I live in Canada but am originally from a tropical country. This video is VERY informative for people like me. Thank you! Not sure why some people have given dislike to this video.

Thank you very much for your video on the differences between all these types of trees. Very well presented and very good information. I learned a lot! Best of luck!

@stefant5958 Год назад

A difference between Spurce and Fir is that the needles of Spurce sting a little when you press the tip of the needle, while Fir needles don't sting when you press on the tip. This has helped me a lot to identify, hopefully it will help you.

Years ago i discovered essential oil and didn't really care for it too much, that is until i got a hold of some black spruce oil and fell in love with it. Found a local shop that also had white spruce, spruce hemlock, siberian fir and 3 types of pine. Been 100% more aware of trees since then.. trying to identify every one that i see, even when driving through the country. Another one i really like is douglas fir (although not technically a true fir). The aroma is like pine with a sort of sweetness to it. Both that one and cedar leaf (thuja), put me right in the forest.

@Accentor100 Год назад

Great video. I live in California where we have all kinds of conifers, no larches though. It would have been interesting to also compare the Douglas Firs which of course are not true firs. We have the Common Douglas Fir and the Big Cone Douglas Fir which is endemic to Southern CA.

@ratandmonkey2982 9 месяцев назад

wow, didn't know that! Just looked it up: The Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)is an evergreen conifer species in the pine family, Pinaceae. The leaves are flat, soft, linear needles 2-4 centimetres (3⁄4-1+1⁄2 in) long, generally resembling those of the firs, occurring singly rather than in fascicles.

@RonS.-ts8ec 7 месяцев назад

Larch would be tamarack, there is tamarack in the Sierra Nevada mts. Cal.

@Ennsey 2 года назад

@not2tees Год назад

Here in Calgary I now know that there are two Spruce trees growing on our west lawn. Your photos of the cones could have been from one of them.

@pamelah6431 3 месяца назад

1:43 FYI, you can't be sure a deciduous conifer is a larch. It could also be a dawn redwood or bald cypress.

@SoNoFTheMoSt Год назад

I found the best way to distinguish between spruce and fir is the base of the needle on spruce have a brown 'peg' and the base of a fir needle have a green 'pad'

@YourVeggieGuru 4 года назад

I like it! Very informative. Ever try to harvest pine nuts whilst sojourning in forests or foothills of mountain ranges? Also, I think I've been the victim of a drive by sprucing. My last vehicle was parked near a spruce tree one time and as I drove it out of that parking spot, I notice a clear but thick substance fall smack on the windshield. Urghhh...I remember that being such a pain to clean. Any tips in that regard?

@jaxinco 3 года назад

Goo Gone might work on pine sap.

@lindsaywhitehead7819 Год назад

Great video. It helped a lot. You aren't quite correct on one point. Some redwoods are also deciduous conifers. But they are easy to tell apart from the trees you are comparing, I think.

@MrMonero 2 года назад

What a good video. Is larch the best to use for woodworking projects? As far as I am aware larch is the most suited for outdoor stuff as it is the most water and rot resistant without needing to be treated. I have been told that both cedar and larch are the two to use in these instances whereas pine, spruce and fir are softer and less rot resistant and will need treating or painting to protect them if being used for outdoor purposes. Is this correct?

@RonS.-ts8ec 7 месяцев назад

Yes cedar n tamarack(larch) are harder wood than the pines firs. Tamarack is good fireplace wood also

@ruthk9223 2 года назад

If I make a tea infusion from pine needles in bulk for the whole week and keep it in the fridge or out of the fridge (which is recommended?) Will the nutritional values remain? Do pine wood needles contain surmin? And does surmin also cleanse toxins from vaccines?

All I knew is that some of them were bad to put in our fire stove, and others made enough smoke inside to suffocate every one in winter cold. But there were those that had gas in them?? They burned fast but clean. They kept the place warm. Some would even last all night.

Are larch trees found in the Pacific northwest?

Yes. Western larch (Larix occidentalis) is found in the forests of the Pacific northwest, both on the Canadian and US side of the border.

Many use “pine” as a generic, like they might call all carbonated drinks “coke”. Not that plant blindness isn’t a big problem.

@georgew2432 8 месяцев назад

A good way to distinguish fir and spruce is to take the first letter of each ie: F for Fir which is Flat and does not roll between your fingers and Spruce which is Square (you can roll it between your thumb and finger) Also the Larch (Hackmatack, Tamarack) is the only evergreen/conifer to lose its needles in the winter

Are they all not of the pine family? What the video calls a pine, is it a conifer?

@stevensteven1624 3 года назад

Umm, Sorry but pines can have between 1 to 7 needles per bundle. But only one variety (Single-leaf Pinyon) has single needles. Also 99% of pines are in 2s, 3s, or 5s.
