Our guest this morning on Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem is Kenny Phillips, certified arborist with Davey Tree company.  Davey is our go-to source for up-to-date, less toxic expert tree care; they are a national company but it is employee owned; the employees bought out the founding Davey family back in 1979.   There are several offices around the Bay Area where listeners can arrange for an arborist to come out and evaluate a tree at no charge (some conditions apply).

Kenny spent the better part of the hour with us talking about several aspects of tree care and lifecycle management.  Also discussed are a variety of options for dealing with post-use Christmas trees.  We also took a call or two from the audience, with questions for Kenny.
