Tree Identification: Hackberry, Black Oak, Red Cedar

I was eager to do a shoot on the Indian Fort Nature Preserve, because I discovered that there were hackberry trees on the property, a species that can be hard to find in western New York State. Went over a few other species while I was there.

Think you've found your niche, Peter. These tree id videos are quite interesting and the videos seem to do well.

There other varieties of hackberrythat grow on my property here in southern mid-America. The species you identify in the video grows here also. It has very eratic bark and branching. The eractic branching is very noticable on trees that have limbs you can see at ground level. The other variety that grows here has much less eratic bark and branching. I appreciate your videos, but would like for you to give the scientific names of the trees also.

Thanks for beautiful sharing 🙏

Junipes are the main host of Apple Cedar Rust and Quince Rust which decimates Apple/Hawthorne, quince and serviceberry crops. So orchards have to remove these trees which disrupts the funguses lifecycle

Thank you I own land in KS and was wondering what a particular tree I have was. Now I know it’s a Hackberry 👍

[@Paleoman52]

This was so interesting Peter, I learned a lot from this video. That Hackberry tree is something I was not familiar with. I love hiking that Indian Fort woods, It has been a while since I was there. Great video, do more of these if you have time.

0:45 looks a little like Black Cherry tree as well (not the leaves though)

I just planted some hackberry, never seen a good example of a grown tree before, thanks.

Great videos, keep them coming!

Please keep sharing. Your knowledge is vast, practical and very helpful.

You should see the Juniper trees at the Bartlett Arboretum. They were planted in a paupers graveyard and I remember when they were small enough you could pick the berries. They are huge now. You'd have to be very tall or use a ladder to reach the lowest branches. Maybe 50ft tall.

Excellent, entertaining, and so informative!!! I love your enthusiasm and respect for Northeastern tree identification :)

1:23 Red Oak???

[@johnconklin9039]

Very interesting info!

I thoroughly enjoy watching your tree identification videos and learn a lot. I live in NY and frequent the woods in Maine often, so most of the trees you cover are species I come across. I've never seen a Hackberry before, but I would probably confuse that leaf with a Birch leaf if I didn't know what tree it came from. Is the wood from the red cedar much different than the Eastern White Cedar I find up in northern Maine?

[@petercollin5670]

Beech trees hang onto many of their leaves throughout the winter. Hackberries drop all of theirs right away and, as you can see, the leaves degrade quickly. White cedar wood is quite different, being pale and not aromatic while the red cedar is red and has that wonderful smell.

This was great - thank you! Please share every detail you can think of for each tree - the little obscure facts really help us get to know the personality of each species.

@@PopArt I run into a problem with the less common species. I have some footage of describing black gum, or tupelo trees. I found it hard to find things to say about it, because they are so uncommon here that I don't have the practical, personal experience with that species. Feels wrong to stand there and spout things taken right from google!

@@petercollin5670 I understand. Thanks for the reply & I’ll keep enjoying your videos!
