WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:04.519 Good morning, and welcome to the Green Country Gardener Program 2 00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:07.360 right here on K one. Hey, I'm fourteen hundred, FM 3 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.519 ninety three point three and FM ninety five point one. 4 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.839 The Green Country Gardner Program with our expert Larry Glass, 5 00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.920 is brought to you by Green Glum Nursery and Greenhouses, United, Reynolds, 6 00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:26.079 Kelly Banks, Tree Service, Roman's Outdoor Power, Accent, Pest Control, Ascension, 7 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:42.880 Saint John, Jane Phillips, and Gateway First Bank. And good morning, 8 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.000 good morning, morning, Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Green Country 9 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.280 Gardener Program. I'm Tom, He's Larry Glass. He's our expert. 10 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.280 You can reach us at one eight hundred seven four 11 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:58.880 nine five ninety three six. Hey, Larry, I hear it's 12 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:00.000 gonna rail a little bit. 13 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.560 I'll believe that one I get wet. 14 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.799 Okay, okay, I've been looking at the radar and we 15 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:07.840 got a big. 16 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.920 Street is going up in Kansas right now. 17 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.040 Well, right now it is. You're right, but moving moving 18 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:13.719 in our direction. 19 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.239 I would say, are we going to have another case 20 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:18.319 of the flood of eighty six? 21 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.879 Are we? I don't know, I don't know. I wasn't 22 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.480 here for that, And you tell me that that was 23 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:26.040 a mess. 24 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:26.840 It was. 25 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.239 You could not get downtown. It's the time it's it's 26 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.640 looking at it rainy way up under there. Oh that's 27 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.959 in the Candy River floodplain up there. 28 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.879 Yeah, we're hooking around right now. It's kind of arcing 29 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.120 back to the north of Barble. We took a look 30 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.760 at our train County Tech Interactive radar, and we see 31 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.760 this great, big chunk of a train. I guess you 32 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.680 would call it of a thunderstormselves, which are right there 33 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.200 into the Texas Panhandle, coming right up to the little 34 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.920 crook of our panhandle, just between Gayments south southeast of 35 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.359 there you go, and then it goes all the way 36 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.519 up to around Wichita, and it starts coming back. And 37 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.480 we got a little tip of it over there in 38 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.719 the county because it makes it mark over us. So 39 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.800 it's kind of looked. 40 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:16.680 Like it's not going to here. Okay, it's at Barlowsfield Brilliance. 41 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:18.919 It deflects all the rain away. 42 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.680 Well at this point in time, it is, but you 43 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.039 give it about a day. I think we might might 44 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:26.159 have another story. 45 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:32.319 Okay, well that's what they're saying. But anyway, I think 46 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.599 we're supposed to have scattered showers in eighty six and 47 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:36.800 the sky just opened up. 48 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:41.000 And that's what happened in eighty six, Yes, scattered showers 49 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.479 and the next thing you know, monsoon's here. I think 50 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.759 there's people traversing Cherokee and and Frank Phillips in a 51 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:53.039 boat and your daughter's going, look, Daddy, moukows. 52 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.039 We were living in Woodland Park at the time, and 53 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.199 some of the cows, I guess, ran that way and 54 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.759 looking for they ran up Hillside Drive and up Woodland Road. 55 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.159 There it's move kind of wandering around. 56 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.280 Oh so, what what does a big rain like that 57 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.759 do for our lawn in our garden and our trees, 58 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.560 because I imagine they're thirsty. But can we handle all 59 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:19.319 of that at once? 60 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.639 Well, the lawn itself will be okay, it's pretty much 61 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:29.960 a matted knitted map of vegetation, except that dry that well, 62 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.919 it's just somewhat less associated as it was. We might 63 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.319 have some erosion difficulties, and especially if you have a 64 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.919 steep lawn, we might have a bit of erosion problem too. 65 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.879 So hopefully we've been able to maintain our lawns at 66 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.319 least in a minimal state. Mine is just just very 67 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.240 kind of tinging a little bit green right now because 68 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.759 I really not watered it too much. Concentrate more on 69 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.120 the trees and shrubs around the house, and also keeping 70 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:01.280 the foundation of the house the moisture pretty much constantly 71 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.400 sure around the house too, just so we don't have 72 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:07.360 this cracking issues. So that's always a very important thing, 73 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.240 is uh. And that's probably why we've started this tradition 74 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.759 of putting plants around the house and that well, no, 75 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.160 none of that, but it gives you a visual view 76 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.000 of the condition of the soil down below and that 77 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.680 left and oh my god, my plants, and they watered them, 78 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:27.639 and he keeps the moishoe level up around the house. 