. You know,
the coatings industries hustling like crazy about radiant barrier paints
(17:22):
and ceramic paints to create cooler temperatures in your house.
You've been preaching that for what is it now, eight
hundred years or gary?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
You know when people still in ron rothis it makes him.
He just doesn't get it. And I understand that folks
have arbis out to their home to take trees down. Yeah,
because they're tired of the leaves. Yeah, And it's like,
are you kidding me? For all the benefits, all the
other benefits, you know, and you can mow those leaves
back into the turf. I don't want to mess with them.
I don't want to mess with those leaves. It's like,
(17:51):
give me a break.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Well, I told somebody the other day we were talking
about the energy costs on the news. Came out in fact,
it starts tomorrow. By the way, I think it was
a lot great. But you know, when you go camping
and it's in August and it's ninety three degrees, you
don't pitch your ten in an open field. You put
it in the woods.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So that's what I've been doing wrong. No wonder we
couldn't stand inside that everybody wound up sleeping outside.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I mean, think about it, it's like twenty degrees cooler. Yeah,
oh yeah, so I don't know. I don't think we
can talk enough about taking care of our trees properly, pruning,
making sure they're healthy. Yep, you know, because that's going
to keep your houses cool. Then we can talk about
(18:40):
the ventilation and the insulation.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's no different than maintaining your home. You know, in
your budget, you have a budget in that budget to
do things to maintain your home, and within your budget
should have things there to maintain your trees and evergreens
because evergreens are important in the winter time. Sure we're
redirecting the wind and things like that, so both of
those are keep playing. And should in your budget be
something about certified armists coming by every now and then
(19:04):
to check out your trees and evergreens to make sure
they're all good to go, right, inspector or whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Yeah, how many times have we talked about your home
and outdoor living is an extension of your home. Same thing,
outdoor living, outdoor landscaping, that piece of property is all
your home.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, that's it, exactly, bring the indoors outdoors. So thanks
for the great Yeah, thanks for the great news about Duke.
By the way, I appreciate you, no problem. Yeah, So
what are you gonna talk about today besides Duke.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
I think I might whine a little bit about that
I started reading. I didn't really you know, I'm curious
what people were gonna do. I mean, you're not gonna
but you know, like outdoor lighting. You see all the
outdoor lighting. It's beautiful on homes, don't you. Oh yeah,
And a lot of those things. I know they're led
and they but they burned twenty four hours. Do we
need to do that? Is there really much of a
(19:54):
savings there? Biggest savings is probably air conditioning and old
appliances their energy hall newer appliances are about fifty percent
more efficient than the old stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah. And even if, like the new phrase is gonna
cost you fifteen hundred bucks, yeah, in the long run,
that's gonna save you fifteen hundred bucks and probably quicker
than you would imagine.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Last week we talked about battery operated lawnmowers, putting those
big batteries in charging them up here town. I don't
know what that costs either.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
We've got to do some work.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Well, have a great show, and I know you will.

Gary and his trees.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I like that Gary in his trees. Well you get
love that?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What a fanantastic. I'm very serious. You know, we joke
around a little bit, but I thought we do. Man.
I can't believe you know, I'm sure we're probably how
about that, I.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Said, you do, Joe, I didn't know you joked around.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Well, I do joke around. I think a little bit.
I don't know. Maybe I'm serious, Maybe I'm too serious.
What do you guys think?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't think so, although you can't, although you can
be when necessary.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
When necessary, not often, but often.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I do like it.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
No, the point with that Gary's making with the trees
is absolutely right. We talk about it all the time.
And you know, when you see your your utility bills
going up, it just shows you how important these other
factors can be in trying to keep those costs down
for you by maintaining you know, the trees and the
shade and the winter blocks of the wind in the wintertime,
(24:57):
and thing how how important plants can be.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Well, i'll tell you and you and I've talked about
this before, and I'll be honest. I used to teach
about it.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But wait a minute, you're going to be honest.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I'm being honest. I'm being honest this time. I have
forgotten this and I trees for on eye trees. I
mean that's been around for quite some time. And any
of the listeners just go to your computer type in
ie trees. You don't have to even do the dash's
just I Trees and you'll see this website that comes
(25:30):
up that was I'll developed. I think it was first
developed fifteen well, oh says right here. Since two thousand
and six, the US Force Service, Davy Tree Expert Company,
the Arbor Day Foundation, Urban and Community Forestry Society, our
favorite international societal, Ore Culture, and Casey Trees partnered to
(25:52):
produce this this online evaluation of why trees mattered. And
it's been interesting because years ago I used well back
when we were talking about the impact of the loss
of ash trees, right I think on your on your show,
I would run the eye tree thing and you know,
(26:12):
for a ten ins and a ten inch ash tree,
you know what's going to be the loss and and
that would be maybe helpful and calculating whether a person
should treat the tree or not. I mean, we're dredging
up old times right now. You know it's it's we
would park our model ts and talk about this, right
(26:33):
I have. But you know what I have to tell
you what was really interesting is as I was looking
at it, because I was listening to you and Gary
and thinking, you know, I need to we need to
