A discussion of the many native Pacific Northwest conifers found in Oregon, and some tips on how to identify them, with Renee Harber, CCC Horticulture faculty.
This is so far the best conifer ID video I've found as I am looking for videos to share when someone ask me about this. The fact that you're in Oregon is also good as most of the species you covered are also native to California where I am.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
Your presentation is thorough and factual. What I want to know is there any conifers out there that provide garden shade that grows up to 25 feet and 20 feet wide and not all that cluster more pine looking in the branches...thank you
What about Lodgepole Pine? (Which, if I recall, is a subspecies just like Shore Pine). Odd that they put Shore Pine and left out Lodgepole Pine, though (unless I missed it).
Pinus contorta ssp. contorta is the Shore Pine; Pinus contorta ssp. murrayana is the Sierra Lodgepole Pine, and Pinus contorta ssp. latifolia is the Rocky Mountain Lodgepole Pine. All 3 subspecies are quite different. Shore Pine is a small pine right by the coast. The 2 lodgepoles are taller, narrower trees of higher mountain terrain. Sierra Lodgepole Pine cones open each year that they ripen, and can produce seedlings any year. Rocky Mtn Lodgepole requires the heat of fire to open their cones and to produce seedling renewal of the forest. The Rocky Mtn subspecies is found in eastern Oregon, while the Sierra subspecies is more widespread. All 3 are found in Oregon.
All the intelligence, then... "350 miiiiiillion years ago" squirts out and points instantly drop. With the amazing number of perfectly tuned systems just in the human body, even a child knows that much design means an intelligent Someone designed it. Even Darwin knew there is a Creator.
So perfectly tuned that we break down constantly and fail to self regulate in any way and cause a bevy of health problems for our selves. What a wonderful “god”. Why don’t you pray the next time you need a tree identified?
