So I just looked up the long leaf pine in my field guide of medicinal plants and herbs. Fun fact the confederate soldiers used this. They made terpentine from this tree. Mixed it with beeswax and used it to polish their boots and keep their feet dry. 😊 Also was used in confederate hospitals to keep the odor smell low. This tree is very important for the ozone. ❤ 👍👍👍👍👍
Robert, when you plant your tree, put a tablespoon of peroxide in a gallon of water. It will help the plant make root. It works!! Once a week until you see that its rooting.
Excellent information, and another great idea. I certainly hope you have success with the transplants. The Old Byrd Farm will be a showcase of "what to dos." You amaze me in your knowledge and plans. 👍👍❣️❣️
A wealth of information on pines. I am a North Florida native and have been around pines in my youth. We now live in Southern Alabama and around many pine trees. My husband knows all of the species. I know a bit. You are accomplishing a lot on the Old Bird Farm, Robert. I know that it was good to be with your mom and sure that she was so excited to be with you.❤
internet says the pines that grow fast and for commercial use in Georgia are Loblolly, so those that were planted are probably Loblolly. Also most pines in Georgia are Loblolly now. the most natural pine is the Longleaf only grows in the south from Georgia to Texas.
Nothing says home for the holidays as stealing some memories to take back to your own house! 😂 It's inner bark can be eaten. Pine bark extract is good for your skin too.
Well you doing a good job there 👏 were I live they have planted 1000 native trees 🌳 to help wildlife on barren land so you are helping your natural surroundings on the good old Byrd farm house 🏠 all the best Robert 👍 👌 and have a good week Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
Hi Robert I have long leaf and loblolly pines in an 800 acre stand behind my house. At Easter time they hav the crosses at the top. And they also cover the region with yellow pollen 😊😊. It’s a joke that if a person stands still long enough outside in the spring they will be completely covered with pollen 😮 I love the 19:0119:06 way the the wind sounds through the pine needles. The trees behind my house are about 100 feet tall
Thank you Robert for showing us the difference in the biodiversity in your State. The pines you call short leaved pine look similar to what we call Scotch pines here in Alberta. It's always amazed me how different our own province is just a few hours apart North and South, East and West. The Southern part has cactus, rattlesnake, black widow and brown reclue spiders also antelope, and a few hours North we don't have any of those. I live closer to the mountains on the West central area and we have none of those, lots of grizzly , elk , moose, deer, and pine and spruce forests. The pine beetles have been decimating our forest for years, with our forest fires this year, I'm hoping that it took care of those lil critters for awhile. Wishing you a Happy and prosperous New Year.
When I lived in Fla . during the hurricanes , many gopher tortoises were displaced . They are a protected species and you cannot disturb their holes or keep them as pets . The Christmas trees were not the traditional trees I was familiar with.
I love seeing the long leafs in the Sandhills of NC -- Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Whispering Pines. There must be an entire band of sand along the coasts of NC, SC and GA to be able to grow these stunning trees. The official toast of North Carolina celebrates the long leaf pine: Here’s to the land of the long leaf pine, The summer land where the sun doth shine, Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great, Here’s to “Down Home,” the Old North State! Here’s to the land of the cotton bloom white, Where the scuppernong perfumes the breeze at night, Where the soft southern moss and jessamine mate, ‘Neath the murmuring pines of the Old North State! Here’s to the land where the galax grows, Where the rhododendron’s rosette glows, Where soars Mount Mitchell’s summit great, In the “Land of the Sky,” in the Old North State! Here’s to the land where maidens* are fair, Where friends are true and cold hearts rare, The near land, the dear land, whatever fate, The blest land, the best land, the Old North State!
Pray you and your family had a very Merry and Blessed Christmas, Robert. I have NEVER seen a Long leaf Pine anywhere up here in Upper Northeastern Illinois.
The planted pines you first mentioned look like the "Digger Pine" trees that were out on my dad's place in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. My dad didn't like them as he called them a scrub pine with little timber value, but they could be used for pulp wood. Also, in doing research a few years ago, I found that there is some species of cacti that grow in all 48 contiguous U.S. As strange as it seems, even in SW Minnesota can be found a type of prickly pear cactus.
Our friends in Gray, Georgia have a pine tree farm that goes back generations. It was interesting learning about them. Pine trees are so beautiful and smell so good.
I’ve never heard of the long leaf pine tree until I saw it on your short story. I sure appreciate the history about it. From some of the comments the long leaf pine was used for many different things., even its sap. You mentioned it likes sanding soil but I’m sure it couldn’t survive in Florida. Wonder why it’s a slow growing tree. It’s a shame that there’s not many left today. I would wonder are they becoming endangered trees? I’m so fascinated about them that I’m going to try to read up on its life span n all else. So happy you’re taking a few to plant in the OBF. I’m gonna think positive thoughts that they will survive. I was impressed with that one that lightning had hit it was huge. Sorry for a long comment. I get carried away when something impresses me LOL. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy New Year Robert. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟👍🐶🐶
Thanks Robert for that bit of information on the long leaf pine. I hope the transplanting goes well on the Old Byrd Farm. Please keep us updated on how they are doing.
Love the old Byrd farm shows.all of your shows are very interesting ,im a history buff .born in 1955 so some of the things you show I recognize. Thank you ,happy new year!
There are some educational Park like setting where trying to protect and expand the Longleaf pine tree The tree is ecosystem anchor ⚓ Were many other forest dependent critters live including a tortoise like turtles birds that call Longleaf pine forest home
