Can you comment on the root system of this tree? How far from a house is planting recommended? Also completely unrelated - I have a large patch of forsythia that I want to swap out for a combination of native shrubs. However, the birds and rabbits love this as a cover area. What's a good way to go about replacing without leaving everyone homeless as the new shrubs grow back? Right now I think I'll take out 1/3 at a time and replace. Maybe do this over a few years. Any suggestions? Thank you

My grandma's yard was full of fruit trees that she received as wedding presents. My favorite was the persimmon. It was so tall and had such beautiful bark. She only ever had one tree, and it was loaded every year. I took a few fruits this year to try establishing it in my own yard. I left them out in the cold, and the squirrels ate them. Luckily, I found the discarded seeds!

feels good to be a master oak identifier 😌

Well, the best I can explain it is almost any part of the plants can be used to make a solution that "tans" the hides/pelts of beasties. (There's lots of tannic acid in there. Red oaks are better to use.) And, as well as making the leather flexible and resistant to rot, it also alters the color of the finished pelt, thus "tanning the hide." It would be several decades ago, now. But, I've used the process. I hate to waste any part of something I've hunted. It's just not respectful, or responsible.

Love them

Such amazing species!

I learned that chickadees and some other birds may use milkweed fluff for insulating winter roosting spots. I already plucked all my milkweed pods since so many were bursting open and I’m pretty close to my neighbors. However I will try to pull all the seeds out of the pods so they fluff up a bit and will hopefully stay in a suet cage!!

Like button pollinated! Love your channel!

Perhaps one of the most stunning Lepidoptera species we have.

Had a few large catalpa caterpillars on one smaller tree this year, they were all parasitized by the wasp!

I’ve got a photo of an oak leaf I’d like identified.

How can I get a photo to you? It’s an oak leaf and it’s acorns. I’m at a loss.

I found the video informative but the slides switched too quickly for me to read them.

There’s one of these growing on the opposite side of my fence. I’m not able to cut it down but I have been trimming any parts that make it into my yard.

I have raised many many wolf spiders over the years,my current female has an egg sac,wasn’t expecting her to lay so soon,thought she had gone into hibernation,came out again with a huge egg sac a few weeks later,unfortunately it’s nearly winter so releasing the babies might not be the best thing.

Sweet!

very toxic looking

That's W O N D E R F U L 💓✨️

Aren't they the coolest! I haven't seen them nabbing any of my persimmons in New England, here. But, I do know they hoard mushrooms like crazy. (And, so do I. 😉😄😊👍🎸)

I presume that the flying squirrel was Glaucomys volans simply because Glaucomys sabrinus', range in the US is rather limited. The former is quite rare in my corner of the world. Sadly, I have never seen a specimen of Diospyros virginiana here. Legend has it of a few horticultural specimens, though.

Wintercreeper keeps me up at night. A beautiful 300 acre park I grew up with near me in Cincinnati is completely covered and smothered. Evil humans eventually die, but Wintercreeper is never going to stop. Most people, and park managers, don't give a crap.

Never heard the "Gallberry" common name. Only "Inkberry" . Had sumac "tea" . Tastes like lemonade + something else ......acerola?

Personally, I find the field guide style of presentation to be very enjoyable and the most effective for retaining the information 🤙🏻

Thanks you

Recommended for Minnesota???

There’s a young burr oak next door in Ohio that produces acorns. Seedlings come up in the yard and I have left them alone. Except moving one to the front yard with a big soil ball. It’s doing great. And had a second flush of growth in July. It’s now about 8” tall. Looking forward to good growth next year.

Ever have an ugly yellow-brown water stain on your ceiling that just kept coming through your fresh paint? That's because a water leak leached its way down through the wood in your ceiling/attic and carried the tannins from the wood into your very visible white ceiling. Water based paint won't stop the tannins from leaching through again, because, after all, water is the tree's transport system! Use any coating other than a water based one and your problem is solved. Just thought I'd share that odd bit of random tannin knowledge here. ;-)

I bought a Bur oak, at Bernhiem forest, for $ 1.00. I planted it at the no mow area at Fern Creek high school. I don't know how well it will do in the future because of all the invasives growing there.

Do people also refer to this as inkberry? I think ilex glabra is what I’m thinking of.

I have got that butterfly

Awesome!

Is there any cultivars of these species that are tasty to eat?

Thanks for another great video!

Great video, thank you. I'm highly interested in a video about how to restore the oak presence in our local landscapes. Maybe address the questions of where, when and how to plant, and where to get the best stock of trees or acorns etc.

I've planted three of these as bare roots. I've noticed this is a fast growing and hardy tree. Thanks for your video and dedication to the subject.

I used to go on birding trips every spring to western VA/eastern WV with a fairly tight-knit group, one of whom was a retired forester and lifelong plant nerd. While looking for grassland bird species around Blue Grass, VA, at his request we'd always make a special stop along the river to "visit" a huge lone Bur Oak that was growing there. I came to love that tree too.
