Norway, Sweden and Denmark have some spectacular trees. They're trees of myths and legends. These 5 are ones everyone should know a little about.
Are you from the Nordic countries? Did you know these? Do you have nordic ancestry even and have heard these stories as you grew up? Let me know down below if you could get all 5.

In Himalayan range locals make pine incense for winter for healing.

@stevepicchi8986 7 месяцев назад

Fun fact, the mountain ranges in the US run from north to south and that geological arrangement allowed our trees and plants to grow and spread throughout the entire United States, of course where the climate allowed them. In Europe the mountain ranges run east/west which actually deterred the natural spread of a lot of tree/plant species. And ultimately made some off the European species to die out or make them endangered.

@annabackman3028 Месяц назад

I think that you should use a map, and specifically take a look at Sweden, Norway and the Scandinavian Mountain Ridge.

@ollehogblom7819 7 месяцев назад

Great content as usual! I’m a little suspicious about the fifth picture shown at 1:01, is that really a Rowan tree? To me it rather looks like a red elderberry..?

@JohnDoe-ln6xj 7 месяцев назад

I agree with you.

@lilolmecj 7 месяцев назад

Go look up Red Elderberry and compare, I think you will conclude it is not Red Elderberry.

@ollehogblom7819 7 месяцев назад

@@lilolmecj I am very much aware how both Rowan trees and red elderberry looks like and that’s the reason for my comment. In the picture it doesn’t look like Rowan berries. In the rest of the video it’s no question about it, it’s definitely Rowan trees. The resolution in the pic is however not great and I might be wrong. But a comparison with other pictures of red elderberry is just strengthening my hypothesis… 😉

@lilolmecj 7 месяцев назад

@@ollehogblom7819 I didn’t mean to offend, but the morphology of the tree itself is what I am going on. 💕

You could be right. Jonas sent me a bunch of photos and I didn't think about it in the edit. Good catch though! I'll give you that one. Wish I could go back after posting and fix that one just incase.

@hoochreport 7 месяцев назад

So glad you included the Rowan Tree. I'm in Finland right now and wondered what these trees were.

@Udgaard01 7 месяцев назад

Ok, the 5 were easy, but I'm from Denmark, so that's probably part of the explanation. I see you were in Denmark before you went to Sweden, you walked around Copenhagen. At the beginning of the of the video, you walked along the canals of "Christianshavn". However I'm a bit sad that you didn't choose Ash along with the other 5. It' s almost the most original tree in the Nordics, it even appears in our sagas. "Yggdrasil" who holds the world in it's crown. And to the comment about whether it's a Rowan or Red Elderberry. I can tell it's a Rowan, even though they are both small trees. Red Elderberry (Sambucus Racemosa) or "Druehyld" - translated back, "Grape Elderberry" as we call it in Denmark, is a bush, and much more light and flimsy than the Rowan tree... And poisonous ☠️. Nordic Greetings Jane from Denmark 🇩🇰

@UntamedScience 7 месяцев назад

Hey Jane! That is fascinating. Maybe I should do an entire video on the ash. I think that'd make for a wonderful video. I agree. I could have switched the rowan for ash. I could have also chosen the beech tree, which is one of my favorites too. I let Jonas choose in the end. ;) Thanks for the comment. Denmark is wonderful by the way. (fun fact, I visited with my mother on this trip and she was able to find her grandfathers birth home before they came to America!)

@kirstynnjoseph 7 месяцев назад

The birch, rowan, and oak are easy for me but I am terrible at differentiating coniferous trees... slowly getting better though!

@UntamedScience 7 месяцев назад

Conifers are harder, that's for sure. Fortunately conifers leave their cones all over the place which makes them easy to identify should you find them.

@JohnDoe-ln6xj 7 месяцев назад

Hmmmm? From the 5 pictures at the beginning of the video, from left to right I guessed the Genus as Picea or Abies, Betula, Pinus, Quercus and Sambucus (not Sorbus?) Anybody else out there agree? Love your channel, great content!!

