• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And and it really was a spring week here I think,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: meaning you know, the weather, the warm the mid I
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: see the rain and now beautiful sunny skies.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: I mean yeah, but it was cold and misty the
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: last few days.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: My euse.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Yes, this morning I got up and I could see
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: my breath really right, that cold forty three that is freezy.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was forty nine in the way in this morning.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: People back east are saying.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Ye, forty three feet right. But now, in all fairness,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: you're from Detroit, so you've you've been through it. You
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: know what cold.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny, you know the from Detroit. How
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: long has it been since you've lived back east?
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: John fifteen, nineteen seventy seven, fifty almost fifty years, Yeah, exactly,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: lived out here.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: It's forty eight years, so well before you were born,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: so you know. I mean, I don't think you can
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: claim that he knows what it's like.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: You know what he grew up. I mean, he knows
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: what cold is.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: But let me let me tell you this is interesting
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: that you bring that up, because I went to school
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: flag Staff, Arizona, and it snows, it gets very cold.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It's interesting because if I go out here and it's
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: forty five, I'm freezing. But I remember going down downstairs
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: to the garage and Flagstaff to get wood, and it
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: would be like thirty five thirty six. It didn't seem
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: as cold as forty five for some reason. And I'm
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: not sure if it's because of location, because I'm in
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: kind of the snow and here it doesn't really snow,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: but it's just cold.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Just weird.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Forty five compars thirty five.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: We're just underprepared here.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I told you this story because it's all relative,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: So this goes along with what you're saying. When I
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: went to Fairbanks, Alaska in January, I gave a talk
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: at the University of Alaska.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: The Royal Order of the Polar Bears.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: But the woman at the hotel drove me to the
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: airport when I was coming home, and she just puts
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: on one of those down vests. Yeah, you know, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: I've got like good park yeah, and I've got those
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: little heat pads.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: In the temperature it was thirty five below outside. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: I said, that's all you're going to wear? And she goes, yeah, yeah,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: we're going to the car. It's gonna be a little
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: nippy tonight, but you know, And I said, but it's
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: it's freezing out there. She goes, oh no, no, fifty
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: degrees is really cold because that's when your bones freeze. Yeah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: No, I get what she's saying.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, relative. So it has been nice. It was
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: a nice We had a little rain a couple of
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: nights ago.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Well that's why I picked out the quote this week,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: because the quote was about March. But we had March,
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: at least California March. Whether this last week we did.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: And in one of his books, Charles Dickens had written,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: it was one of those March days when the sunshine's
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: hot and the wind blows cold, when it's summer in
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: the light and winter in the shade.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Did you see how he slipped that quote in this week?
• 4:51

  Speaker 2: customer's house in Myriata, Okay, and they had I don't know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: maybe thirty or forty roses in the backyard. Every one
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of them fully leafed out, fully beautiful, bull, bull and blue.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: That's what they should be right now. I felt like
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: it was early, but you're you think you're you're there.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: They were perfectly fine.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, it depends on when you prune.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Also, yeah, if they're if they're pruning correctly, if they
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: pruned earlier right the once I.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Pruned last week or still left prune till January, maybe
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: early February.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I was just so impressed. I was just andre. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the reason why I say Murieta too is because they
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: get cold, like they get cold, but they also get
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: heat get warm.
• 7:30

• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Tiger looks more like Tiger than Tiger does and that's
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: very good.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: It's it's been hard to you came out. You make
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: a perfect cartoon.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Care I don't like my nose though, I don't nose
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: like that. I've got an old man nose.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: That's a caricature, I.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Guess.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: But yeah, surprised that you still complain about being an
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: old man in anything.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: That's what you are.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, no, no, don't appear. No, you did
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: a good job. It's now do you have one for
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: next week? Ready? Do we need to discussion?
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: But you know, if you got any ideas, just send
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: them to me. I now I can use almost any
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: idea and make a cartoon.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: This is good because if I can send it to
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: him without him being in the room, I won't see
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: the eye roll. If he doesn't like my idea, you just.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Don't see it.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: I just see it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You just don't never see it published.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I want, I want to, Yeah, I want to exactly.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Do you remember I sent you a list of you
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: had asked for ideas when you were trying to do
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: some cartoons, and so right now I'm working off that list.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Did I sent you? No, the one that I see
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: you sent you. I think it was last year or sometime.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I think it was almost two years ago.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Now, most of mine were not garden related. But
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: we could fix it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we could do some good concepts in there.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the ones I sent you were all gard.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, well that's another direction we're going. If anybody have
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: any ideas, let us know. You know what's funny to
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: you That is the funny thing about gardening as well.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: You know, we talk about just the real life experiences

  Speaker 2: and you have to poke fun at yourself right when
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: your guarden.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: You have to.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: That's the only way to really enjoy it. There you go, see,

• 10:15
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have failures, You're gonna have success. It's just
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a matter of you know, being able to embrace the idea.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I get so, I don't know, not upset, but when
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: customers come in and they get so frustrated that they
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: were not successful and there's no real reason besides they
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: just weren't success.

