Talking Trees with John Eisenhower of Integrity Tree Service

The tree of the month is the Sweet Acacia Tree. Produces sweet scent blooms, rather small tree. Dark green leaf, dark brown bark.

Prune your citrus tree prudently. Don’t over prune to expose the bark skin to sunlight. Could lead to sunburn.

John will teach classes on tree care at Desert Botanical Gardens

Mulch suggestions for your trees. Rake up those falling leaves and start a compost pile.

Keep the mulch around the base of your tree to 1 to 2 inch layer. Don’t bury the trunk.

The mulch should be away from the base a bit, not up against the tree base.

CALLER: Looking for a low maintenance tree that can take full sun, provide shade and little mess. Acacia Aneura & Texas Live Oak.

TEXT ?: Where to find tulle fabric to keep birds out of trees.

Sal Sacado of DunRite Windows & Doors gets deep into details about replacing and installing windows and doors for residental homes.

Sal prefers 3 types of windows to install: fiberglass, fibrex or aluminum clad.

Fiberglass frames comes in various colors, stable, and resistant to UV.

More details on fibrex and aluminum clad windows.

Discussion on glazing packages. You don’t necessarily need different glazing on windows depending on what parts of the home get more or less heat.

U factor: how much heat going out during the winter months. Solar heat gain factor: how much heat is transfering thru the glass. UV factor is the amount of heat reflecting off the glass.

There are many styles of installations. Stucco frame home example: little to no painting, stucco cut back and painting. Sal’s ‘jumping of the frame’ is his least favorite.

Maximum glass area means replacing the entire window. Sal explains the technique.

What to look for if there are water leaks around the window frame.

More deep discussion on installation details.

Condensation in your window doesn’t mean you need to replace the entire window. A good glass company can replace the glass and fix the issue.