@UntamedScience 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! ;) Elderberry is really similar too. I can't fully vouch for Jonas' pictures (he sent them to me). You could be right. Hard to say.

@GinkgoRobur27 7 месяцев назад

Yeah it's sorbus, sorbus aucuparia I think, we call it "sorbier des oiseleurs" in France, it means something like bird sorbus.

as a norwegian, my dad always used to teach me the names of all of the trees and also ask me if i could name them later. so yea, i knew all of them. also when it comes to norwegian spruce, when the new shoots grow out in spring, they are quite edible and is as easy to eat as a cucumber, a bit sour, but quite edible, they get more bitter and more stiff later on however.

@detoxy85 7 месяцев назад

Nice video. But i feel Fraxinus and Fagus should have been included since they were very dominant species in Europe, before we fucked everything over. Also i think the a Beech Forest looks the most magical.

@UntamedScience 7 месяцев назад

I fully agree. I was going back and forth on that one. I would have included beech if I added another one. Those forests are magical, especially the really old ones with massive trunks.

@lilolmecj 7 месяцев назад

Interesting to only have one type of Pine. In the US, Pacific Northwest, Pine is not as common as Spruce, but I am fortunate to have one pine in my yard, though it is not super healthy. But my understanding is it is a companion to Matsuki mushroom. I should see what I can do to help it be healthier.

@UntamedScience 7 месяцев назад

And in the US we have to differentiate the pines we have... ;) Thanks for the comment.

Do Elderberry trees grow in Sweden? They are everywhere in Northern Scotland and more nearby in the baltics, so I'd think they'd be there too

@sisialista 7 месяцев назад

well they do but not that many where i live most are farmed or kept in gardens. where i have found them in the "wild" they seem to have spread from garden trees

@monicageorgson4870 7 месяцев назад

The Swedish translation of ”sour grapes” goes; “Surt, sa räven om rönnbären” - “Sour, said the fox of the Rowan’s berries”… It’s quite funny since the Rowan berries are indeed sour, as opposed to grapes. But Swedes are sticklers for alliteration I suppose!

@jeffcampbell1555 7 месяцев назад

Wow, not since reading about the coal mines of Czechia and Silesia have I encountered the moving of humans to accommodate mining. That was before the fall of communism and decline in the value of coal, but it tells me that Swedish Iron ore must be very valuable, indeed. I also noticed the irony of national tree names when Linnaeus was a Swede. Scots pine and Norway spruce? As if!

@JoshuaRolen 7 месяцев назад

They must have started taxonomy there because they thought they could actually count all the types of trees. Where I live, in the heartland of Appalachia, it almost seems like every other tree is a different type of tree.

@UntamedScience 7 месяцев назад

You nailed it. I was blown away at how few trees they have in Scandinavia. In fact, most of central Europe has the same limited number of trees. I'm also from Appalachia area and yes, there are WAY too many trees there in comparison.

@konrad7492 7 месяцев назад

These grow all over Europe. I'm not nordic, so i can't speak for them, but i can speak for slavs and i think you'd have a very hard time finding a slav who couldn't identify them. Most eastern europeans could probably even identify them just by smelling the smoke from these trees wood being burnt (not counting the Rowan Tree, 'Jarzębina' in Polish)

@UntamedScience 7 месяцев назад

That's really good to hear. I'm glad most people in Europe seem to be able to identify these common trees (or at least the ones that follow my channel). I find it interesting that many Americans I know can't. I don't think it's there fault either. It seems to be an unfortunate product of many Americans being the children of recent immigrants to a new land. Add to that the diversity of ecosystems in the US. If you leave your home for college or a job, you could travel 3000 miles to an entirely new habitat where all the trees are different. I was blown away (for example) that in Sweden there is basically only 1 oak, 1 pine, 1 spruce, etc. That makes it a tad easier to know the basic trees.

@konrad7492 7 месяцев назад

@@UntamedScience Culture is totally what it's about. It's hard not to know these trees when literally everyone around you does. Also hiking around woods is by far the most popular past time here and you just can't not look at trees doing that :D