  Speaker 4: Okay, I'm Brian, I'm with Tiger and John. How's that sound.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can. I can barely hear you. Brian.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Can you hear me? Andrew? This is Tiger.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a little better, but still the same.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, we'll try to work on that on our end,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: on Brian's end of trying to get the audio up. Andrew,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: thank you for joining us this morning. I was just saying,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: you guys don't have too many earthquakes back east, do you.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: Well, occasionally have a little rumble, but that's that's been
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: like the West coast.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you guys don't don't worry about it as
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: much as we do. But you know, I was, I
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: was just we were just talking and you know, I mean,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I hope I don't, you know, have anything happen anytime soon.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: But I really haven't felt an earthquake since I was
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: a kid. Every time there's been one, I've been doing
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: something that therefore I haven't felt it. Like this time
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I was driving and I didn't really feel it, or
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel it at all, I should say. So
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: it's been a while since I've been in a room
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: and then scared from an earthquake. You know, it's just
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: see what happens.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: One of those things, Yeah, happen.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Well, Tiger's thought there was an earthquake when he was
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: walking in the forest, but turned out they were just quaking.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Ass, Okay, that's okay, I'm sure, andrews saying, are we
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: going to get on with this interview? What do we go?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: So? Andrew tell us a little bit about the Pennsylvania
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Court Society and your guys's history and a little bit
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: about the background of it.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: Sure, So we're almost two hundred years old. We were
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: founded in eighteen twenty seven, so twenty twenty seven will
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: be two hundred years old, and we've We've been lots
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: of different things over the last two hundred years. The
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: probably one thing that's remained constant is we also produced
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: the Philadelphia Flower Show, which was started in eighteen twenty
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: nine just to get two years after the starting of
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: the Society, And back then it was off the place
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: where new plants were showcased, like the first point Statia
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: ever that came to the market for showcased at the
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: eighteen twenty nine Flower Show. Today, the HOURT Society does
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: many things. Our mission to advance the health and well
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: being in the Philadelphia region through horticulture, and we do
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: that through four impact priorities, which are creating healthy living environments,
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: increasing access to fresh food, expanding economic opportunity, and building
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: meaningful social connections. And we do that to three major
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: programmatic arms. We maintain about twenty two public gardens and
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: landscapes throughout the city and one in the suburbs. We
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: have a big program street Trees, community gardens me meaning
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: greening and vacant lots, and workforce development. And then the
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: third programmatic arm is the Flower Show. And then we
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: also have a robust members programs, so we have members
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: of the society and we offer them tours and trips
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: and lectures and would produce some magazine four times a year.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: So that's kind of what a PHS is today, you know.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: And you know, this concept of the maintaining and keeping
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: up of gardens in the community is just so important.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: People don't realize it. There was a you know, a
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: study done a while ago, and I'm sure it's nothing
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: new to the people listening, but it just really puts
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: some information, factual information and stats to a concept that
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: we all know but don't always realize. And it's just
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the idea that when you are in an area with
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: you know, green space, with actual you know, beautiful plants
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: and in landscapes, your whole being is better. And they
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: way they did this research was by you know, school campuses,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: and you know, they took a school campus and they
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: made it you know, very bland and a lot of fences,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of asphalt, and they started seeing the students
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: and how they learned and how they responded in the
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: classroom and you know, just their overall well being. And
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: then they took you know, a group of kids and
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: they put them on a beautiful campus where you know,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: they went outside and they learned under trees and they
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: had grass and they have flowers around them, and those
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: kids responded much better. And you know, so people don't
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: realize the importance of maintaining those green spaces around our
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: communities because it helps the people that live there, right Andrew.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's right. We in fact our I mentioned
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: our cleaning and green in a Vacant Lots sort of
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: a program that we do with City of philadels And
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: we identify the blighted kind of condemned properties that they
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: may have a existing house or house's falling in or
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: there its properties covered in crash.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: So we.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: Clean and greened those, removed the rubble grave, the site
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: so grassy, maybe plant a few trees, put a little
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: fence around it. And so these clean and green lots
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: are all over the city. There's thirteen thousand in total.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: So we've worked with a scientist, doctor Eugenia out and
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Sees at University of Pennsylvania. So she's taken of where
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: these green lots are throughout the city and studied their
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: impact on a variety of things including community prosperity, crime
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: and violence, and mental and physical health and just some
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: of her her stats include some one was study participants
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: living near green lots experience or trees.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And hey, sorry and new to cut you off. We
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: do have to pause work course breaking and want to
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: cut you off, but we'll get right back to that idea.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: All break for a bistalk radio coming back quicker for
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Facebook Life, dousday with us andrews our guest this morning,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: I'm playing maintain Tucker Pelipot gone big nsco here. Thank
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: you for want to get stuck.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: John and Tiger.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back as we continue here on Garden
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: America with the Andrew Bunting and apologize for cutting you off,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: but to have to pay some bills with our sponsors.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Tiger go right ahead.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Andrew, you were just talking about the program where
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: you guys actually take vacant spaces and beautify them, whether
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: with the use of you know, green you know, some
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: some plantings, grass, or just something that's going to be
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: better than just rubble and debris. And you guys actually
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: have a scientist doing research on the impact of the
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: surrounding community, is that right?
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, and so just some interesting that's so the
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: steady participants living near the green lawns experience forty one
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: percent decrease in feelings of depression and sixty two percent
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: reduction of self reported or mental health. And then she
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: also what's really interesting is she looked at crime data
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: to this analysis that was done over a thirty eight
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: month sty period and which Steve founts participants living near
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: treated vacant lots reported significantly reduced perceptions of crime by
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: thirty seven percent, vandalism by almost forty percent, and safety
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: concerns when going outside their homes by almost sixty percent.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Seventy five percent of the participants reports significantly increased use
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: of outside spaces for relacing and socializing, was a thirteen
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: percent reduction in crime overall, in a twenty nine percent
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: reduction and gun violent So you know, as you mentioned,
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: a green space can do a lot of things for
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: a lot of people, but there's good science to show
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: that it, especially in an urban area, how it impacts
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: mental health as well as reduction in crime. And we
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: all know that just you know, being in a green
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: space or near a green space or gardening, what that
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: does to us both mentally and physically.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's amazing, but
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: that that stuff isn't cheap, you know, from the idea
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: of you know having to go in there remove the rubble,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: you know, actual do the planting and then you know,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys are good stewards in the way
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: of you know, down the road. I mean, I'm sure
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: the plants that you choose are going to be something
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: that are going to impact the area in a good
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: environmental way slash not be high end maintenance. But is
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: your guys, is biggest fundraiser of the year, the Philadelphia
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Flower Show.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: It's part of it. Yeah, I would say there's you know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: we do a variety of different ways to raise funds
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: for pennsylvani Horticultural to say, one of them being the
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Philadelphia Flowers Show. We also get funds from the City
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: of Philadelphia to support cleaning and green into vacant lots
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: in our workforce development program. We also have a member's programs,
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: so we get funding. We get a lot of different
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: brands from you know, local city family foundations, you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: some state sources as well. So it's a I would
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: say there's many pieces for the of the funding high
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: that goes together to you know, bringing revenue and funding
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: sources for us each and every year.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Know, you know one of our listeners that is there
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: some is there a YouTube channel or you know for
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Flower Show, is there a way to kind
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: of check it out online? And I'm sure you guys
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: have a lot of resources, because that's one of the
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: other great things you guys do is share so much
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: information via your website, whether it is tutorials, whether it's
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: information new plants. You know, So if somebody did want
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: to find out more information specifically about the Flower Show,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: they probably just visit your website, right.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if you get a phs online dot org, you'll
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: see many tabs Flowers Show. Is there kind of there's
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: a whole tab on kind of gardener's information, I mean
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: a member or volunteering. You know, we have almost four
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: thousand volunteers, many of which do volunteer at the flowers.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: So and if you're even if you're not in the area,
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: there are some opportunities to do volunteer remotely. We use
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: a lot of volunteers for tree planting. We've just got
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: a big tree planting last weekend, and we'll do another
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: big one in the fall. We have a huge community's
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: art in programs, so there's lots of ways for people
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: to get information but also get involved.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Speaking of trees, you know, your first book that you wrote,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: or at least that's what it says online, was a
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: guide to Magnolia trees, am I.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: Correct, Yeah, that's right.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Now, so you know a lot of people just think
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the magnolia is white flower. You know, southern magnolia's giant trees.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: But there's a lot of varieties, and people don't even
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: have an idea of you know, the deciduous varieties, pink flowers,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: different shapes, different styles.
