From YouTube: Property owners encouraged to band trees in November
Description
Assistant City Arborist Laurie Reid Dukes explains how to band a tree to protect against cankerworms.
A
To
banditry
four
cankerworm
there's
several
supplies
that
you'll
need
one
of
the
most
important
things
is
you
want
to
have
a
pair
of
disposable
gloves
the
material
that
you're
gonna
put
on
the
sticky
material
is
very
sticky,
so
you
want
something
you
can
take
off
and
be
able
to
throw
away.
The
first
part
that
you're
gonna
need
that
you're
gonna
place
on
the
tree
is
either
a
roll
of
cotton,
batting
or
pipe
insulation.
That's
gonna
go
on
the
tree.
A
First,
you
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
getting
any
little
cracks
or
crevices,
because
that
female
moth
could
crawl
behind
this
cut
this
batting
material.
So
you
do
want
it
to
be
nice
and
secure
in
there,
so
she
can't
get
behind
here
after
you
have
that
cotton
batting
up.
You
want
to
get
some
plastic
wrap
and
you
can
buy
this
at
any
kind
of
moving
type
store.
A
The
consistency
of
the
tanglefoot
is
kind
of
like
caramel,
very,
very
sticky.
If
it's
a
really
cold
day
when
you're
banding
your
trees,
you
might
want
to
warm
it
up
a
little
bit
either
you
can
stick
it
in
the
Sun
or
you
can
put
it
in
the
microwave
for
just
a
couple
seconds.
You
can
either
get
a
disposable
cutting
knife
or
one
that
you
can
wash
off
when
you're
done
and
then
you'll
just
dip
the
tanglefoot
in
and
spread
it
across
that
black
plastic
wrap.
That's
on
the
side
of
the
tree.
