    Never knew about the glands at the base of the cherry leaf. The old name is 'gean' and it is (in context) an indicator of ancient woodlands. Although the 'trees' you see may not be very old (although it often gets older than 50 years) you may notice that in many woodlands or hedgerows, it often occurs in groups. This is because it suckers from the roots - in fact it is one of the few native hardwoods that does not coppice when cut. It actually clones naturally and these clones can cover large areas in an ancient woodland and can be truly ancient. I can supply a link to a youtube vid that shows this if you wish.

Im only 27 but i don't think most people my age appreciate the beauty and peaceful it is to see them fall. Thanks again 🙏

    The first tree you featured is Prunus Avium, common name is Wild Cherry but Prunus Padus is known as the Bird Cherry, this is odd. Padus translates to "thread", Avium translates to "of the birds", so why isn't the Wild Cherry's ltin name Prunus Padus and the Bird Cherry Prunus Avium? A classifier of plants having a laugh? Someone did something similar with Holly, the females being known as Silver King, Golden Queen etc.

    Elderflower can smell different from plant to plant. There are some which have the sweet elderflower aroma and others which do smell less pleasant, a bit musty for sure. We learned which ones to avoid locally and only pick the ones which appeal to our nose so that the wine or cordial has a better chance of tasting good.

    Hi, are the leaves of wild cherries poisonous? i got a lot of leaves that i soaked in oil and extracted the smell out of it. there is a pungent smell kindda like vinegar and i am very concerned that it might be poisonous. i wanna used in perfumes. i also used heat to make sure the water of the leaves evaporated and essential oils dissolved in the oil

    I hope you eventually bring out a book "the wildcraftopedia" (don't forget I suggested the name chuckle chuckle).
    But on a serious note if you ever do, look at your videos for reference how you provide a visual reference for trees and plants. Too many books give artist representations of trees and plants and most the time the are poor ( I don't know why the authors give great descriptions but I'm only guessing have there friends give poor illustrations, I'm guessing they didn't know what a camera was.)
    If you ever do it will be up there with top quality encyclopedia prices and a big book that's my a
    Tip.