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, yeah, it's a big genus. Yeah, most people
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: are aware of the auscer magnolia that blooms in the
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: spring with white or pink flowers, or as you mentioned,
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: the southern magnolia with large, stiny, glossy leaves and blooms
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: in the late spring or summer. But there's many species,
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: hundreds of collections, if not thousands, and some are evergreen,
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: some are small, some are big. Mostly bloom in the spring,
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: but some bloom sporadically throughout the growing too. Then there's
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: seven species that are native east of the Mississippi. I
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: would say most species are native to stay southeastern Asia,
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: but there's a lot of species in Mexico, Central America,
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: northern South America, ports of the Caribbean. But a group
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: of plants that probably you know, most people only know
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: a handful of species and cultivars.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you do.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: You kind of have a favorite grouping over in that
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: in that tree genus, or you just kind of like
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: them all.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: I would say I do like some of the aren't
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Eastern natives because they have big leaves almost of have
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: a tropical look. I do like the you know, the
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: early spring flaring ones, the star Magnolia, Leidner magnolia, and
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: It's Magnolia, saucer magnolia. Those are all like classic spring
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: flowering trees. You know a lot of people call the
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: magnolias the queen queen of the flowering trees, and they
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: it's nice about magnolia's as they bloom heavily every year.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: You know, they don't get a year. Some years they
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: get then maybe they come out too early and get frosted.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: It's always the risk they run. But yeah, it's you know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: there's many colors. There's pinks and white, and the poles
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: and magentas and some that border on red. And there's
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: a whole group of the yellow magnolias that's a group
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: that I like, and they tend to bloom later, so
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: they don't really run the risks ofting.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: I just lost the magnolia last week. No gopher, it's
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: one of the New Zealand hybrids. Are they hardy in
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: in areas of Pennsylvania by any chance?
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: They're bet they're better on the west coast there a
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: lot of those New Zealand hybrids have a species called
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: Campbelli ee uh huh, which is native to the foothills
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: and Himalaya mountains, and that that that particular species doesn't
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: like our eating humidity. So you tend to see those
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: New Zealand types more like you know, southern California, northern California,
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Pacific Northwest, but not not so much on the East coast.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: Just just too hot and humid and.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: In general from amazingly large flowers.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, that's from the campbell eye parents. If
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: you if you google magnolia campbelly eye, some half flowers
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: that are twelve or fourteen inches across.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah, in those southern magnolias too. It's
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: kind of like when you go to Hawaiian and you
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: see the pathos growing. It's huge and it's got the
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: leaf the size of a six foot person. Yeah, when
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: you go back east and you see this Magnoia tree
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and it's the size of our our fight is trees
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: that we here, you know what I mean. They're just massive,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: massive trees. It's so impressive. But you know, over here
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: we tend to like the magnolia little gem because everybody
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: wants everybody wants the magnolia, but they don't want the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: size tree in their yard.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's that's a good one. That's you know,
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: that's the selection of the southern magnolia that's more diminutive
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: in size. But you're right. If you go to say
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: anywhere from like wash and can be see south, you'll
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: see southern magnoli is that hour over one hundred feet
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: tall there, you know, are ubiquitous and massive landscape trees
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: and the.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Flower like you're saying, and it's so impressive because to
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: see his tree that size with that flowering capability as well,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: it's pretty impressive. Hey, Andrew, we are going to take
• 30:22

  Speaker 2: You have that that list? You you kind of know
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: some of those plants that you guys were sharing.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I have them here, so you know, it's obviously
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: there's so many new plants that come out every year.
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: One of the things I do is part of my job,
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: is I try to go to trade shows around the country,
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: and I can't I can't hit them all, but I
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: go I kick off the year and go to one
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: in Baltimore, and then I usually go to one in Columbus, Ohio,
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: and then I might take in a couple others, also
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: trying to visit nurseries and see what's new. And there's
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: literally hundreds off not thousands of new plants every year,
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: so it's a little hard to narrow it down. So
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: I just picked a couple rubs and trees, so you know,
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: one plant that's had an amazing renaissance in the last
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: twenty years are the hydranges. And it really started prop
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: probably about twenty years ago. Marcus Stewart had a bouquet
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: of hydranges on the cover of her magazine, Marcus Stewart Living,
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: and ever since then there's been a global fixation on hydranges.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: So one of the ones I've picked is there's a
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: species of hydrange hydrange of piculata, which blooms on new wood,
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: which means that he's sit it's hard during the winter
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: and got new stems. It'll it'll bloom that season and soon.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: There's there's a number of diminutive ones, and one is
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: called dragon baby. There's many other smaller ones. Another one
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: that I like that's kind of small like that is
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: a little lime or bobo. And what's nice about them.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: A regular hydrange of sticulate it can get twenty feet tall,
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: but these smaller ones they are only like two to
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: three at to four feet, But they're nice for maybe, uh,
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: you know, maybe a city dweller that doesn't have a
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: lot of space.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: And then I also recommended a couple of trees and
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: to not be as promoted as say perennials or scrubs,
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: so uh, you know, we're always we're in the business
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: of finding good street trees. And one street tree we
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: use a lot of that's incredibly adaptable. I suspect that
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: we grow almost in any state in the United States.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: And it's called the Kentucky coffee tree, and it's it's
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: kind of a gangly tree. It takes several years before
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: it gets kind of nice form an architecture. But there's
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: a new one out called a skinny Latte's been named
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: for a Kentucky coffee tree, and it's more upright and stature. So,
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: you know, one of the problems with street tree sometimes
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: is they can be too broad spreading and then ultimately
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: maybe get boomed by the utility companies. This little bit
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: more upright and it's stature. And what's nice about the
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: Kentucky coffee trees is they can take good soil, wet soil,
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: they can take really cold conditions. It's a street tree
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: that's popular. Altraat in the Midwest seems to be thh indifferent,
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: so they can take an acidic or an alkaline soil.
