I like the field guide format! Any chance you could make a similar video on the red oak group? Although our northern red oaks are easier I've had some difficulty with black oak vs. pin oak, or others. Also wondering how many may be hybrids.
I have a lot of oak content planned for the near future so keep an eye out for some red oak videos! There are a ton of naturally occurring oak hybrids which can make IDing the oaks fun at times!
I like the new style - super helpful. I wish I could see the side-by-side of each whole leaf first, before then zooming in on the differentiating details. But hey, that's kinda like asking for slightly more hot fudge on an already wonderful scoop of ice cream.
I really like the field-guide style, including the "similar species" keys. I'm also trying to remember if it was Dave Wagner or Doug Tallamy who said that if you're trying to increase biodiversity in your yard, the #1 best thing you can do is to plant an oak tree. It could have been either of them.
I like these field guide style videos. When I learned about the different leaves on the same tree, I gave up trying to memorize how to identify this group. I need all the tips I can get!
If 'field guide' means pictures, then yes field guide me. I think more attention needs to be paid to the decline of the white oak from fungus, deer, and larvae that damage the acorns. Mature trees are being cut down, but they aren't being replaced
There are going to be many more field guide style videos coming! White oak decline is a huge problem over much of the eastern US that is being worked on, but solutions to it are tricky due to all the factors that are causing it.
Love all your content! Thanks! Oh! My Amazon saved cart has about 8 of your website books in it. I just pop one in the cart when I'm ordering stuff...I'm gathering nature books to read this winter.
I'm liking the field guide style of video. We have a long dead oak on our property. It must have been 40 feet high. I loved watching a hawk use it as a lookout post. After a storm a good portion broke off. Then pileated woodpeckers moved in to raise their families. Sadly, there were so many holes pecked into it, about 15 feet of trunk broke off. What's left is still standing but no more animals use it that I know of.
All the talk about caterpillars led me to look up the number of species that exist. I was incredibly surprised to find numbers ranging from 110,000 to 180,000 different caterpillars. Mind blowing 🐛
Thanks, I have a huge white oak in the wood next to me. Now I understand it a bit better. Judging by its diameter it is over 200 years old and is showing its age. Any advice about keeping it health would be much appreciated.
There are so many variables at play in tree health its hard to say with out seeing the tree and its surroundings. While white oaks can live for a very long time in optimum conditions, they may have shorter lifespans in certain soils or growing conditions.
Super format, especially the side by side comparisons of leaves and acorns. 13 oaks surround my house and this has been a mast year. I’ve taken four wheelbarrows full of acorns to the back of the property for the deer.
Great video, thank you. I'm highly interested in a video about how to restore the oak presence in our local landscapes. Maybe address the questions of where, when and how to plant, and where to get the best stock of trees or acorns etc.
I really like the way you have done this video, now if you could just send a dozen White Oak acorns to me that I could get started here on the Olympic Peninsula in the Pacific Northwest
My family has a 100 acres close to Burr Oak State Park in Ohio. There are so many different leaves and nuts all over the ground. Last month while hiking the dry creek bed (we are in a drought), I stumbled upon a Buckeye tree. Never knew it was there because couldn’t hike that part before since the creek was in the way. I enjoy looking at all the varieties but wish I knew what they were. Any recommendations on logging trees? Ours are about 60-75 years old. We were told this is the time to log some but want to do it wisely. Great video! Subbed 😉
When looking into doing a timber sale I would recommend getting a consulting forester to come take a look at your timber. Many will come out for a free initial consult. They can recommend what to do as far as cutting, tell you the value, and set up the logging contracts and make sure the loggers are doing what they are suppose to. Their rates are well worth it to make sure you are not selling your timber to cheaply and laying out a plan that works for your goals.
There's a huge bur oak not far from me being encroached upon by warehouses and I'm always afraid it's going to be cut down. The surrounding white oaks and pin oaks are already gone.

The field guide style in this video is PERFECT! I appreciate the side-by-side to help with identification.
Thanks!
I like the new field guide style. Thanks for all your videos.I have learned a lot!
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the videos!

Thanks! Tallamy has a book all about oaks.
Great source of information given in a short video
Thanks!
I like the style you used.
Thanks!

Thanks! Oaks aren't too hard to learn if you use a few key characteristics for each species. The leaves of most of them can be quite variable,

I'm sure there are plenty of critters still using it. Snags are used by all sorts of critters and insects until they eventually rot away.
Yay, thanks for mentioning the need for fire for many oaks!
Prescribed fire is sorely lacking across the eastern US.

It is crazy how many caterpillars are out there!

I like this type of video! Was walking neighbor's woodlot which contains many 50 -70 year-old oaks. Now we know! Thank you.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video!
Thanks for the video. Very interesting.
This is a perfect style video to learn from. Great job.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
As someone who has struggled to ID trees before, I really appreciate the visual representation and lookalike differences. Great vid 👍
Thanks! I have many more vids like this in the works!
Like this video style, really enjoy yours in general. Informative, easy to understand, and to the point. Much appreciated 🙏
Thank you! Glad you like the videos!
I really like this format! Visual info is always helpful. 🌎🌍🌏❤
Thanks! Glad you like the video!
Super format, especially the side by side comparisons of leaves and acorns. 13 oaks surround my house and this has been a mast year. I’ve taken four wheelbarrows full of acorns to the back of the property for the deer.
Thanks! Glad you like the format! That is a good crop of acorns!
Great video, would love to see more like this
Thanks! Be watching next week as there will be a similar video about another species!
style good. more plz
Thanks! Stay tuned - another video in this style is coming next week!
I like the video style. Thank you
Awesome as always!
Thanks!

Great idea! I'll add it to the video idea hopper.

Personally, I find the field guide style of presentation to be very enjoyable and the most effective for retaining the information 🤙🏻
Thanks! There are more videos of this style in the works!
Great vid man
Thanks!
Please more field guide style videos
There are many more on the way!

How can I get a photo to you? It’s an oak leaf and it’s acorns. I’m at a loss.
Our contact info is in the video description.

An unfortunately all too common problem. Get some acorns from it if you can and at least some of its offspring can be planted elsewhere.
I found the video informative but the slides switched too quickly for me to read them.
Thanks for the feedback!