revisit this because it is a great tool to it's
backed by a lot of great data. It's not just
made up stuff. But on the other hand, you know,
(26:54):
I really like the way Gary just kind of distilled
it right down to one thing to convince people that
trees matter. Well, where do you pitch your tent when
you go camping? And like you, Ron, I've never understood
why I get so dang hot out there in the
middle of that field.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Yeah, and then you wind up sleeping outside. It's like,
why did they bring your tint?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
That's right? Well, and all the you know, all the
insects and them, I'll just like can identify them as
they bite me. They all come swarming at you. But no,
it's it is. I thought that was just a wonderful
you know, uh, sort of an impact statement to say, well,
you're not going to camp out in the middle of
the field unless you're maybe in Nebraska, right.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Well, see, And it was interesting. The more mature you get,
like Gary's much older than either one of us, those
types of those types of wisdom come.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
To you more wisdom. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So that's something we look forward to when we get
his age, that we may have that level of wisdom
as well, I never thought.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Of that, Ron. That is really we're kind of learning
at Gary's knee.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
That's that.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, yeah, you know he's hitting around the campfire.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He's like my much older brother.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Or uncle uncle Gary hold Forth. Yes, I know, well
that's true. I mean for center, for forever we've we've
relied on the wisdom of our elders. You're going to
get in real trouble now, aren't we. Yes. But you know,
it is a great topic because when you you know,
(28:30):
when you are dealing with some of the issues with trees,
and let's face it, you know, with some of the
storms we've had, and you know, things that that that
can cause them to present a challenge. You know, you're right, Ron.
Sometimes you do hear people say, well, you know, I
just don't think it's worth the risk. But at the
end of the day, and and you talk to folks,
(28:51):
for example, in our neck of the woods, a Hyde Park,
you know, that's an older neighborhood right with a lot
of big trees, and you know, you you talk to
folks there and hear the temperature in their house, whereas
where where I live, where you know, Tree Kennethy is
going to take a long time to start shading these houses.
(29:12):
You know, when you're talking in the middle of an
August hot day, which place would you'd rather be? And
I love what you said that. You know, we do
need to look at our trees first as an asset,
not as a liability. And that's been shown numerous times
where the value of of of our home values you
(29:33):
know this ron are directly tied to the landscape around
the home, and so looking at trees as being part
of it. Just like when somebody walks in and loves
your decor, loves the painting in the in your the
paint in your house, it's the same thing when they
drive up and there's a nice shade. And and so
(29:54):
with that said, there you know where I'm heading. There's
there's actually a setup here because what about a month ago,
you know I talked about this. We updated myself and
Amy Stone updated a fact sheet called how and Why
to hire an arborus and it's an Ohio State University
(30:14):
fact sheet and what it does and one reason we
updated it is because you know, you've had Ron rothis
on and talked about this in the past. You have
you have arborous with tremendous expertise, but different levels of
expertise based on what we call credentials or what they
(30:35):
call credentials. And so if you take a look at
what the International Society of a Bora Culture offers now
in terms of professional development and recognition, uh, it's it's
it's very very important because if you step back and
think about it, a lot of the other professions have
the same thing in different ways. I mean, if you
(30:58):
if you wanted to have you know, something done with
your foot, you probably wouldn't go to an eye, ears
and nose specialists, right, it's the same. That's kind of
a stretch. Well, I'm suffering from a sinus detection rod
so everything's kind of focused on my head right now.
But at the end of the day, you know, we
(31:19):
do have these different professional levels. I shouldn't call it
that actually, just as I should just say credentials with
the is A And that's very important because the arbus
must have take an exam, past the exam, and then
even more importantly, they have to maintain a certain number
(31:40):
of CEUs with that credential every year, so they have
to keep up with the training. You know, they have
to prove their professional status and then keep up with
the training. And that's very important when it comes to
working with trees, and so I try to help people
understand that instead of perceiving. You know, when you call
(32:03):
an arbor's, well, they're going to come take your tree down.
I mean, how if you've heard that, ron, I mean,
we still hear it.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
And their goal is to not take your tree down.
It is exactly the opposite, unless unless it needs to come.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Down, exactly. They give a very professional look at it.
But here's what's important, and you said it, you said
it earlier. That is a little bit of maintenance. So
the arbus is your partner in this endeavor obviously to
help maintain your trees. A little bit of maintenance can
go a long way. I've you watched this. I watched it.
(32:41):
You know you'll see a visit and look at an
oak tree before and after, and it's like a good haircut,
which I used to get, you know before when I
had hair, right, a good haircut. You know, we really
shot barbershop.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
He'd come in while I was in the chair, So
what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Well I'd always asked him, ask
a Barbara to give me what you know that he
gave you could you get those flattops? And he just
looked at me like that ship has sailed. Joe.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, sorry, Joe, I haven't done that in a long time.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You know that is funny. I yeah, that is true.
How long ago? What we're going back?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
My wife reminds me how nice it is without having
a flat top.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
So well, there you go.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, well, as long as she's happy, I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, I mean you and I are certified.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Certifiable.

I'll tell you. I don't know. You know, you know,
if anybody just flipped the radio and they're going to
be taking them, what are these guys? All of these
guys were garden people. What are we talking about? We're
(37:17):
talking about important stuff, aren't we. That's exactly right. Let
me tell you, and we eat pretty good out of
the garden. How do you like that? So I took
off because you know, Gary got me so fired up.
You're all you you're discussion about trees. So what were you
(37:41):
going to talk about today? What were we going to cover?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Camping? And you don't pitch a tent in the middle
of the field.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Or in the middle of a river.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, I learned that. You did learn that.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I was We're going to talk about a couple of things.
I actually had the purse, like leaf structures on hydrangees.
I actually had a couple of those pictures email to
me this week.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Isn't that something that someone did that?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
So I was able to just return your byg L
bulletin and back to them to explain. Tom also had
a bunch of poison hemlock questions. Just so I went
back to twenty twenty four and reprinted that beagle because
that's a big one. It's about five hundred but yes
(38:37):
it is.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Well now we have it in you know, in gold leaf. Yeah,
so you know printed that way. Yes, it's a doorstop
if you don't want to have it on your shelf.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
It's a thick one, but it's got lots of information,
But I've also been sitting that one out as well
for information because poison m block finally starting to not finally,
but really starting to show flowers now and you can
see yeah see it.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Yeah, well, I'll tell you. I got stumped. Well, I
got stumped twice. You stumped me.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
I don't I don't mean to stop if I if
I sent it to you, I'm stumped you.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
So you sent me a picture and yeah, you sent
me a picture of a strange structure on was that?
Was that a Christmas cactus? What was that?
Speaker 5 (39:22):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Blue Holly? I don't did you figure? I mean, I
I'm like you, It's like when I looked at it,
it's like I think I know when I'm looking, but
I wasn't sure. Did you work that out? I described
the listeners of what's happening?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I I know because I had that. I had somebody
send me something a picture of that similar situation, I
don't know, probably five or six years ago. Yeah, and
I did. I couldn't find anything on it. And finally
I found some discussion about some possibly uh issues with
a flower that it did something that you know, they oh,
(40:06):
that it was possibly involved with the flower. But other
than that, I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Well what we're talking about for folks that so we're
in a holly here and it's a it's just like
a brown, massive material that that doesn't look like it
just I mean, it didn't look to me like it
fell off the plant. What I guess you're yeah, it
looked like it was put there.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
And so now one thing, if it's further you know,
if it's further down in the plant. Sometimes we have
different species of ants, particularly in the more southern part
of the United States, that can make little structures. But
you know, it's a I tell you, Ron, I hate
to say it at our age. You know, we have
sisted through so much over the years, and let's face it,
(40:51):
you know that's good experience. I think we have a
good experience. The downside is, you know, sometimes the neuron
that where that information was kept got replaced by by
highlights from the OSU National Championship. That makes sense perfect.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
I say, my memory is like a rolodex. You got
to go through looking at these index cards, you know,
and somehow they get one of that one got tossed out.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Well, you're not going to believe this. This is like
the classic. This was simply a classic, and I should
have there should have been a slam dunker. So this
past week I got a picture of somebody, somebody, I
mean actually for some very nice pictures of mint with
some type of a weird sort of black you know,
(41:43):
infection on the leaf. Looked like, you know, some type
of fungal black you know, sunken areas. Oh it looked awful.
I mean, you wouldn't want to put, you know, make
a mint jewlip out of that. And man, I tell you, ron,
I looked at it and looked at it, and you know,
whatever was going on there, it obviously was in that
other neuron. When Ohio State, you know, won the previous championships,
(42:04):
they got knocked off, you.
Speaker 7 (42:05):
Know, And I honestly really I looked at that for like,
you know, and then all of a sudden, oh, four
line plant bug, right, I talked about this, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
So unfortunately we're when I the last I looked, which
was earlier this week, that long ago, a lot adults
of adults out there. So the four line plant bug,
the name just really describes it. It has four black
lines and three yellow lines going down it's back and
(42:37):
you can. It's a very fast little insect and you
can find on a lot of different things. But the mint,
you know, that's like the classic, isn't it. They just
they look you know, but it only has one generation
per year. And the the the reason it looked like
a disease is these insects have piercing sucking mouth parts.
(42:59):
They inject enzymes to dissolve plant cells and then they
use their mouth parts like soda straws to suck up
the contents of the plant cells, and so you get
these darkened patches. I mean, it really does look like
a fungal infection or bacterial infection leaves, but it's plant
bug damage. And as I said, the downside is there's
(43:21):
only one generation per year, and that's probably upside too.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
That's the upside.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
And we're getting close to coming. Yeah, we're getting close
to coming to the end of the season for them.
So yes, I got it comp twice.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
And they wear a didas so they are fast when
they're moving on that plant, so they're hard to spray.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Even they are they are very fast. I like that.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Joe Bog's always a pleasure. Great information. We'll talk to
you next Saturday.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
You have a great week, Ron, take care of my.
