Hi there, I live in Northern Virginia. There are both of these trees everywhere. With this video I am able to identify between the 2 young & old. Thank you.

Hi there! Thanks for another fantastic video! Do you think smooth rose would behave in a garden of many other plants (wood poppy, golden Alexanders, foxglove beard tongue, wild basil...etc)?

I have a 5 second video that captures the click of a Mourning Cloak taking off.

Is Black Gum a good tree for Texas?

Thanks for this! I love these trees. They grow without any challenges in our downtown in North Carolina. We bought two and planted them in a garden in Tennessee, South Facing sun. They are struggling. We planted them last fall and this summer they don't look great. We self-watered so no drip line this could be one reason they are not happy. But what we are also wondering is if they are getting TOO much sun? Do they do better as an understory planting? We have them in between our blueberries SOUTH facing. Also, wondering what we organic material we should use to fertilize them? Much appreciation!

No, I did not know that one.

Stupendous presentation! Thanks.

The best part starts at 4:15! Don’t miss it

More on weird butterflies please.

What is the tiny little beads on poison ivy?

I kept waiting for goldenrods to show up (I forgot it was a top ten, least to most type list 😅). I'm planning my future pollinator garden now. I've settled on Solidago odora as my goldenrod of choice because it's not too tall or weedy and reputedly smells good. 😊 EDIT: I didn't know about Chrysopsis though. I've added them to the short list.

I raised a decent pile of them this year. The young eat American Elm tree leaves, here. There are a LOT of predatory species on this property. So, very few ever grew to adults before we started helping them along. The chrysalis wiggle like the Devil when touched. (It sometimes happens when I'm cleaning out their "nursery.")

They are so beautiful I raised some caterpillars that I found on my Hops vine their caterpillars are so unique compared to other butterfly larvae like Monarchs and black swallowtails 💙

Very questionable food choices! Haha, but I still love seeing them. That purplish pinkish wing border is simply gorgeous. Always welcome to my rotting fruits or whatever else they can find in the yard.

can you burn it?

We have so many that host on our sugarberry trees every year where I live ❤❤ we have peach trees in the yard as well they love being around the rotten peaches

Will a face mask protect you from this I'm a landscaper I'm new to it

Oh! Luna, Hickory Horned-Devils and Regal moth caterpillars all can survive on the leaves of the native species , too. I've got a few on the property. The only thing I don't like is the way they can spread by "runners.". It can be a bit of work to stay on top of that. Paw-Paw does a similar thing. But, they're not as aggressive about it. (And, they're tastier. 😄)

"Ain't it dah truth?! Ain't it dah truth?!" A mouth full of alum would be the closest equivalent I could think of.

To my understanding is that Persimmons will grow without a male tree around. The benefit is no to little seeds.

Has anyone noticed a gassy scent when this is crushed?

I have a HUGE one someone planted right next to my house a very long time ago. I do worry about broken branches hitting the house, but the tree seems healthy and is the BEST shade tree. I actually love when it blooms and the flowers blanket the ground. I have a lot of acreage so I'm thinking of planting another one much further away from the house 😊

Wondered what trees were growing in my grandmothers yard until I found spotted Lantern Flys on them

Mine is much larger. Body 3 inches.

I actually did know that one.

I gots 3 of these trees within view of my house. No telling how many I got deep in my forest. Wild animals love em.

I am 12 years old I just saw this spider for the first time in my backyard. It is a rlly pretty spider. The funny part is that I had like 3 friends over and they all freaked out (including me) and we went to one of my other friends house instead . We thought it was poisenous lmao😭😂 but I finally decided to research it today and it's actually rlly cool

HOLY COW. Do you know how many foraging guides I've seen--up to and including my copy of the Peterson guide to edible plants--that give a full thumbs-up to eating A. canadense?? YIKES. We have a fairly robust little patch in our back yard, and I kept meaning to harvest and candy some of the rhizomes. Chronic procrastination may generally be unkind to me, but in this case I think it's my new best friend, because I WILL NOT be doing that now! A valuable service indeed. Thank you!!

Fostering ecologically-minded management of your land has so many rewards. It does require rethinking a lot of what we've come to internalize about what makes "good" landscaping--plants with perfect foliage, insectless yards, short monoculture grass lawns, etc., etc. I've found it helpful to consider munched-up foliage, groundhogs sheltering under our deck, and wasps swarming around our goldenrod and wingstem as a sort of 5-star Yelp review from the local wildlife. :) And I cannot stress enough how species diversity explodes with the addition of a water feature. In addition to the frogs and dragon-/damselflies that have discovered our little pond, we're also seeing migratory birds we've never seen in our yard before (e.g., Louisiana waterthrushes!!) make stops there.

I've seen some nurseries/online sellers say Eastern Redbuds get 20-35 feet wide, but some say 10-15 ft wide. Is one of those inaccurate or does it depend on the cultivar? Do you think I could get away with planting one about 7.5 feet away from the corner of my house?

Hahaha I had already eaten an unripe one a few times many, many years before Dr White's dendrology class

I have only tried eating a completely unripe one once, yes, but I have tried them many times after. I got the same astringency after the first frost as I did several weeks later, then several after that, and so on into late December. I am beginning to think that non-cultivar american persimmons tasting good is a myth...that being said I'm still going to try the squishiest one every time i see a tree after first frost this year. I'll get one eventually

💦"Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin."💦

Persimmons can be used to make a very nice wine, and dried persimmon pulp - persimmon leather - is very tasty. Be prepared for extensive clean up as the trees can be very productive and fruits dropping on the ground can make quite a mess.

How can I tell a male from a female species?

😆😆😆😆😆..... I ate an unripe persimmon once.... OMG! Its still a story I tell people. Terrible!!!