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: So skinny Lattes kind of a new selection of the
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: of the Kentucky coffee trees.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Oh that's fun, what a fun name. I'm looking it
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: up right now and they are very tall upright trees,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm think I've got a picture up and it's
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: got kind of a pink flower.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah kind of white? Is white? Is? I think it's
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: only grown more for it it's durability, Okay, I would
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: say it's flowers. And also skinny latte is a is
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: a male. The females there a little problematic and that
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: they produce a big pod because they're in the in
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: the bean family.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you know that is sometimes the trouble with
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: trees is that the mess that it could create after
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: after a bloom or after the seed cycle and stuff
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: like that. But so, so you're saying that these ones
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: are all male like when they're bread like this, what
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: what is the other tree here that they do that
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: is that InKo? John that they only breathe like the
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: males because.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: They're male selections because of the fruit.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: So yeah, if you get a female ginko, they can
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: be quite messy and smelly. Dicoso are one of the
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: most durable of all the street trees, even though they're
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: not native and maybe don't have as much ecological functions
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: as some of the other trees. It is such a
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: durable tree. It can really grow them almost anywhere I see.
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: I probably think Ginko's planted in more cities around the
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: world than any other trees.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: You're talking about, this vestigiot form of the gymno clattys.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: There's been a lot of breeding with ginkos and selections
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: on ginko trees.
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's one called sin It's more right. There's some
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: little little dwarf ones, you know, for like a rock
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: garden as well, something more than a couple feet tall.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: There's one that has h is it tube of form
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: us that has curled ye.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, there's some that have variegated leaves for plant
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: of this one species that actually has quite a few
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: different variants.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: I was shocked when I was at the Chelsea Flower
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: Show and saw a booth that just didko varieties.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the whole booth. Figure it out. Like, hey, hey, Andrew,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: we are going to have to take another break right now.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: When we get back, we'll wrap up chatting with Andrew
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Bunting and the Pennsylvania Hortic Culture Society. So yeah, yep,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: stay with us.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: We've got like I say, news coming up top of
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: the hour for BIS Talk Radio Facebook Live. Do stay
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: with us, Welcome back as Tick you mentioned, wrap things
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: up with Andrew Bunting after news and some of these
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: messages on the BIS Talk Radio and a big thank
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: you to our sponsor, major sponsor, Furnilom here on Guard
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: the Mayor. All right, how about that Facebook Live. We
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: are back very quickly. Those on the BIS Talk Radio
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: just joining us. Welcome would be our number two for
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: our friends on BIZ talk radio here on Guard in America.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: As we wrap things up with Andrew Tiger.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, Andrew, I wanted to wrap up because you
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: are the vice president of Whole Culture and leads the
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: utilization planting and design to promote environmentally sound gardening there
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: at the PHS in California. Here, a lot of us
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: have moved to this kind of native plant gardening. You know,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: I think mostly because of water. You know, we're always
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: trying to serve water here in California. And I'm wondering
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: back back there, do you guys try to you know,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: focus on the native plant selection too, or just like
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: what you said here, uh, I mean, in your in
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: your discussion prior where it's just more of the right
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: plant for the right place, you know, back east, because
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you guys plant you know, like
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: you say, that large tree and it gets up into
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: the power lines, you know it's going to become more
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: problematic than if you planted native tree and it gets
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: into the power line. Do you guys focus on the natives?
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: There is my basic question.
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I would say yes, yes to some degree.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: I would say, we don't exclusively promote native plants. I
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: would say for us, especially in the city, it means
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: the first and foremost be urban tough and resilience that
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: could be to be a native, to be a non native.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: We do a want to promote plants that have ecological functions.
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: So those often are native plants for their plants that
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: support pollinators or support you know, food sources for native songbirds,
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: or whatever whatever the case might be. So I would say,
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: you know, a lot of lecturing and writing and interviews
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: and podcasts that I do, I do talk about native plants.
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: I have entire power point presentations on native plants. But
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: I don't only talk about data native plants. You know,
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: I think a home garden that has a lot of
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: natives and some non natives as well, can be a
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: place that supports good biodiversity. So, you know, we also
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: talk about a few years ago we created these kind
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: of gardening to the Greater Good principles and they're they're
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: pretty simple there. One is to celebrate gardening, love gardening,
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: choosing plants with intentions that choosing you know, pollinator plants
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: by local Maybe use tools that are electric to your
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: garden is part of the ecosystem. So again, maybe having
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: ecologically beneficial plants in your garden, use organic fertilizers versus synthetics, composts,
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: figure out ways to mitigate some water runoff on your property.
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: And then also, and this is kind of that spread
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: through all of HS, embrace the sharing mindsets. So that
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: might be sharing your knowledge, it might be getting involved
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: in volunteering, and it might be you know, producing a
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: lot of produce in your garden and then sharing it
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: with your neighbors or with a food kitchen or a
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: food bank, or maybe get involved in a community garden.
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: So those are four principles that underpin the work that
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: we do, and we try to in all the work
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: we do uplifts these principles of gardenings for the great
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: good yeah.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Really good information in like you said before, all this
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: information is actually shared online by hs online dot org,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: where you can go to find all the videos, the tutorials,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: where you guys are are doing talks, and how people
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: can get involved. So get a chance check out their
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: website and you know, get involved. Andrew, thank you very
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: much for joining us this morning. You have a great
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: rest of the weekend in a happy Eastern Yep.
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: Thanks for having me.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: All right, take care, all righty. You know, he was
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: talking about that last concept of sharing, and I was
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: just thinking, you know, he's talking about growing plants and
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: sharing crops, and I'm like thinking, or you could grow
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: thousands of roses and then begin to share them all
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: of the right. John has the most sharing garden ever.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: Sharing plants would be at the top list of.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: My shes exactly.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, we've got an auction coming up too.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: I'll have to let people know when all the plants
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: are posted. Right now, I think almost everyone is up there.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: You can't bid yet, but if you go to see
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: e rs dot com you can see the plants that
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: are going to be offered and.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Start getting start saving your pennies.
