The financial crisis of 2008 changed everything! Everyone remembers and many were deeply affected. When the market crashed, taking with it many people’s only source of livelihood, it became immensely clear the investment industry was fundamentally flawed. Brokers and fund managers prioritized the size of their commissions over the security of their clients’ futures and, as a result, our country experienced a true financial disaster.

This tragedy was the inspiration for me to start Platinum Wealth Advisory with one primary simple goal: Truly take care of people’s futures!

Prior to the 2008 crisis, I worked with a firm specializing in fixed assets and tax planning. As a result of these conservative approaches, our clients survived the credit crisis unscathed. When I chose to start a new firm here in Lakeway towards the end of 2009, many of those clients chose to be a part of what we were going to build. We were able to start Platinum Wealth from a position of strength with a tremendous foundation of client relationships that believed in our vision.

Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, our firm has become a truly holistic financial planning company. By taking the time to ask our clients how we could best serve them, our needs based approach to planning solutions has evolved into a complete endowment planning model for individuals.

Through strategic relationships with some of the best institutional money managers, private equity firms and

insurance companies in the industry, we are able to architect plans for our clientele with very little limitation and true efficiency. This means lower fees and greater flexibility for our clients.

Our practice is built around the concept that “Less is More” (and we don’t mean money!) We have purposely kept the firm small over the past 7 years to insure we were able to best meet the needs of our long term clients. All of our clients have unique wealth management needs and we strive to provide a personalized service to meet these needs in the most tax efficient manner. Our diverse investment platform combines traditional equities with unique alternative investment and insurance planning that set us apart from other planning firms.

We look forward to continuing to serve our community!

I am most frequently asked the question: “When is the best time to prune my trees?". If only you all knew what a complicated question that is! Here comes my long-winded response which is almost never explained this thoroughly to a curious client and even here, it will be a cliff notes version.

We will take a seasonal evaluation of pruning's pros and cons. First, let's start with Spring. During spring, the flow of sap and tree growth is at its highest. On the positive side – the tree’s response to the pruning wound/injury is the quickest at forming what's called wound-wood; its purpose is to completely grow over the injury and minimize the amount and extent of dieback, rot, etc. to the tree. Also, new growth is invigorated even more by pruning. On the negative side – sap flow is increased and pathogens, insect pests and the like become a higher threat.

During Summer, the increased heat and lack of soil moisture lowers the amount of sap and so pathogen as well as pest dangers are somewhat less than Spring, and the time for the tree to cure its pruning wood is faster than in the Spring. Unfortunately, due to the greater likelihood of drought, which weakens the tree’s

Pruning Dilemma, Part Oneimmune system, it often can’t resist even some minor threats (such as hypoxolon canker). New growth also is spurred in other areas of the tree during the Summer – though not as much as in Spring. If adequate moisture is not present it can actually become a stressor on the tree. Furthermore, the formation of wound-wood from callus tissue is not as good as Springtime.

Fall is, for the most part, a balance between the Spring and Summer months – less woundwood formation than Summer, less pathogens/pests than Summer.

Winter has one of the least amount of pathogen or pest threat, yet it is also the worst time for woundwood growth. The benefit of increasing tree growth is practically non-existent. Also, during severe temperature changes and winter storms, the wood can actually expand and contract on larger cuts opening up cracks that greatly increase the extent of the injury into the parent branch or tree trunk.

My final position on the best season to prune is that "when is not the most important question"! The most important question is "Who should I select to do the pruning?". With that said, Spring is

the best time to prune your trees from a woundwood standpoint and to increase the growth of your tree. It is the assumption and practice of pruning experts throughout the world who try to perform most pruning operations during Spring.

It is too much to cover in this article but my Pruning Dilemma Part Two will scrutinize assumptions leading to the premise to not prune oak trees during the best pruning season of the year! Texas Forest Service as well as others often recommend "no pruning". Again, the vital question is "Who" not "When" from my professional view.

I am frequently hired to help clients approach development of their raw tract of land they recently purchased. Without exception, I encounter surprise and curiosity when I strongly discourage removal of all the cedar (correctly called Ashe Juniper – it is not in the cedrus family). The most common misconceptions I encounter go as follows:

Cedar isn’t a native tree right?Ashe Juniper is actually a Texas native tree, which was found mostly

in mountainous rocky areas (i.e.: the common name Mountain Juniper). Also, it was found in locations where natural fires or fires ignited by the Native Americans did not spread to.

Cedar is a very invasive tree!Ashe Juniper is a successful native plant that is unchecked in

reproduction, when the natural cycle (which includes fire) is significantly altered by human efforts. The reasoning of this argument would also conclude that Live Oaks are also invasive. Due to the lack of fires and the avoidance of removing any oaks during clearing of land, we now have the catastrophic consequence of interconnected roots across the entire hill country and the capacity of the oak wilt

Cedar Myths Debunkedfungal virus wiping out the vast majority of our Live Oak trees. Historically, our oak motts were much fewer and mostly separated from one another preventing the devastation we now experience.

Cedar is a water hog and is sucking all the water out of my land.

Ashe Juniper is actually one of the most efficient water users in our entire cadre of native trees. It is usually the last species to die in a drought. It grows very successfully in places like Junction and Rock Springs, where few other species are able to grow. It is true they are evergreen, but the amount of water they require per diameter inch is less than a Live Oak. I say this not to advocate for the removal of all Live Oaks by any means, rather to show the reasoned conclusion of removal of Live Oaks will also decrease significantly the absorption of water from the ground by a tree species! The fundamental fact behind the shade value of trees to land is this: the Sun exponentially more than any amount or type of plant, causes the desiccation of the soil. Use of a tension-meter in an Ashe Juniper copse and then outside in a neighboring field will substantiate this.

Cedar will turn my land into arid, infertile land.Ashe Juniper significantly minimizes erosion of topsoil. Watch a

slow motion video of the effects of a full-speed rain drop on soil. By contrast, Ashe Juniper slowly drips the rain onto the ground. It is a fact that the topsoil under a cedar is deeper. Not only that, it is nutrient-rich humus. The dead needles condition the soil where beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi populations thrive; the berries and needles significantly help lower the alkaline soil ph.

All cedars around good trees should be removed though right?Actually, Ashe Junipers situated around the perimeter of other

trees help buffer them from winds minimizing erosion plus cool the micro-environment (soil temperature, cambial tissue in trunk, canopy of tree near Ashe Juniper) significantly around the tree. In addition, it reduces the loss of moisture of that tree as a result of the effects of the sun to its root system outside its own canopy.

SummaryGenerally, my initial approach to Ashe Juniper removal on raw

land is a 60% removal and 40% retention. With time, more removal is often warranted. Obviously, Ashe Juniper in a field for grazing or for growing coastal hay is a negative value. But even for livestock, a

mature Ashe Juniper can offer excellent shade. Also, raising the Ashe Juniper canopy to 3’ or 4’ can allow for grass to grow underneath it. Furthermore, wildlife absolutely needs Ashe Juniper as well as highly desirable rare natives such as the Texas Madrone.