Very informative video!! I did not know the difference between these long, longer pine tree needles. N.E. PA. Great video. Always look forward to all your channels! Merry Christmas.
Looking sharp. If you have not heard it a favorite song of mine is Slow Train through Georgia by Norman Blake. It’s on RUclips, he mentions red clay and long leaf pine.
Robert you look handsome dressed for Christmas. I have heard about long leaf pine trees but hadn't seen one. Now i can identify it if i ever come across one. Happy Holidays
Interesting stuff, those long leaf pines look so unusual when they're young. Can see why they're getting rare given they take so long to grow. We've only got the introduced pinus radiata in NZ for timber. There's a pretty big problem with them spreading into our more native areas from self seeding. Cool to see there's initiatives for regenerating the native trees where you are 😊
In Washington state we have the ponderosa pine which has really long needles like that. In mature trees their bark is a red orange. It is replanted after logging. I think its growth rate would fall between your junkier loblolly pine and the long leaf pine. It is considered to be a softer wood. Looks like you were getting rained on as your vest looked like it! Keep up the good work and good videos!
Great video Robert. I’m here in Tx where we have a number of different pines but the most populated is the Loblolly Pine! They grow extremely fast and live a long time and get huge! That’s cool you’re taking back some of those pines to your place! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and god bless!
that is such great information. I will have to look up more information about the “indigenous “ plants of georgia's trees. 🌲 great seeing the difference between long and short leaf pine, and how they grow. have a great day good luck getting them planted. I got some oaks from my dads place a few years back now they are starting to take off!
Did they use the Long Leaf to build the log cabins way back? So many log cabins and homes stood the test of time. thank you for ALL these GREAT videos and all the work it takes to make them!,
We have knob cone pine trees out here in oregon the cones grow up the trunk of the tree their not much good for anything. And the eastern part of oregon we have lodge pole. Thats what they made cabins from. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Robert and Family
The planted pines you see everywhere are Loblolly pines. They are native to almost the entire state of GA, but were not the predominant species. Longleaf pine savannahs and mixed shortleaf pine and oak forests would have been the predominant forest types on upland sites. Loblolly’s would have historically grown in lower, poorly drained areas of these forests. They happen to grow very quickly and uniformly, and can grow in just about all soil types, so are a perfect fit for the timber industry
longleaf pine is an anchor tree for building an eco system and usually thrive after a fire 🔥 the very young tree gets it leafs scorched then ? transformation inspires it to really take off and grow the longleaf old growth was harvested almost to instinction when building wooden ships was in glory longleaf Pine is one of the strongest of tree and were used for the mast that sails hung from as anchor tree for habitat that draws other wildlife to live with out the anchor 🌲 tree wouldn't be
That's enlightening. I thought all pines are the same so I was wondering at that time why you were cutting down those pines at your place. Thought you were throwing away money 😅
Vincent J. Cirillo, PhD wrote a paper for the New Jersey Medical Historical Society about turpentine from Loblolly and also the long leaf pine. The arrival is about the use of turpentine for the last recourse for 5 diseases during the Civil War. Found on Google and also RUclips.
They obviously never had a fireplace growing up. I remember looking for lightered pine in the woods with my daddy. It smells so good! It doesn't take much to get that fire started. We used the fire for our main source of heat until I was in the 5th grade. I am 60 now, and I still miss the fires...❤
Hey Robert, I have at least a dozen glass containers that were once candles. I've cleaned out all the residual wax, and removed the labels. I really don't have the time to do anything with them, and wondered if you wanted them for your candle making. I'd be happy to ship them to you at no cost to you. I'd like to keep them out of the dump, and see them become something useful. Please let me know what you decide.
North Florida they called sand pines . The long leaf pines are what was called heart of pine . Them leafes around that baby pine are we call turkey oaks aka black jack oaks they are named for the leafes looks like turkey feet .
Heya, looks like you’re in my neck of the woods! I live between okefenokee and jeykll island so I have a bit of both sandy and swampy traits on my property. I have a few videos of our creek on the property
Sad to see the habitat doing so poorly forcing the tortoises out to the roads to find sunlight and food. Wish y’all could get a fire in there and start cutting down the hardwoods (not killing them, just putting the growth back at the ground level). They really need the ground growing plants instead of covered with pine straw and leaves. You find them out by the road since there is no canopy to shade those plants. In a fire maintained ecosystem longleaf pine with use turkey oak as surrogates to start growing under. The oak leaves are less flammable making the growing conditions easier for the young longleaf. Neat trees but even more important gopher tortoise please help improve their living conditions. And if you say they are thriving show us baby tortoise holes. They are a heck of a lot smaller. Normally people find 8-10 holes and say they are everywhere. They move from home to home but you could only have one or two animals in that population where they are slowly dying with no hope or repopulating. They can be moved to a better home with the hope they produce baby’s. Excited to see what y’all do.
When I was a kid there was a long leaf pine tree close to where I lived by the way I live in NW GA about 100 miles north of you but that tree had the biggest pine cones on it one Christmas me and my brother gathered a big sack full for a man that worked in a hospital to use as decoration,by the way I am now 78 so the tree is not there anymore