79 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.199 It doesn't have in tendency to crack, especially in our 80 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.319 soil here when it when. 81 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.800 It when it cracks, you got these big gaping cracks. 82 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.560 You stick your hand down and you look. 83 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:43.800 Down in there you can see like molten lava. 84 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:50.920 So heated gas coming up out of the ground. But anyway, 85 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:56.199 so yeah, not much you can do at this point. Really. 86 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.279 If you do have, say a drain in the backyard 87 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.680 or a gutter drains or something, make sure they're pretty clear. Also, 88 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.199 we put a lot of those in when we put 89 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.759 them in, we oversize the pipe, so it carries debris 90 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:11.879 easily out and you have to have to slope it 91 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.319 properly too, at least a two percent slope at very 92 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.519 least to carry the water out. 93 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.720 We simple physics, folks. You don't want the water in. 94 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:22.240 Yeah, you want to do it. 95 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.000 We redid a drain in a house in Glenwood this 96 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.720 this summer, and when we dug up the pipe, it 97 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:30.879 was actually going uphill. 98 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.319 For one Oh no, this can't work. 99 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.360 Or got the transit out and we're able to calculate 100 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:42.759 a proper slope. And then we got our enclinometer, which 101 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.000 is a very simple tool. It's a ten foot long 102 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.639 piece of pipe with a level attached to it, and 103 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.639 then whatever percentage you want, you take the divide that 104 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.560 by forty eight to get your percent and they'll tell 105 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.120 you how thick a shim to put on that level. Sure, 106 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.839 so you've got this level in the middle of this pipe, 107 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:03.920 and one edge of it is right on the pipe, 108 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:05.519 another one is shimmed up and down. 109 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.279 That gives your pipe a slope, and you put. 110 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.879 That in your trench and you follow that through and 111 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.199 then it gives you your proper slope about going up 112 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:13.600 pillow down. 113 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.319 No, none of this clam. 114 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:20.600 Guessing Yeah, looks hard. That held me, you know, So 115 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.480 that's a good way to determine a slope. Also, when 116 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.600 we do grading, critical grading, we do the same methodology. 117 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.959 And right now there's a building code going on. We're 118 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.079 six feet out from the house. It has to be 119 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.560 ten inches below the floor elevation when you build a house. 120 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.920 So hopefully no more of these houses of water just 121 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.240 rushing right up to the house and you know, flooding it. 122 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:50.480 So it's just simple. You know, water runs downhill like 123 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.199 many think, and it has to have some incentive to 124 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.000 get there. So it's a good idea to grade your 125 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.439 yard accordingly. And if you're looking for i'll seem to 126 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.879 see one that's kind of low, then well you might 127 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.759 have to introduce some energy into the equation. We've had 128 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.959 to do this on several occasions where you have to 129 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.639 put a drain and a and a some pump, and 130 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.920 some pumps aren't really that expensive. Really, it's not that 131 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.519 big of an issue if you do have to put 132 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.360 one in. And there are some houses here in town 133 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.680 that we've come across that there's no other solution because 134 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.639 there's no slope, no place for the water to get out, 135 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.079 So you have to enter some energy into the equation 136 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.600 in the forum of electricity, which runs a pump which 137 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.439 effectively defies gravity to get don't forget to put a 138 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.680 big old check bawball so the water doesn't go back in. 139 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.920 So anyway, there are ways to deal with water, impoort, drainage, 140 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.800 and not that difficult to do. It's pretty pretty well 141 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.120 logical as far as making water go down. 142 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.319 Hill, there we go. So also we pour a patio. 143 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:02.879 Or something, make sure you've got a you know, one 144 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.000 percent slope on it, and so etcetera, etcetera, just so 145 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.319 the water gets away from I've seen so many houses 146 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.480 where the water just sits for days after it rains, 147 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.680 and then you go a little bit past it and 148 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.399 there's a slope going downhill for the water to go away. 149 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.480 You can't get there, No, it can't. It's the greatest 150 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.040 it goes. 151 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.879 Down, got a lot of worms floating in it. 152 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.680 And another fact you need to consider is the neighbor's 153 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:34.200 house too. You don't want to cause a problem, but sorry, 154 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.720 well my yard drain I don't care about yours, you know, 155 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.679 you want to make sure it's directed somewhere where it 156 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.320 doesn't it like towards the street. 