0:00.0	Hi, everybody, it's Joe.
0:02.0	Today is the second of two encore episodes with Basil Camus that I picked for you.
0:06.7	This episode is timely and highly applicable to most of you, no matter what your winter weather is like.
0:13.2	Because even though this conversation is titled and mostly about winter tree care, the proactive part, what we can do between right now and early
0:22.1	October and before the winter weather hits. Well, that's a big part of why I wanted to
0:27.0	replay this conversation today. While there's still some time to assess the trees under our
0:33.0	watch and over our roof, I really listened to this one before committing it as the encore. And there's so much
0:40.5	good tree care wisdom in this conversation. It doesn't matter if you live in a place that never
0:45.2	gets cold. Suffice it to say, if you have trees, this will be a good one to listen to. So here
0:51.1	it is, and I hope you enjoy.
0:58.0	Hi, everybody. This is Joe Lampel, the Joe Behind Joe Gardner, and welcome to the Joe Gardner show. Today, I am talking with one of my newer guest who we've had on the podcast

1:13.9	He is a master-certified arborist.
1:15.9	An incredible book from wasteland to wonder.
1:18.8	You'll hear more about that later in the podcast.
1:21.5	Basil is such a wealth of knowledge and so giving with his information and he's so articulate with how he communicates. I wanted to talk to
1:29.3	him today with this time of year being winter and snow and ice and the risk of tree damage,
1:36.2	it's also the best time to maintain a tree for structural pruning or care of the trees. So I wanted
1:43.2	to go there with Basil on those two topics and
1:45.6	see where it goes from there. And it did. It's a great conversation with lots of information.
1:51.0	So that's what we have in store for you today. So let's get into it. And as we do, thanks to our
1:55.4	sponsors for today's episode, territorial seed and the ultimate gardening sheath. If you still need to order your garlic, now's the time. And Territorial Seed has you covered.
