Hello and welcome to my channel! I'm a botanist based in St. Louis, MO. I recently graduated with my M.S. in Biology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Learning about the different species of plants has always fascinated me, so I hope my videos can either spark or continue an interest in plants for you :)
@@cubetheorist3419 Oooo!!! I have a different Passiflora that I've been trying to get to fruit. I only got it to flower, no fruits... This is its first year though, so I'm not worried!
we had some hickories with nuts as big as black walnuts and with the husk on them the size of softballs. what are they called? they were harder to crack than a black walnut but very tasty
Nice video! I have a pecan in my backyard that was planted by whoever built this house in 1963. It's enormous and produces so many pecans we can't use them all so we sell what we can't use. I'm in New Mexico where pecan is a major crop. The bark on mine (and all the others around here) looks a lot more like the example you showed of pignut hickory? I've never seen bark like the pecan you showed. I guess there are other cultivars with different characteristics.
At first I thought there was no way I could distinguish the persimmon bark from all the other barks, but the other tree bark examples you gave really helped show the differences. And somebody needs a bigger strainer! :D
Thank you for this video on IDing hickories. I found a few nuts on our property and my plant ID app says I gave a young pignut tree sprout. The animals brought them here because we have so several varieties of ash trees but no hickory that I can see. When I try to identify the tree, sometimes (especially young trees) they have both opposing and alternating leaves. Leaflets range from 5 to 9 and are similar in shape to the hickories. The bark on their trunks are raised ridged... other characteristics which make identification (ash vs. hickeory) difficult, especially when buds were hit by frost so no nuts are forming. I wish someone would create a video to help discern the differences for positive identification. I'll keep searching around yhe neighborhood...

All of the ash trees is my yard died to the beetle. Have a couple cottonwood on my yard right now. Going to plant more because of their fast growth so I can have a small woods again
I enjoyed my time with you; identifying & explaining characteristics of trees, simply by their bark. Thank you for posting something, that didn't make me feel dumber for wacthing.
2:46 *fruit maturity is 1st week of Aug to last week of Oct, with a 3 week to 6 week harvest window, depending upon cultivar. Ripe flesh can be white to deep orange depending on cultivar. most have yellow flesh. There are white flesh ones in the wild SW of Cincinnati, North West of Florance Kentucky along the Ohio River. And also in Canada, plus parts of Georgia near Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. Some varieties have color break to the skin & some don't. best to slap the trunk or fast vibrate shack trunk. ripe fruits will fall. don't pick them. if they have to be pickedd they are not fully ripe. near ripe with ripen on the counter in 4 days. if picked too soon, they will never fully ripen. Some cultivars like Mango, marshmallow, Wabash, Rappahannock will go very soft. Some like Susquehanna, Siri Vishnu, KSU Chappell, stay very firm when ripe. Some like Nyomi's Delicious turn yellow before ripe. Others stay dark green when ripe. Best to vibrate the trunk!*
I accidentally ate like 20 of these beans raw… I didnt notice any immediate side effects but i did feel a mild high. I heard later that these beans could kill a person. Am i at risk for eating 20 of these beans?
I did an engine search and if you are allergic to shrimp you are also allergic to cicadas!!!! I found that super interesting because we have many cicadas in the Appalachian mountains.
