1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: All right, back at it we go. And this is 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: the time every week where we talk to Ron Wilson 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: and get his tidbits on what's going on on the 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: outside of the house, whether it's a gardening, not much, 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: where we're at landscaping, pruning, and his sidekick Scott Berline. 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna ask Scott a question. Is that all right? Ron? 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: Go ahead, mister Shelman. 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: You're so bad, Scott. I heard you during the show 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: with Ron. You were talking about spring pruning, and I 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: think you mentioned that you felt that was one of 11 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: the more important prunings of the year. Can you kind 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: of just help my listeners on what should be prune 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: and you know, maybe a quick how to prune? 14 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 3: Boy, that's a big question. It's to me, it's the 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 3: most enjoyable time of year to prune, because it's one 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 3: of the things you can really do this time of year. 17 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 3: And it is the time to prune woody plants. You've 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 3: got to be careful with the flowering ones, the ones 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 3: on old wood that are that they're going to bloom. 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 3: Actually on new wood, you know, the lilacs and things 21 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: like that. You don't want to prune off the blooms 22 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 3: right now fiburnams. So you want to look at those 23 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: lists and see, uh, which are the ones that you 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 3: want to avoid bruning this time of year and get 25 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: you know, go prune immediately after they bloom. Later on, 26 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 3: you want to make sure your your pruning cuts are correct. 27 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: That's one of the more important things. And you can 28 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 3: find that online through extension service websites. Uh, those are 29 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 3: usually the best places to look for that. 30 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: Ron has always taught me, just don't go cutting the 31 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 1: tops off like some wild man. 32 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: I've always taught you the gold rule of thumb. The thumb, 33 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: oh Scott was, well, you don't cut your thumb off 34 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: first and foremost. If it flowers in the spring, prune 35 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: it after it's finished flowering. If it flowers in the summer, 36 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: prune it in the spring before it starts to grow. 37 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: And I think I have two different types of hindrangas 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: that one does one and one does the other. 39 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: And that's why hydrangeas are very confusing to a lot 40 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: of people. So you need to ask because some flower, 41 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: like Scott was saying, on old wood, and some flower 42 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 2: on new wood. And if you get rid of the 43 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: old wood, you just took care of the flowers. As 44 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 2: a matter of fact, my neighbor has a oaklea phydrangia, 45 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: and it's a little bit overgrown and I'm gonna do 46 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: a little clipping on it. But I also forewarned her 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: that a little bit of clipping to reduce it, which 48 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: we need to do. So we're just going to sacrifice 49 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: some of the flowers. She won't have as many flowers 50 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: this year as she will next year because it flowers 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 2: on growth from older wood. So as I cut that back, 52 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: we're going to eliminate a few flowers. Not a big deal, 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: but yeah, but as a general rule of thumb, that's 54 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: where Scott's coming from. Evergreens, you want to prune them 55 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: before they start to grow. I mean basically that's yep, 56 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 2: you know, doing them that too. But you know, yeah, 57 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: any time between now and they start to grow, it 58 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: was a great time to prune. 59 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: A lot of people will tell you not to hedge, 60 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: you know, go out there and just hedge things, But honestly, 61 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 3: there are certain plants where you just unless you want 62 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: to spend all day, unless you likes hedging, well, then 63 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: doing hedges a lot. Yeah, uh, you know, like box woods. 64 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: I am not going to spend the time talk about 65 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: with the most quiet hedge. Uh cut her out there. 66 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. So so it's you can get by 67 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: with that to a degree. Eventually maybe it catches up 68 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: with you. Do either one of you have like your 69 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: we got about a minute. A favorite pruner I should get. 70 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: As far as brand, yeah or type even bypass pruners 71 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: I passed, don't do it. Don't do animals. 72 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: And I think they call them Japanese pole saws for 73 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: the small smaller branches, very sharp teeth that that that 74 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: cut on the pole rather than forward motion, and and 75 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: those are super easy to use. You do need to 76 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: be careful. You can do a number on yourself with those, 77 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: but great tool. 78 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: I've even seen what looks like a giant scissors. 79 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: What looks like a giant scissors A little yes, well 80 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: you know what. I carry the dram scissor ones around 81 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: with me for all dead heading and for the herbs 82 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 2: and things like that. So there's all different guys. But 83 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 2: it's a bypass. 84 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: Still, okay, So yeah, it would be a buck passes. 85 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: It would excellent.