Yes, many many uses for this tree
I have heard you talking about them, it's nice to see the tree at last. Good luck with the transplant. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you'll do an episode of the transplanting of the Longleafs on the Old Byrd Farm.
Pine trees are my favorite. Love the smell & the sound of wind through the branches/needles.

You can also plant the pinecones in pots that fit the cones with the top half sticking out of the dirt.
Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us. May they survive the transplanting. 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you learned about the pine trees that I never even knew existed, have a happy holiday with your mom
Up in North Ga we refer to them as Heart Pine. Ala state tree is "Longleaf Heart Pine"
Our friends in Gray, Georgia have a pine tree farm that goes back generations. It was interesting learning about them. Pine trees are so beautiful and smell so good.

Another interesting thing to learn about and to watch as progress is made,on the OBF. 😁👍💖From KY.
What an amazing plant, are they on the endangered list? I think its awesome you're transplanting to the OBF, wishing you both success!
The species is not endangered but is getting more rare.

Like this video, about the different soil types and the history of pines in Georgia. Thanks
Hello, and very beautiful pines as I have never heard of them thank you for sharing with us all the best on the trees. Take care
Those are so cute! Too bad they take so long to grow! 🇨🇦❤️
That reminds me of what my late husband used to say. "Higher than a Georgia pine!!!"

Fatlighter is a common thing in the south. I think it's funny that you can buy 5 and 10 pound boxes of it on Amazon .... used as fire kindling.

Fatlighter is part of heartpine that is very flammable and loaded with resins
@@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG So it would burn easy and fast? Or would it be like the tree hit by lightning dead and standing?
It burns easy and usually kind of slowly and hot
They obviously never had a fireplace growing up. I remember looking for lightered pine in the woods with my daddy. It smells so good! It doesn't take much to get that fire started.

North Florida they called sand pines . The long leaf pines are what was called heart of pine . Them leafes around that baby pine are we call turkey oaks aka black jack oaks they are named for the leafes looks like turkey feet .
There are 10 species of pine in GA. Longleaf is my favorite
Mine too
Heya, looks like you’re in my neck of the woods! I live between okefenokee and jeykll island so I have a bit of both sandy and swampy traits on my property. I have a few videos of our creek on the property
Awesome
Sad to see the habitat doing so poorly forcing the tortoises out to the roads to find sunlight and food.
Wish y’all could get a fire in there and start cutting down the hardwoods (not killing them, just putting the growth back at the ground level). They really need the ground growing plants instead of covered with pine straw and leaves.

FIELD TRIP!
Christmas field trip too! 😅
💜💜💜
The stuff you called moss is actually Lichen probably a type called Reindeer lichen.
I wonder if the reason it stays in that grassy stage for so long is for the tree to establish a deep root system in the sandy soil
Probably so
Time Will Tell You Old Wood Is Good Wood. 😎👍✌.
I just planted 50 acres after Hurricane Michael destroyed them. Important to do. In Decatur county Georgia
Is not this the one they used to weave baskets from the long leaf needles by native Americans?
I’m not sure
State tree of NC.
Let me guess. You stepped on a prickly pear cactus.
Correct
No wisteria 😊
Go ahead and take two, your mom won’t care😳
Actually I took 3.
What's fat lighter?
Pine wood with high resins so burns easy
How did you know?
About?
