How To Identify White Pine & Red Pine Trees

Coniferous Tree ID Guide: nature-mentor.com/how-to-iden...
White pine and red pine share a lot of overlapping range and sometimes even grow together in mixed stands. This video breaks down how to identify these two species, using 4 different methods:
1. Needles
2. Cones
3. Bark
4. Silhouette (long distance ID)
This video will also provide a strong foundation for identification of all different types of pine trees by looking at characteristics in needles, cones, bark & the overall growth pattern.

Thank you for this!! On my morning commute I was identifying white vs red at first glance, I love being newly empowered!

[@NatureMentor]

That's awesome, it's like a superpower when you figure that out!

Fantastic ID THANK YOU. 2:50 PDT !

Great video - so much more helpful than my field guides. Fantastic comparison of different ages and from varying distances.

[@NatureMentor]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@barbaratucker6489]

Great video!!! You make it easy to understand, I appreciate that so much. Make more!

[@NatureMentor]

Thank you!

[@caramcree]

Love this video. Easy to understand and very informative. Thank you

[@KrisH-uk9bt]

This is the best explanation of the difference between Red Pine in White Pine, that I have ever heard!

[@NatureMentor]

Thank you!

[@sandycheeks1580]

@@NatureMentor please 🙏🏽 do red pine vs Austrian, jack, & Scott’s 🙏🏽

[@muchwilderme]

That was really interesting. I've definitely seen those trees...now I have to go back and look at them again with different eyes.

[@NatureMentor]

Yeah! It's amazing how much our perceptions can change by having a few simple things to look for :)

Thank you for this blessed information. God Bless You for being her first us. ❤😊🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️

Agree with most comments about the voce… it is very pleasant, very clear, and calming, easy to understand. DNR is buying red pine cones, is someone buying white pine cones? When we have traveled to countries that do not have pine cones it is unbelievable how are either one, white or red pine treasured. Would you create a video explaining the reasons red pine has depleted according to DNR? Thank you! We really enjoy your videos and rationale on each video! and even more the fact that your observations are directly pointing to the topic not you, which paradoxically works the othe other way around because it shows you really care for the content of your presentation which to me is showing respect for your audience! Thank you again and please continue bringing more videos like this so beautifully done!

Wonderful Video!
Not to sound to "sappy" but your voice was made for making these kinds of videos. Most men are to raspy and most woman talk to fast ...both usually talk to much.
I also LOVED how you kept the camera on the "subject". You didn't do 1 min on the subject and 5 mins on you. I hate those kinds of videos.
I'm a hard core scroller... A person only has 15-30 secs to get and keep my attention or I'm gone and you will never get a second chance.
You kept my attention for over 9 mins 👏... Not an easy thing to do.
I'll definitely be checking out your other videos!

[@Summer-mx3xf]

This video is so good! I think I'm fancy now and can go ID some trees!😂

[@JoseCruz-it9gb]

Mui bonito♥️

[@ekcoylejr]

I believe i have identified several red pine in Florida.
Is that possible?

[@Jingling-MelO]

Anyone care to tell me which pine trees are most common in BC, Canada?
If multiple variations of pine, then in what order are they most common? I'm in Southwest BC

[@MegaAluchi]

Thanks! I m a fan of the Evergreen species. How would you tell the age that you mentioned earlier? Young, middle age, or adult tree? I have always thought that Red Pine has flaky trunk.

[@NatureMentor]

I would say young trees are saplings, or anything you can fit your fingers all the way around the trunk. Middle aged trees are not quite full height yet and you can still easily hug them (though they may have branches lower down). Full grown trees have lost their lower branches, and are probably too thick to hug all the way. It's a very general estimation, but there are distinct bark changes at each stage. Hope that helps!
