Have you ever been driving through a neighborhood and thought this place just feels right?
We bet it has to do with all of the mature trees. Trees offer shade in the summer, beautiful colors in the fall, and solid structure in the winter. Plus, they provide much of the oxygen, we as humans, need.
On this episode, we’ll meet Arthur Morris, a Board-Certified Arborist. He’ll show us how to care for our trees, including how to identify disease or tree damage, advice on tree health and care, expert pruning, and much, much more.
Joe, also, talks about one of the most harmful pruning practices, tree topping, and the reason behind why people feel they need to cut their trees so severely.
Chef Nathan Lyon shows us a delicious way to use the edible fruits that trees produce with his Peach Chutney recipe.

Just saw this on TV dose an exelent job explaining good practices the public can understand. Thank you for putting the word out. Remember a local arborist is always less expensive than a hospital bill or repairing property damage.
Thanks Matthew. Good point about the investment of an arborist vs. the expense and more of a hospital visit.
Thank you, Jeff. Excellent video
Awesome info packed video! Touched on key points that are easy to understand and retain for future reference. I not only love trees, but the awesome life I live in the trees! Thanks, Jeff.
