Just got done killing time while skiing in Taos. Great to take time off when you have work coming in. Lots of work right now with people wanting oaks trimmed before March.
 
March 1st????

Seems the never-ending onslaught of expert advice from our venerated TFS boys got to the Kendall county and surrounding gullible areas...."the vectors emerge on exactly February 1st".

Complete insanity. Reminds me of the lady doctor at the Pentagon last night on 60 MINUTES talking about the quality of the gas masks for the troops - lying breaucratic whore.

I have to roll-up my sleeves and counter with some knowledgable field examinations - anytime you drive at sundown and no insect finds himself a squashed obstruction to your view out the windscreen, it's safe to wound. It's been a rapid succession of below-freezing evenings.

Observations of the Natidulid from ONE study using ONE trap that caught ONE bug seven years ago is like the guy who brought me a can of spray paint (matched with heartwood tint of course) while I was removing his complete stand of three-year-dead oaks. He told me he was told to seal ALL wounds. TFS.

Another fellow who is called "Dr." (a cardiac surgeon) had told me he was curing oak wilt because he had 2,000 feet of trenches cut. I asked..."Wha???" He just got done doing what TFS had told him to.....to "cure" his problem. All his trees were two years dead and no neighbors within one mile.

There's a plethora of utter B.S. being spread around here. No wonder it's a friggin epidemic. What works in your area?

Good you got to the mountains. Now it's time to roll up your sleeves again, like out here in the land of bureaucratic crap.
 
It is an epidemic of misinformation. Here in Austin, almost every homeowner is an armchair - oak wilt expert. If you don't paint one dime-sized wound, their tree is going to get oak wilt and die. Yeah, right.

How come squirrels that chew and sometimes girdle branches are not at vector? How about 14 foot tall trash trucks wounding every tree on the street??

It is funny how many want the work to be done before March 1st. Feb 28th is ok though. Last I checked, it already looks like spring. The post oaks and live oaks are already flowering (ha chu!)

Gotta run, the first is coming.