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there'll be some really good deals.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: There's also.
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: Some roses on there that this is that there may
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: be two of that rose in the country, and one
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: of them will be in the auction of course, the
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: other one will be at my house.
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Now, those people that if the sneak preview want to
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: see what's happening they is there any way for them
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: to know that this particular rose might be what you're
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: talking about, Like, there's only two in the country. I'm gonna,
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna, I'm wanna been on this one.
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: You know, one of our members is posting things on Instagram,
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: so if you go to them, you would know. Yeah,
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: if you go to California Coastal Roads, you'll see that.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: But also if you the link takes you to help
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: me find roses, if you're clicking on a rose variety,
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: and that will tell you a little bit. If you
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: go to gardens, when you click on that rose variety,
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: it'll show you how many gardens.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, you'll actually in.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So oh.
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: Also an easy way to tell if you're online is
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: look at the price.
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: Right, and then it's interesting.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: Usually usually not always, but usually the higher the price
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: rare the rose.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: And then when you're actually when we're involved in the
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: auction and you see like a lot of people bidding
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: on a certain rose and the price keeps going up
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: and up and up. They know something that maybe somebody
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: else doesn't know. Why adding on that road.
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: Now, this auction is online only, right, so people all
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: over the country can bid. We ship all over your country.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: You can't talk. If you say anything, then you're just qualified.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: Because it's online only.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Silent.
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, there's so many things running through my head right now.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: I like to you.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: I think let's see ronic has got a question.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: On her magnolia.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: Yes, she says, for the dwarf magnolia tiger, do the
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: roots go straight down or spread? There are no trees
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: that have roots that go straight down, and the reason
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: is that there's no oxygen down there, so trees can't
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: live if the roots only went straight down. Now, some
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: trees have a tap root to anchor the tree, and
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: that main tap root will go down, but they still
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: have the side But that.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Tap roots not necessarily bringing the nutrients right like the
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: other roots are not.
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: It's more for anchoring. It's the side roots that will
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: bring in the countries yeah, so on a dwarf magnolia.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: I guess the question for Ronica might really want to
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: know is are the roots going to be is damaging
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: to walkways? Tiger is like maybe a regular size Southern magnolia,
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: and you know, would that be something like little you.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Know, you know, I kind of you know, it depends
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: on how they're watered in the surrounding area. People think that, oh,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: you know, these root systems are just out there to
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: attack sidewalks and roads and pipes and sewer drains, and
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: you know, roots are doing what they're designed to do.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: They're finding water and nutrients.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: That's so if that means there's a leaky pipe or
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: a crack and a sidewalk where water falls into and
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: then stays after a rainfall or irrigation, yes, the root's
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: going to find it. It's going to expose that weakness.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: And it's going to keep using it until it's dright.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Up exactly if it does.
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: But some trees have roots like bike, Yeah, I mean,
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: they're going to just tear up your sidewalk no matter what.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: He's not exactly, they're very But what I'm getting at too,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: is if you properly water your tree by putting a
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: water system, you know, at the drip line soaky it
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: then it doesn't give the roots the reason just to
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: go elsewhere, you know, go elsewhere, and you know it'll
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: it'll keep them in check. Also, using proper things like
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: root barriers, which are something as simple as like a
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: plastic barrier about twenty to twenty four inches down against
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: a sidewalker curb will prevent the roots from from from
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: crossing over because then they go they have to go
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: twenty four inches down before they can go over, which
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: will protect your your sidewalk, your curb, your maybe your
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: planter or or anything of that sort, you know. So
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: that's just good tree etiquette. But I think it really
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: just comes down to starting it with the watering. I mean,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: the the worst watering you can do is just very
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: shallow watering because then the roots, you know, never really
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: go down and they're just always looking for water. And
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: so you got to watch out.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, break time here on Bisktalk Radio, Facebook Life, Regard
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: America back after these messages.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Do stay with us.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: We'll keep monitoring the comments section on Facebook Live to
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: answer your questions and.
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: Share your comments here on Guarden America stay with Okay,
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: well you're back. Hey.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: Speaking of facus for the FCUS plan, I wanted to
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: let you guys in on something. A couple of two
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: or three weeks ago, I mention and then I transplanted
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: a fycus the Dana had and it did all what
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: I thought with the necessary things. After about a week
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: or two, it's outside. It looked terrible. The leaves were yellow,
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: dropping its leaves and I'm thinking maybe transplant shock. It
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: wasn't happy, so I took it. I put it underneath
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: by the front door, which is covered. I gave it
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: some fertilizer from HB one oh one, and I'm waiting
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: to see more leaves drop. Only a couple of two
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: or three leaves might have dropped. It now has green leaves.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: It's starting to look really really good.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: It's happy.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: I think it's happy where it is, and I think
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: the HB one on one and the fertilizer obviously is helping.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: But would you agree that might have been transplant shock
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: for a FCUS. No, what do you think it could
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: have been?
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: It could have been, but more likely it's just you know,
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: it's the cuticle, right, We've talked about that so many
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: times that if you moved it from indoors st outdoors,
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: it would lose every leave, but all the new ones
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: that came out would be.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: But it has been outdoors the whole time. I just transplanted.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: Oh if that yeah, so it was out it was
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: How could it be shocked? What did you do take
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: separate the roots or take anything away from the roots.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: I shook it vigorously and yelled at it. Well, well, no,
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: see I don't I don't know because it had always
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: been outside. I just I put it in a bigger pot.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: That shouldn't it shouldn't have. But it looked terrible, and
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: now now it's looking good. I moved it under I'm
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: not going to move it now because it's got new leaves,
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: green leaves. And if you like where it is, just
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: leave it's not if I like it, if it's if
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: the is like because I liked it.
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: World accommodating the plants.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: So anyway, that's my flactive story. But what they are
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: known to be a little temperamental.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Bike is to a degree, I don't think so oh
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: my experience.
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: If just understanding their needs. If you everybody's a little tempered,
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: say the wrong thing.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: It just loses about ten or fifteen leaves.
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: You know when we were I think it was Ronica.
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: We were answering her question on the magnolia's or whoever
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: it was. But also those are southern magnolias, evergreen magnolias.
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: I don't think you have the same problem with deciduous
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: mag You know, they've got uh more fibrous roots systems.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: And they tend to be more compact too, you know
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: the tree.
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and the trees are smaller the New Zealand hybrids.
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: The trees are a little bit bigger. Lets the gophers.
