@@Dr.Warren when I bought those swamp white oak I spent a few weeks on RU-vid looking for a video like this and I watched a lot of oak videos but none came close to this as far as information, clarity of audio, both close shots and further away (so you can see the structure of the tree 🌲) most of them stood by the trunk and held the leaf but never backed up or panned up so give the viewer a look 👀. Second thing that makes yours stand out is the length. Most were just covering one oak tree and about 2 mins long. I like the longer more in depth form because I live way out in Washington state and I don’t get to spend time in those regions your oaks grow etc AND when your trying to find out what oak trees you just bought in the discount section (swamp white oak) you need one ☝🏼 video to watch and learn a ton 😆. and lastly I love your thumbnail. It’s really fresh looking with a timeless sort of look. Good 👍🏼 work bro. Also I love these swamp white oak. I have a lowland lot and it’s pretty wet in the fall winter and spring but also when the wind blows through the leaves the under side contrast looks so awesome. The Oregon white oak are super cool. I left the scientific name in the first comment. The grow from BC down into southern Oregon. Super dark leathery green leaves.

The home where I was raised in South Carolina had huge red oaks that surrounded the house providing wonderful shade and beauty. But Oh my all those leaves that had to be cleaned up. great information thank you

Red oak are bad about the leaves. Water oak is the worst. Tiny leaf and they come down over a period of 8-10 weeks. Constant clean up. Thanks for the kind words about the video.

Nice vid! Planted a willow oak here in northwest IL back in 2020, but unfortunately it couldn't handle the winters here (zone 5A) and died before the following spring. Did plant a northern red oak the same year, and it is flourishing nicely. Hoping it will be around for a few hundred years.

@cobococreek1224 3 месяца назад

Interesting Live Oak you picked - by a road/driveway/big house is not the best as the pruning shows!? Glad you included the pic of the big one able to spread like it should - altho it looked like they were mowing grass all around it. Sure some pruning could help prevent wind breakage but it would be difficult for me to want to cut off the special branching like that. Im in north Kentucky, appears out of range, can't say I've seen one, but I miss a lot!

@anthonydooley3616 3 месяца назад

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very informative. I have some small oaks coming up in a newly thinned pine plantation and I want to allow them to grow, even though I will be long dead before they are of any considerable size. Hopefully the next generation will benefit from them.

Thank you Dr. Warren! I am in Tallahassee, Florida and just starting to learn to identify the oak tree species in this area to do a better job selecting trees to monitor phenophases in the USA National Phenology Network, Nature's Notebook. Your video is so very comprehensive and undoubtably covers nearly all the species I would find in this part of north Florida. My sincere thanks! Dave Skinner

@Dr.Warren 6 месяцев назад

Apalachacola National Forest to your west would have almost all of these oaks. It would also some long leaf pine ecosystems that would have some unique understory plants. I've passed through there a few times on my way to St George and it is a vast ecosystem. I need to read up more on what you are doing. It sounds interesting. I'm glad I could help you out.

@selvadero 5 месяцев назад

@@Dr.Warren That's great! Over the next several months I will be making backpacking trips along several segments of the Florida Trail which passes through the Apalachicola. It passes through several different habitats so I should see a good sampling of the species. One question: Do you know how I might distinguish Q. incana from Q. geminata? That is one of the species included in the Quercus Quest campaign on Nature's Notebook. It occurs in the same parts of north Florida and I want to make sure I am observing the correct species. Thanks again for your excellent video, I will be looking for other Plant Doctor videos covering species I am targeting.

Some blackjack oaks will display small points while others will not. Thanks for the kind words. We worked hard on putting this one together.

My question is what is the largest species of oak(in general), not champions, but what oak tree can grow the TALLEST average. Could you tell me a few that are on average going to be the largest in the neighborhood? I want to plant some seeds and make a statement!!

@Dr.Warren 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching and the kind words. Look into northern red oak for your area. But realize that none of us will be around to see it 100ft tall. You are planting for future generations.

@ShinerBockGirlz 2 месяца назад

@@Dr.Warren Would that also include a shummard? I understand I am making this for future generations. I probably have to watch your video again. Red oak is different than shummard? Shummard IS a red oak. Why did they make two types of categories and name one of the species a red oak(in the red oak family) and another a white oak(in the white oak family) I find that so silly. I am serious..You are GOOD. I am subscribed and you gathered I am a Texan. ThankS!!!!!

Quercus Virginiana is in the white oak group and not in the red oak group as displayed in video.

@Dr.Warren Месяц назад

According to the encyclopedia it belongs in the red oak group. But it is an odd ball in the fact that it shares visual characteristics of the red oak but the acorn can mature in one year like a white oak. www.britannica.com/plant/live-oak

@pep3pist0ls63 3 месяца назад

Excuse me, a quick-lazy search @ wikipedia says Q.virginiana is not in the lobatae(red oak) group, althought it is in the virentes group(evergreens), i couldn't find anything either about 18 or so months for it's acorns to mature as other red oaks do.

@Dr.Warren 3 месяца назад

@@pep3pist0ls63 it's a lot to digest. Way more than I can go over in a video despite this one being 45 minutes long. Toss in the fact they often hybridize and the line can become blurry as to what is technically a species. If it's something that interests you keep reading up on it. We need to preserve as many of these old growth oaks as possible. Especially in high density population areas like the northeast.

@pep3pist0ls63 3 месяца назад

@@Dr.Warren Sure indeed it's a long road for cover and im not asking for a video in the time vicinity. The paper seemed closely related to the scope of the video and i thought it'd be nice to give some difussion for curiosity sake. Totally agree!, now we should name the hybrids "orange oaks" as red and white in painting haha.

@joanp105 20 дней назад

Does every Oak produce acorns, even those that are more like shrubs with stoloniferous root systems? What is it that classifies a tree as an Oak since many that you discuss here have totally different leaf shape, texture and even color, if not producing acorns? Do all Oaks tend to hold their leaves late into winter, and as some of our White and Red Oaks, into Spring? We had the worst infestation of Spongy Moths I have ever seen this Spring ( Hudson Valley, NY) and every single Oak in our heavily forested surrounding of our home, was denuded. It looks worse than mid winter, since the caterpillars than went to my Larch, then all the Blue Spruce and White Pines,then the Maples, including my collection of Japanese Cutleaf Maples. They covered our house foundation and made gardening a horror since they dropped all over me as well. I hope that the trees can come back to their previous glory next Spring. We had the heaviest “mast” year just one year ago. Will there still be acorns at all this Fall or does an Oak with no leaves not have the resources to produce acorns? This video was so important to me since I have been attempting to learn to identify our trees for so long, and find it so confusing. Our area has many types of trees and unfortunately, asking those who work for tree care companies gets me different answers for the same tree🤦‍♀️

@Dr.Warren 19 дней назад

Yes, in order to be considered an oak one of the characteristics is that its fruit is an acorn.