157 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.080 Towards the street, that's a really good place to get 158 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.440 to it. You have storm drains usually in there. 159 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.960 We did a project that involved this last month of 160 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.720 retaining wall and a field drain, and we brought it 161 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.399 out to the street. I gave the customer two options 162 00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.759 to just jump it straight out or check carrying on out, 163 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.120 and she chose to go out to the street, to 164 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.519 the curb and hope he doesn't get into the neighbor's yard. 165 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:06.559 So that's a good thing. 166 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:08.759 Neighborly about this stuff. 167 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.799 Yeah, taking advantage a good things. 168 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.639 And a lot of developments are are designed to carry. 169 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.559 Water stay between the houses or between the back of 170 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.440 the houses and carried on down away. And we moved 171 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.840 into our current house, the neighbor came up to me 172 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.720 and says, I hope you don't mind my water coming 173 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.960 into your property. Person before here, you got real mad 174 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.639 because my water is coming into his yard. That total well, 175 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:39.559 it's engineered, it's designed to do that. Yeah, so no, don't. 176 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:44.399 Worry about it. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. 177 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.879 See he went to school, he knows things stuff. He 178 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:49.679 went to the College of College. 179 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:53.320 So that's it. With rainage. 180 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.200 I say, if you live in a little linerea back 181 00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:01.799 up your hard drive. Well, anyway, that kind of leads 182 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.639 us into fall that's coming up. We've got some color 183 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.480 coming on the trees, and there's several trees that have 184 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.679 more tendency to have color than others. And makes you 185 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.000 wonder what causes fall color. 186 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.679 What causes fall colors? 187 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.279 Well, it reacts to the length of day. 188 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:21.840 It gets shorter, and these plants they have hormones and 189 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.240 it makes it soak up the carbs, pushes them down 190 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.240 to the root and leaves cyanathins and leaves, and those 191 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:36.080 at the sanatins are the pigmentation that's left over that 192 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.399 stays in the leaf that the tree actually finds useless 193 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:46.320 except for filtering light and focusing light and so enhancing photosynthesis. 194 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.879 So that's and the degree of sanathans in the leaf 195 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.960 has an effect on what the color that the thing 196 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.320 is too. And if it's really cool at night, we 197 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:01.320 have more intense colors that happened this year. Look out there, 198 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.240 he's brown. 199 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.559 Yeah, basic brown. 200 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:05.360 Yeah. 201 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.159 I don't see the flaming reds or anything. 202 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.320 Not really. 203 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:11.279 Lightning gold. 204 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.559 Look at a lot of the trees out over here. 205 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:19.039 Still have leaves on them, and this look, well, well 206 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.720 the rain we're having might be the saving grace for 207 00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:22.639 some tall color. 208 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:26.559 So well that we'll give up the ghost yet. 209 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.840 And then then the trees take that the carbohydrates and 210 00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.519 the car fell and whatever. 211 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:37.639 It goes down to the to. 212 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.399 The root of the tree and it's stored for the 213 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.480 winter and it no longer uses the leaves and they absist. 214 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.840 And sometimes if we have a real early early freeze, 215 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:52.159 the absision layer is not is rendered ineffective because of 216 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.879 because of the cold. And this is what happened last year. 217 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.799 We had an early freeze and a lot of the 218 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.480 leaves stayed on the tree. They did, oh Japanese maples, 219 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.639 and a lot of the oaks, and some of the maples, 220 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.879 the leaves in hackberries whatnot. 221 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.799 If you can call out of trees, it's more of 222 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:10.320 a mess. 223 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:14.039 But anyway, the leaves persisted on the tree because the 224 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.759 opposition layer froze out. 225 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.480 It was not it was not allowed to function. 