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: The one that they gopher eight was feeling.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Do you know that one?
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: I feel you name your golphers?
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: No, no, this is the tree. Man. I remember when
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: you got those and you're so excited and they were expensive.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: That name, that name? What did it look like? I
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: can't remember.
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: It was like a dark pink yes, a ruby flower?
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Remember, yes? Oh man, Bummer, I know so sad.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Right now, I have it sitting in water and and
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: I'm going to see if I can maybe replant it
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: like your roses.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Yea sometimes, yeah, it'll be interesting to see if it
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: can come back. I don't they're they're not as tough
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: as roses like that.
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: No, I know, out of the eight roses that go
• 54:24
  Speaker 5: for eight, I got six, I saved six two two
• 54:29
  Speaker 5: just are totally dead. But one of them was extremely rare,
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: so I'm really glad I was able to save it.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: Just stop.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Endless battle, yeah something. I mean, that's got to be
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: so challenging, so frustrating to deal with that. I mean
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: every day there's right, yeah, and you know, I mean
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: we all have our own battles. I don't not trying to,
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: but in my landscape, I don't have too much. But
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: I mean people live where they have deer, you know,
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: they have all kinds of creatures and critters that will
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: just gophers on your property or No, I don't have
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: any goers. I've got I've got squirrels. I've got rabbits.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: You have ground squirrel. I don't know. A canyon a
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: canyon like right behind.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Behind you, right, but that's not probably good good land
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: for gophers to be digging. It's probably hard, right.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean I used to have a
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: real big problem with rabbits, and I still have a
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: pretty good problem with rabbits. But my dogs, I think
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: are pretty on top of keeping them out of the yard,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: so it's not as bad as it used to be.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: But you know, the I can't you know. We we
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: were back in England at that one garden and this
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: woman had to fully enclose her her vegetable garden into
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: like a covered thing because of the Remember, you know,
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: the birds would just come in there and just pick
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: everything to death. And she's like, this is the only
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: way I can have plants was basically growing in an atrium,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: you know. And this was and this was just a
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: this was just a backyard. This wasn't this wasn't like, oh,
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: some botanical garden. This wasn't oh like some park, you
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: know and whatever. This was just in order for me
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: to have a vegetable garden, I have to plant in
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: an atrium. So challenge.
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: Veronica elaborated on the area she was thinking of putting
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: a small tree. She said, it's about four foot away
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: from a brick wall and she didn't want to damage
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: the walls. She was thinking a small flowering tree. So
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: I think, I all, you would be fine, be spectacular.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: What about maybe even red butts? Like what about a
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: weeping red butt?
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: That'd be absolutely gorgeous.
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what are they called something found?
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: Ruby. Fine.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: You know it's funny, is I just planted two of
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: those this weekend. That house of Myriata I was talking about.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: They planted two weeping one and then one just a
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: regular force pans.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: Hey, next time you're there, check out the roses. They've
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: got beautiful roses on that problem.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: They're doing something right.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: They they were a different.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Everyone was different massive bushes. I mean, I hate to
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: say it, but they had to be using like systemic
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: something because these plants didn't look real. They looks big.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: Since you mentioned that, Yeah, we were talking. I was
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: mentioning how I never spray right anything. Actually, but I
• 57:36
  Speaker 5: said that I had fifteen hundred roses and no ay
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: fits anywhere on my property. But I think because I've
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: been fertilizing and new growth is coming out. I had
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: for me what was an explosion of aphids two weeks ago,
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: and that meant that there was maybe a dozen roses
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: and had aphits, but they were pretty thick where they
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: were oh and and almost to the point where I
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: thought you should go through and rub them off or Yeah.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: The little new growth is as drooping over from the way.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: We're mainly on the flower buds.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, So anyway, yesterday was out there looking at them,
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: and while there were still a fit's around, not as
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: thick though, and I saw a lot of ladybug large
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: So I think everything's going to be back in control.
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: And then you started thinking, you know, you're really not
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: going to have beneficial insects in your yard unless there's
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: something for me.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: Right, that's the truth, right, that's what they tell you.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: They tell people, you know, when they buy ladybugs. So
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: number one you hit on a great point that people
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: need to know is that the ladybug larvae, which are
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: almost like a red and black little crawling bug.
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: It looks like something that you add, Yeah, it.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Looks like something you want to get rid of it,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: are more voracious eaters a lot more than the actual
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: lady adult lady bug. So those are even more beneficial
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: to have in your landscape.
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: As long as you have something for them to eat
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: and a reason to be there.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: But what is I say it was a lot of people.
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: Are teenagers gonna eat a lot more than an adult.
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: We're gonna an adult.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: We gotta take a break, Okay, well, here more segments.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: Our next segments, one of our longer segments. Plenty of
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: time for Facebook Live questions, comments back after these messages.
