  • August to February. Dr George McGavin. More content than the usual BBC commissioned 'emotional journey'. A little over-easy on the photogenic panning, but good documentary.

    I have a bunch of old oak trees in my yard one was aged at 357yrs old. It's 5ft wide and beautiful, every fall the leaves pile up and create a lot of work but, I keep telling myself it's been here longer than any of us have and deserves to be taken care of.

    We previously owned 5-acres in SW Michigan in an oak savanna forest habitat. We had 27 White Oak Trees on our property in the 75 to 100 old age range. They survived an attack of thousands of tree caterpillars that totally de-leafed them and 20' deep flooding for four springs in a row. We lived there for 20 year's and our trees acted as neither attack had ever happened. Survivors for sure!

    I like to gather a tub of acorns in the autumn and keep them in the fridge to plant a few when I go for walks. Something very satisfying about seeing them appear in spring and growing each year.

    I have loved Oaks since childhood, my favoright tree. Today I have a 50 year old oak in my garden and it has sent it's roots under my polly tunnel to help itslf to my water and nutrients. It knew exactly where to go and what it was after. Now I have raised beds in the polly tunnel as the oak roots were building too fast to grow vegetatables of any value. Now we are both happy, veg above the weed matt, the roots below but still receiving the water and growing fast.

Mind blowing subject but one which requires serious scientific and historical investigation alongside current naturalists and biologists with new insight from scientists and governments/worldwide organisations. Working together.....No,No not just us(humans) but all us organisms/beings on the planet.

      One person in the comments suggested it would be OK while it was 'dormant over winter', another said you'd at least need a large hydroponic tank. I expect it could survive a short time, but I have no idea how long or under what conditions.

    The episode's content (c. 11th minute) of the grey squirrel (an invasive species which arrived in 1870s from north America) was daft and misleading. That species - as Americans tend to - arrived when the main action had been done! For c.8,000 years oaks - and acorn dispersal - was happening without grey squirrel assistance! Footage of jays would have been better. I thought that I had learned plenty from this episode but, on reflection, what else was misleading?

    • @maudeeb
      @maudeeb  5 лет назад +2

      George has mislead no one. Grey squirrels are most likely the primary cause of acorn dispersal in the present, which is where we, and George, are. He said 'squirrels', and showed a particular species of squirrel. There's no contradiction, just a line where detail and elaboration become secondary.
