Hummingbird Feeding: The Ultimate Guide!
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.
Awesome! They both tend to grow in together in most of the eastern US.
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)?
If you keep an eye on it and control the suckers it would, otherwise it might creep into everything.
I have a 5 second video that captures the click of a Mourning Cloak taking off.
Cool!
Is Black Gum a good tree for Texas?
Black gum is native to the eastern 1/4 or so of 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!
They may be getting a bit too much direct sunlight. Serviceberry fruits best when it gets plenty of light, but being in direct sunlight most of the day might be a bit much. Most trees and shrubs don't require any application of fertilizer. You could top dress a bit of compost under the drip line once a year if you like, but it isn't required.
No, I did not know that one.
Stupendous presentation! Thanks.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
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?
On the leaves? Those would be galls and are caused by a species of mite. Or if you are referring to the small white beads that form in clusters, those are the berries.
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.
Sweet goldenrod is a great choice for the garden as it doesn't get huge and doesn't spread fast.
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.
They are a cool butterfly. There are actually quite a few species with similar foraging behaviors.
can you burn it?
Do not burn poison hemlock, the smoke may be toxic.
@@BackyardEcology Ok thanks
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
Nice!

Will a face mask protect you from this I'm a landscaper I'm new to it
As far as breathing it in if mowing or weed whacking it, probably. I generally try to avoid using power tools on 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.
Good way to describe it.
To my understanding is that Persimmons will grow without a male tree around. The benefit is no to little seeds.
It's not that simple - some American persimmons produce seedless (or nearly seedless) fruit. There are varieties like Meador that have been selected for this trait. Sometimes incomplete pollination is the cause. In general though, if you want persimmons to fruit, there has to be a compatible male pollinator nearby.
Has anyone noticed a gassy scent when this is crushed?
I wouldn't recommend handling any plant in the Toxicodendron - especially poison sumac which many have a more severe reaction to due to the composition of the urushiol it contains.
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 😊
They are great shade trees!
Wondered what trees were growing in my grandmothers yard until I found spotted Lantern Flys on them
Yikes! A double whammy!
Mine is much larger. Body 3 inches.
She is probably getting ready to lay eggs. They plump up quite a bit as their eggs start to develop.
@@BackyardEcology one looks like she has killed the male and wrapped him up in silk. The other is smaller (about 2 inches). They are in 2 different locations.
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.
They are a huge draw for the critters!
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
Awesome! They are a super cool spider.
@@BackyardEcology do u know any other spider that is cool like this one?
@@Harpiiiiiiiforever All of them! Honestly, I love spiders. Another cool orb weaver is the cat-faced orb weaver, and another is the marbled orb weaver. Both can be quite common in the right location, but they often show up on porches and around yards.
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!!
I think the discovery that it contains the same chemicals as other members of the pipevine family is fairly recent. The levels aren't as high as some of the pipevines, but I'd rather not take the chance.
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.
Water features are the most bang per for your buck and per unit of area of just about anything you can do habitat wise in a yard. Everything comes to them. Hoping to do some more water feature content over the winter as we install a small pond in one of our native beds.
@BackyardEcology I look forward to that...thank you!
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?
There are a ton of redbud cultivars and they all will vary in size. The sizes in the video are for the average size of a wild type redbud. You may be able to plant a smaller cultivar that close to your house, but most will need pruning to keep it away from the building.
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
Pure, non-cultivar American persimmons are great to eat when ripe. Frost has nothing to do with when they ripen. There will be very edible persimmons here in KY sometime this month (September). If you waited until the first frost to go after them around here there wouldn't be any left as the critters would have already cleaned them up.
@@BackyardEcology That is fascinating. I wonder what makes all of the ones I've tried so different, maybe certain trees just don't lose their astringency like others? (Also I appreciate you constantly indulging my remarks in your comments section. It's not often a creator takes the time to write up responses to most/all comments they receive and I enjoy hearing what you have to say :))
@@joshward7009 The critters could be eating all the good ones - they don't last long at all around here. Deer, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and wild turkeys are on them as soon as they are good to eat.
I have also tried them several times and think they are disgusting 🤮
@@pattiannepascual Taste is a subjective thing. An unripe persimmon doesn't just taste green - it will literally cause your mouth to pucker intensely. There is no fighting it.
💦"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.
If you have many deer and raccoons the persimmons that hit the ground tend not to last very long. As soon as they start to drop here the critters are all over them.
How can I tell a male from a female species?
You can tell by the shape of the flowers, but it's difficult. I found some web sites have information about this, but I don't recall the details - sorry.
Easiest way is to go look at the trees in the fall and see which ones have fruit. If there is no fruit you can search for the woody calyx from the top of the fruits under the trees. I show this in the long form video that is linked to the short. Otherwise you have to look at the structure of the flowers - which can be tough if those tiny little blooms are 30 feet in the air!
😆😆😆😆😆..... I ate an unripe persimmon once.... OMG! Its still a story I tell people. Terrible!!!
Not an experience you soon forget!