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: This is Darting America Biz talk Radio, Facebook Lives. All right,
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: we continue.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: This is No.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: One of our longer segments. Take advantage ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: boys and girls. Lady bugs. That's how we left our
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: last segment.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just the correct way because it's real popular.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: Now you go into the garden center, you see them
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: for able to buy, which, by the way, still no
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: deckless nails, you need those, I know. But so the
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: correct way to release them, I'll tell you the correct way,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: and it's not the rule, but it is the most
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: probable way to keep them in your yard is number
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: one is that, like John said, you have to have
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: a problem. You have to have the you have to
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: have aphis. You have to have something for them to eat.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: You can't just release the lady else elsewhere they will
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: they will fly away. They got to go eat somewhere, right,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: So you're.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: Thinking of marketing, uh, lady bugs the way they do
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: with the package of ash.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Why not to get to keep the same time. But no,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: so they you have to have bugs for them to eat,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: you know. Number one, So don't just buy a lady
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: bug and just be like, oh, I'm going to release
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: them in my yard if you don't have a problem.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Number two is they tell you also that they want
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: the area to be kind of damp because again, food, water,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: They don't want them to have to travel too far.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: So it's nice if you water irrigate the area before
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: you release too, just so there's that. And they don't
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: need a fountain, and they just need dew some like
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: a heavy mist is all they really need.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: You don't want to release them, no, And then the.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Last thing too is that if you release them in
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: the evening, okay, at night time where it's one of
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: those things, hopefully they'll wake up in the morning, they'll
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: find water, they'll find food, and then they just stay.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah you know, but at least them in the day,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 5: they're just gonna take off.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: They're just gonna take off right away.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, so cooped up, let's leave.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: So they gotta have food, they gotta have water. And
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: if you release them at night, the goal is is
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: that when they wake up in the morning they have everything. Yeah,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: you know, they're just they just hang.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: Out waking up, yawning, looking around for something to eat.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what they do.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 5: Tanya and San Jose says that she last fall she
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: watched a praying manas like two egg cases. Wow, and
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: she wants to know when are the little ones gonna
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: come out? Keeps checking every day. So, well, you know,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 5: we're further south, so we're what maybe say, two to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: three weeks ahead of San Jose. Yeah, and I just
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: saw some baby praying man. Yeah, but so I would
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 5: say for for Tanya, maybe two to three weeks away,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 5: depending on the weather.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Right. But I will also say the hard thing about
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Praymanti's egg casings is that you have to check it
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: every day, meaning meaning you there's nothing.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if you missed one day, they're out and they're gone.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: In the egg casing looks the same.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: It's not like this change.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like not like a bird egg where
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh it cracked open and something went away.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: This is this foam style egg casing that is a
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: premantis egg. It doesn't change when the preme mantis release.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: So therefore, if you don't go out there every day
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: and check, you'll never really see the little babies. But
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: when they when you do see it, I mean there's hundreds,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: if not thousands of these little prim ants that are
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: just all over the place. It's it's spectacular and they
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: always have something well and that and that is something
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: too that people make the mistake with the buying a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: prime mants. They keep them in that little uh, you know,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: soup cup that they buy them in after they well,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: they keep them in there because they want to see
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: them hat. But if you leave them in there for
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: a day or two, then like John said, they just
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: eat each other and next thing you know, there's like
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: four left. Yeah exactly, the fittest survived well.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: And if she didn't mention that, Tanya says she does
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: check every day.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: Good yeah, because you know, but the cool thing about praimantis,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: what I heard too, is that they're very territorial. So
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: like once they kind of find their areas of their garden,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: I hear, you can kind of go back to that
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: area and you can find the same primantis in that
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: in that area pretty easily, which is kind of I
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: like that idea of having a pet.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: Praming Roonic in Spring Valley says that last week tiger.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: You mentioned a fertil on product that could help for
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 5: taking care of aphis and milton.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: I aphids and mildew, which I think is we.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: Talked about spring in the evening. I think was that
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: triple action.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: I think triple action. I really like this Spinosa's soap
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't really it's not really for mildew, but
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: it just is an an all all purpose thing. But
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: we were also talking about the rose and flour. Remember
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: the bay Or product.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: That's like, yeah, side that you talked about, you did
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: mention a specific fertile and product.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: I think it was triple action.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know some reason. I'm thinking of a number
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: like five.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, there's the fungicide five we mentioned also, Oh
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: that's just for but that's just for the fungal issues.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: That's like that. We were talking about it, like the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: serenade serenade replacement.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's what I read.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: I think triple action. And did you did you mention
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: spring in the evening? Talking with that makes sense?
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, oh yeah, triple action is also fungicide and insecticide. Yes,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: so I did mention the triple action problem.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 5: Leonor in Canyon Country says that she transplanted a tree
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: to the ground about two months ago, and it looks happy,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: it's full of flowers, but she gets some branches that
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 5: dry so that that dry out, and that's like three
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 5: or four.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: Sparadic through the plant. A tree. She just didn't say it,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: she said tree, just said a tree, A tree.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know sometimes that happens just uh, you know,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: as the trees adjusting to its its a new location
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 5: and growing area. Some trees self prune themselves, right, The
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 5: every branch that comes out in a tree doesn't stay
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: there forever. Yeah, you know, you will lose a few
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 5: as the tree tries to develop a scaffold and a
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 5: skeleton that it's gonna keeps its major structure, parts of
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: its major structure.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: And then the other thing too is people don't realize
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: like each each branch, each part of the tree is
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: also tied to a part of the actual roots, you know,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: so as a lime tree. So if you damage a
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: part of a root system when transplanting or something, you
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: don't the whole tree might be fine, but that one
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: branch that you like cut off that root to plant
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: it or that is affected by it now and and
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, you know, John comes from a
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: family of arborous where he's probably seen that where it's like,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: you know, people will try to be like, oh, can
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: you just cut this one root for me, right, like
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: because it's like a sidewalk or something.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: That sounds like a central nervous system.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're like, yeah, it can cut that, but
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: you might see a whole branch just go away night.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 5: If the wood comes from the other direction. Might over
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: a lot of people forget that besides feeding a tree,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 5: A huge function of roots, a root system is stay
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 5: anchor the tree.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so I mean I think, like what you said, John,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: it's probably just a little bit transplant shock or you're
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: saying like scaffolding like structure. But if but if she
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: did when planting it, like take it out of a
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: pot and maybe you know, broke some roots that might
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: have caused it as well.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 5: So I would just it's not going to hurt on
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: a lime tree to just cut those branches stuff.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: And I told you about my lime tree that I
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: tried to kill multiple times in my yard and it's flourishing,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: so they're very hardy.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: You take it out, that'll kill it. If I was
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: take it out, just remove it.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: I tried.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: You can't.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: You can't kill it. Lime trees are really why don't
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: you have.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: A lime tree killing party, bring people over with you know,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: hatchets and poison pitchforks, and yeah, dance a little ceremony
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: around it.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: Isn't there a round up product made for lime tree
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: just right?
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Because nothing else will kill it? Well that that is
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: a funny thing. You know. People think, you know, these herbicides,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: you know, like round up kill everything.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: They don't.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Well they don't. And you know, and then you got nutgrass,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: which you could pour like bleach and diesel fuel and
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: everything on it. You have to have that specific product
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: for nuts grass killer, and the right round up kills nutgrass. What, Yeah,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: it controls it, really, Yeah, the old round up for
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: the new round Yeah, the old rounded.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 5: The old round up dinner mark, even at the heavier delution.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Even at Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure undeluded, like just
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: not that I'm questioning you, but it doesn't know and
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: you do and you know what though, I'm speaking from experience.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 5: Really yeah, yeah, I don't know if I've ever had
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 5: much of a problem with nut grass.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: No, You're lucky. I told you it's worse than getting
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: nutgrass in a flower bed.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 5: I had a customer come into when I was working
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: in the garden centers. A customer come in and brought
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 5: in some nutgrass and he wanted to know what to
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: do to control it. And he says, what is this
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: and how do I get rid of it? Good move,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 5: I said, and I go, well, it's nut grass and
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: it's hard to control.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: He goes, well, what is it? That's nut grass?