226 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:22.919 So the leaves stayed on the tree for a long time, 227 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.720 and a lot of a lot of the Japanese Maples 228 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.240 people thought they were dead. Well not really, It's just 229 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.799 that it got too cold too early and it didn't 230 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.159 absence and they didn't fall off. 231 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.879 So there's a lot of dead leaves and the. 232 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:46.120 Oklahoma yeah anyway, So that explains why we don't sometimes 233 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.480 we don't have good fall color is because that layer 234 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:53.559 is not permitted to form and it cuts off essentially 235 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.360 the absorption of some chemicals and the leaves too, and 236 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.679 it makes the leaves a red color and then it 237 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.159 falls off when we on to get enough cold to 238 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:01.840 snap it off. 239 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.799 There you go. The more you know science right here 240 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:05.480 on the radio. 241 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.759 You bet it's very complicated. 242 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.440 Well thanks for breaking it in for even a simple 243 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:11.679 guy like me can understood. 244 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:14.120 It's very beautiful, very beautiful.

Well, 303 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:12.960 first thing I'd like to consider is just put the 304 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.279 tree to work somehow. Oh good, either either frame the 305 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:20.080 property or give you some shade somewhere, some relief from 306 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:23.799 our summer heat. Did we have any summer heat this 307 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:25.960 year at Yeah. 308 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.480 We had a little. I came down here for that 309 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:32.200 go to a global warming to burn up like a cinder, 310 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.000 and that turned your head. 311 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:34.240 This is normal? 312 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.480 What summer here? What is this? Is not unusual? 313 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.240 We had this this winter or summer rather, But anyway, 314 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.440 they do give you some some afternoon shade. I know, 315 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.639 I've got a pistache tree on the west side. 316 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:48.320 Of my driveway. When I come home from work. It 317 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:53.480 shades the truck a lot of good. That does, because 318 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.919 I'm not in it, you know. But anyway, so. 319 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.159 And uh, on the west side of the house, you 320 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.680 can plant some trees do good to shave the house. 321 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.880 But you have to keep in mind things like utilities, 322 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:16.400 sewer lines, water lines, gas lines, things great, all this 323 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.559 other stuff you got to be careful of. Now, typically 324 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.200 in front of the house there's a fifteen foot easement. 325 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.119 So if you plant a tree in that area, well, 326 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:28.000 they can do whatever they want because it's in it 327 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.000 right away. So you want to be careful not to 328 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.759 put it in an easement. And then you have the 329 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.039 water line coming into the house. You want to know 330 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.720 where that is and you can usually tell the water 331 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.920 meter it's straight going into the house. You want to 332 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.160 avoid that. Unless you have a tree that's shallow roaded, 333 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:48.400 it's okay. But because typically by code they have to 334 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.440 be twenty four or thirty six, it'shes deep water lanes. Dude, 335 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:54.960 some of these plumbers get real proud or like six 336 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.720 feet but anyway, so you want to try to avoid that. 337 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.960 And by all means, dude, try to avoid the stewer 338 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.319 line because a root going underneath a stewer line can 339 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.000 lift it up out of the ground. And next thing 340 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.480 you know, you have to have like ten plungersing moving 341 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:15.039 if you will. 342 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:20.839 So nowhere, all that stuff is before you locate a tree. 343 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.200 And if somebody's coming to plant the tree, they all 344 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.319 they get is their information from you. You need to 345 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.599 tell them where to put it just so and then 346 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.519 we can advise. Otherwise I've had to do that and 347 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.200 said no, we can't put one their wives. 348 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.599 There's a water meater right, or there's. 349 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.680 A telephone line or something we have to avoid that, 350 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:42.400 or it's center ride away. 351 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.079 I don't recommend that in a ride away, or I don't. 352 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.359 Recommend it within fifteen feet of power lines, et cetera, 353 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.880 et cetera. So, if you do have a situation where 354 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.519 you're kind of confronted with an area where you don't 355 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.640 have much room to put a tree, you might consider 356 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.599 a tree that's what we call fastigiated, okay, upright, narrow, 357 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.960 upright growing good. Example, there's some elms that are narrow 358 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:08.920 and upright. There's oak English joke, it's narrow and upright. 359 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.799 The pinnok initially is narrow and upright, but it with 360 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.319 age it kind of loses that factor. It turns into 361 00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:23.240 a giant tree. So you might pick out a right, 362 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.279 or specify a variety of tree that is narrow and 363 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.640 upright in a situation where that, or you could choose 364 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.599 a smaller tree such as a red bud, or if 365 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:38.200 the situation is favorable, a dogwood tree.
