I've been watching a lot of these types of videos lately, and this one BY FAR is the BEST I've seen. You come across relaxed, personable and knowledgeable. I am a nursery professional, but learning to identify tall trees by their bark is something like remembering people by their faces; you need to get to know them. Thank you for being so helpful!

@kaf890890 2 года назад

We enjoyed your video very much, thank you. We recently acquired 20 acres of woods in Connecticut, and look forward to identifying our trees. We expect to tap a maple tomorrow!

I think KY and Ohio have very similar trees.I grew up in the Appalachia Mountains of Eastern KY. We used to swing on the grapevines when I was a kid. Once when we were swinging, the grapevine broke when my cousin was in mid air. It knocked the breath out of her and we all thought she was dying. Scared us half to death. When we see each other we laugh and remember swinging on the grapevines.

@AdventureArchives 4 года назад

There's definitely a lot of similarities in the flora in KY and OH :) Wow, glad she was okay! I had was swinging on a grapevine with Thomas (who's in some of our videos) and I remember it snapped and broke while I was in the air too. Thankfully, it wasn't too bad of a drop :)

I never took time out to learn tree identification...I mean, I knew how to recognize oak and poplar and maple etc but; here in the philly area, as I am sure in many other areas, there is such a vast diversity of trees to study... You really know your stuff and it's very helpful...:)...Thanks again...

Rick Rabies - Can't respond directly to your comment for some reason, but that's a good point, haha.

I also have shorts with a big brown paint stain on them.

@gregr1672 2 года назад

Great video!! I would like to address your description of Elm Bark ! Here in SW Pa ,I come across lots of Elm and 3 different species I see the most ,the Bark is not easy to push your fingernail into at all . Quite the opposite ,very hard bark . I have come across the very corky soft Elm Bark you speak of ,but not as frequently as the Other Elm I see . I cut firewood almost full time cleaning up down trees,standing dead trees ,and storm damage . I never realized how much Elm is in our area .It is quite a lot in Pa. Much of the Elm I see resembles red oak ,I call it faux Elm ,because it tricks me all the time .The biggest give away is the Rays of the end grain of cut Elm. They are the mist prominent rays I be ever seen on wood . Thanks for your videos ,would love to walk the woods with you ,maybe you could ID These Elms for me ! I think some of them ate Hybrids that took on different characteristics when they were trying to grow blight resistance Elm .

@eqlzr2 4 года назад

Nice video. Kinda an old video. Not sure how I missed it. Lately, I'm collecting samples of small dead branches from trees around here and exposing and oiling a few inches of the wood for a little collection. Like a lot of cities, my city touts itself as the city of trees, and there actually is an online map of what trees are planted in which neighborhoods, so I have access to a variety of different trees, some unusual. Also, when I was a kid living in Iowa, we lived on a big corner lot with a lot of huge pretty mature trees. The entire town was thick with big mature elm trees that looked like gorgeous archways in the winter when they were covered in snow and ice. Unfortunately, Dutch Elm disease wiped them almost entirely out. We also had several huge pin oak trees in the yard, and big bolts of lightning eventually wiped those out, too. That'll wake up a little kid in the middle of the night when the trees are right outside your bedroom windows.

@AdventureArchives 6 лет назад

I think MADBuck might be something specific to Ohio - but it's pretty applicable in nearby states as well, i'm sure. Yeah, Ash trees are rare to find these days I think, because the emerald ash borer killed lots of them. Thank you for watching! -Andrew

@BonafideToolJunkie 9 лет назад

One interesting fact, trees in the deep woods will usually grow taller and straighter, because they have to compete for sunlight. This makes them more suitable for lumber. Trees at the base of a hill also tend to do better due to the water runoff and extra nutrients they receive.

@AdventureArchives 9 лет назад

Paul Weatherby Good to know! I figured trees in the forest grew straighter (Which I think makes it harder to ID them by shape?), but didn't know about them growing better at the bottom of a hill. Thanks for sharing! --Andrew

I've found that no matter how much you learn, there is always another tree that you'll find and will stump you : P New discoveries in nature is never ending process. There is another great channel on here that will help you hone your skills, check out Don Leopold's playlist on Dendrology, it's a valuable resource. Keep up the good work!

@AdventureArchives 9 лет назад

@ironDsteele 9 лет назад

No problem, Don is the best in the business. If you get around to it, you should cover coniferous trees as well, Spruces really fool me from time to time. Be sure to check out my wild plant identification playlist on my channel, I think you will enjoy it!