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 5: And I said that like three times and finally screams
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 5: at me.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: I know it's not grass.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: What is it?
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: Hey, we're going to take a break on that note. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: it's driving me nuts, That's what it is. Okay, Final
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: SEGMA coming up next. Don Gardiner, alright, this is one
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: of the quarter seconds.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 6: This is.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: Final Final, Secondary final countdown.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: If did you want to mention next week, guest, we
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: are going to be going full steam May into June.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: So we're going to take a little break next week,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: take the week off and prepare because then it's non stop.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: You American group have to regroup.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: Getting me I can understand.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: We still we'll still have our meetings.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you saw the impact of our pre production meetings.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: Got us off to a fantastic start.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Why not really prepared?
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, so there we go.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: Uh. Continuing with our talk from last segment, Carlo says
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 5: that she's got her had to uh move her Mandarin
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: out of the ground and into its spot, okay, and
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 5: she had to cut some of the big roots. So
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 5: again to compensate for the root cutting, Carla also cut
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 5: out some of the branch. Yep, you know, one of
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 5: the things I'm not sure of, Tiger, and maybe you
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: know better. I always cut things back if I transplant them,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 5: you know, so there's less room for transpiration, so the
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 5: tree's not going to dry out. But I always used
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: to cut the tops of the trees back and.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: And I think that the.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 5: The tips of the trees are where the oxens that
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: promote root growth are. So if you cut off all
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: those is going to take a while for the tree
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: to start producing its rooting hormone.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: So you know, yeah, that is very true. Where it's
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: that balance of what you cut out and when you leave,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: because there are very important parts of the tree that
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: actually you know, need to be there to produce you know,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: all the energy and growth and absorb light and things
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: like that. And so usually what I've been told to
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: do is kind of like your classic pruning techniques. So
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: number one, remove any dead growth or crossing branches when
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: you do it, because those should just go anyways, no
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: matter what you do. And then not remove the top growth,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: but remove some of the older like inner growth, because
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: also sometimes that's not doing the work, like you know
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: mentioned John for the plant anymore. It's just older there
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: and it's not doing the it's not doing the brunt
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: of the work for the tree. You know, that new
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: growth that is actually doing the brunt of the work.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: I mean they said something like, you know, when you
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: have like an old leaf on a tree, it might
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: only be doing ten to fifteen percent of you know,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: the whole transparration Floro filled all of that kind of
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: stuff for the tree, where the new growth is doing
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: seventy five percent of the actual work. So you want
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: to leave that because that's where the tree is now
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: getting it, you know, from it's energy, it's it's air
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: and all of that. So yeah, I don't I would
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: just recommend doing the old growth and inner growth when
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: you're doing that bruning back, you know, and then if
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: you have to remove roots when transplanting or putting into
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: a pot. The HB one oh one is super important.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: I think you know. Also any kind of good like
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: little fertilizer, when you're doing that, it's just gonna help
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: because it just helps minimize some of that shock.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 5: That B one does nothing. So if you're putting in
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 5: B one, don't think you're doing anything.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: Just prior to letting people know we're not going to
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 5: be here next week, there was a post from Tanyam
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 5: Santa saying she said, I may miss the show next week.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 5: She's I'm going to be at the Cactus and Succulent
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: Society of America's convention in San DIEGOAH, and she's hoping
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 5: to visit Mission Hill's nursery. Well, she's down there.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: We hope if you do and enjoy your visit.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, let Tiger know what time he'll buy you breakfast.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, shoot me a message on you meet up.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 4: Meet and greet at Mission Hills Nursery.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 5: Carlo uh is supporting you, Tiger, all right, he said,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 5: not grass, nothing kills. She has a whole section of
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 5: her yard. They just mow it like grass.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 5: It's not a bad line actually, but it's impossible to
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: keep reading.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: And like I say, like the worst situation for it
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: is in a pernial or like a flower bed because
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: you can't get it and get in there and you
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: can't get in there. Yeah, in a lawn, it's actually
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: not bad, like you just mow it.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 5: Like she doesn't grow faster than the lawn.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: It grows way faster. But I mean, you know it's
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: just green. It's great, a lighter green.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it has been studies done. Like first
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: of all, why does it grow so fast? And why
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: is it so tenacious? You can't get rid of it?
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: What is it about?
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: Nodules? What's that? Nodules?
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: Nodules nuts, it's all about called.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 5: Nut grass because there's these little tiny nutty nodules in
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 5: the soil and if you you pull it, go to
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 5: pull it up, those break off and start new plants.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: And the foliage is really glossy green, very strappy, and
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: so it's just a hearty, hardy plant.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 5: Well, what about the old product that was on the
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: market called nut grass Nihilator that works?
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: It works, Yeah, nut a product, yep, they do. What's
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: there called nut grass killer grass killer. Yeah, there's there's
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: sedge hammer, nutgrass nihilator sedge hammer.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: That's a good thing, shammer.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then the nut grass. I think it's called
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: nut grass killer, nut grass roll or from fertilo, but
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: they're all the same chemical. I can't remember what what
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: it is, but it's proven. The nice thing about it
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: is a lot of those products for nut grass they
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: only kill nutgrass.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: My next question was if you do have it in
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: your your plants and your flower beds, you can spray
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: everything and it would just kill the net grass.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of them. A lot of them do so,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: which is which does make it nice in that way
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: that it takes a very specific chemical to kill it.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: So you you know, I know for lawns, they have
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of products that kill the nutgrass.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, we have one minute, one minute in counting.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 5: Oh gee, well I just quickly Rickett said, wanted to
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 5: know if we have any of the native oak trees
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 5: down here that he used to have when he was
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 5: in the San Gabriel Valley.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: What do we have coast live oak?
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not as many trees up in that area.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think we have nearly
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: as many. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, guys, I guess that's it now once again. Because
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: Tanya is not going to be at home next weekend.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: She's coming to San Diego. We're going to take the
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: day off just for her, but no, seriously. Then we're
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: back with a marathon just about every weekend May into June.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: Lots of guests lined up, so it'll be kind of
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: a prelude to summer exactly.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: That's what we'll call it.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: May is our month looked at summer.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 5: Sounds like a composition, isn't it musical composition?
• 1:18:27
