Tree Talk: Yellow Birch
This time on Tree Talk we're discussing Yellow Birch, "Betula alleghaniensis". Yellow birch is a beautiful tree; it has distinctive golden bark, and is often found "on stilts" due to establishing on nurse logs (decomposing fallen trees that provide good germination sites). It is a significant hardwood component of northern forests, with valuable wood and many wildlife benefits. No wonder the yellow birch is the Provincial Tree of Quebec - bon choix, mes amis!

Tree Talk: Bigtooth Aspen
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Another aspen! The only other one in North America - bigtooth aspen, Populus grandidentata. Bigtooth aspen is very similar to quaking aspen, to the point that the two species hybridize readily. However, P. grandidentata has different life history strategies which result in it being found in different forest assemblages than quaking aspen across its range, our lovely forests of eastern North Ame...

It's the most widespread tree species in North America, with a range that stretches from high-elevation Mexico to Newfoundland and Labrador on the Atlantic Ocean, to above the Arctic Circle in Alaska.

Three cheers for black cherry (Prunus serotina)! Black cherry is a beautiful tree that produces a beautiful wood.

Tree Talk: Smooth Alder
Просмотров 3 тыс.Год назад
Smooth alder (Alnus serrulata) is a wonderful thicket-forming species which falls into the catch-all category of "small tree to large shrub". Usually maxing out at a height of 15 feet, smooth alder is a fast-growing denizen of wetlands and riparian (streamside or lakeside) habitats, where it provides food for birds, bugs, and beavers, and good cover for wildlife in summer and winter. Want more ...
Tree Talk: Eastern White Pine

Here's another one for lovers of big trees! Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) is an immense tree of immense historical, cultural, and economic importance. Once the dominant species of much of the northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada, the enormous and economically valuable eastern white pine was a driving factor behind European colonial history. Old-growth white pine stands were cleared in...
Tree Talk: Striped Maple

This time on Tree Talk, we discuss a short tree with a long list of common names. Striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum), also known as moosewood, snakebark maple, goosefoot maple, and whistlewood, is a small understory specialist of the Appalachians and northern woods. It is pretty innocuous in normal conditions but like other shade-tolerant trees, if striped maple is left in the stand during a ti...
Tree Talk: Tulip-poplar

    OMG my 6 piece drumset is made out of this tree! The boxes were so heavy even though poplar is a lightweight wood. Most mid drumsets these days are made from poplar. Just because poplar is a cheap wood, doesn't mean that it's sound is cheap. Some drums are even made out of acrylic! The kit sounds so good that it's hard to distinguish it from oak. Guitar bodies are made from these trees too.

    I work for a millwork company, over the last 6 months there has been a 40% increase in the price of white oak. It's trending with interior designers because you can apply a wirebrush and ceruse finish. Barrel makers have contributed by purchasing all available inventory. You predicted this year's ago.

    I've had one of these growing in my back yard for at least 20 years. It was a volunteer (my neighbour has one that produces seeds.) I kept cutting it back to the ground for the first several years, but then was too busy to stay on top of it. It now towers over my deck and garage. It's soo messy. Last to leaf out, first to drop. Has now gotten so big it's lifting my deck, as it was growing at an angle from underneath. But the bees love it, as do the birds as it has convenient branches for hanging suet/seed cages. Needs a severe cut-back as my south facing deck is now mostly in shade in the summer.

    Well for your information walnuts are a top nut for brain health. They are chock full of omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and other nutrients with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Protecting the brain from oxidative stress and inflammation helps improve the health of brain cells and prevent cognitive decline.

    Great video, thanks. Now I don't quite understand how smooth bark gives the beech more photosynthetic potential, while it's under the canopy. Does the bark itself have chlorophyll and photosynthesize?

    • @forestsforthebay4784
      @forestsforthebay4784 2 месяца назад

      Good question! If you see green, there's chlorophyll! Right under the bark there's a little bit, that I imagine over the tree and over the years adds up.

    We have stands of nearly pure beech on our place in TN. It has little commercial value so loggers leave it plus small beech trees can live in the understory for years, ready to reach for the sun when there is an opening in the canopy. Having a head start, they can out compete oaks and poplar, especially in the absence of fire.
