- In this episode we return to the fern dungeon in Tasmania to take a look at a giant tree fern called Cyathea cunninghamii, which is rare on the island compare to the much more ubiquitous Dicksonia antarctica. We also spend a moment with the bizarre geologic phenomenon known as "Tessellated Pavement".

When I was a kid I found out about tree ferns somehow and was really taken with the idea of a tree that was a fern. I wish they grew around where I live. Thanks for another great video, I also liked the Linux plug.
Vancouver Island is a temperate rainforest too, I love the life on life on life. I live the eastern side of the island which is in a rain shadow. But the diversity is just as spectacular! But these prolonged droughts are seriously affecting the water needing western red cedar thuja pilcata and yellow cedar callitropsis nootkatensis.
Would love the see a BC rainforest episode, with Calypso orchids.
Parksville boy here, living in Sooke. Would be awesome to see him botanize the southern West Coast, and the northern part of the island, around Nootka Sound
That's cross-bedding in the sandstone, signs of dunes on a windy beach or desert environment. On a small scale (flatter angles) cross-bedding also occurs in water.
I concur. Although water cross-bedding tends to be of a steeper angle when produced by underwater currents (ripples) and shallower angles when produced by wind currents (dunes). A flat lamination in the sand granulometric range would also imply a higher velocity current.
I change water meters and change the concrete boxes they're in and honestly it's nice seeing all the wildflowers and small wildlife Texas has to offer
I bet if you wanted to you could start collecting wildflowers and pressing them for display. I reckon you see quite a diverse selection of wildflowers
@@bayersbluebayoubioweapon8477 Another thing that's fun to do with collected items is to scan them while they are fresh, before drying. The photo gives valuable information on colors, sizes, etc, before the changes induced by dehydration.
I vote you hit New Zealand and Cyathea medullaris and then do s stop over to Lord Howe Island and the great Kentia palm forests. The Seychelles..Coco de mer palm..I wait for all that one day.
Give me three weeks
If he goes live from a forrest in eastern Ukraine each subscriber has to give him $100
❤ So Beautiful ❤
When I go to visit my brother in Tasmania, I’m going to use these videos as crib notes. Thank you.
I know its not nealy as pleasant when you're physically there, but being stuck in a (sub)urban plains environment, the urban botany videos give me some hope for the world, plus your commentary on humanized and terraformed landscapes is hilariously entertaining.
Also I like trains so train yard botany is a double whammy.
Another great video! And yup, "In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?" GNU/Linux, baby!
Wonderful video. I love your going and hiking. I am no longer able to do it. These primative plants have fascinated me.
I would die to see the extant temperate rainforests of past Britain. The old wildwoods of Hazel, Elm, and Oak. Now we have sheep and bare grazing land... fucks sake
and some people are trying to protect the UKs "iconic" pastures. its not even naturally occurring, only occurring because of agriculture!
‘A Forest Journey’ by John Perlin, originally published in 1989 was recently released by Patagonia in February 2023 is an absolutely fascinating read! (I mean, if you’re fascinated by stuff like that… which most of us commenting here probably will be) .., it’s a great study of the history and devastation of forests/wood products by humanity in the pursuit of “growth”…or you know, “civilization” and what the shit! Check it out!
Whats even worse is that they tried to turn New Zealand into that. Like, sure, ruining the temperate rainforests of Britain is bad enough. But ruining a lost world with world class biodiversity and unique landscapes to make it match the destroyed landscapes of home? I honestly cannot believe that anyone could do such a thing.
I am so confused about this mans schedule and travel itinerary 😂
At 7:08 there appears to a couple of square cuts in the cliff side, a strange place for something like that to be. ?
when I see holes like that in my country, I know that most probably, they were carved out by hermit monks a 1000 years ago, but in this case, who and why carved those?
I was wondering the same thing.
@@amyeff7279 enquiring minds want to know!!
must have been the famous black hermit cockatoos
It’s called erosion.
AlwYs intriguing! I value your videos my bro! 🤙🏽🙏🏽
Would be great to travel around the world and see the earths beauty.
Love it ..Great stuff.
This looks like the Halo level when you find out about the Flood.
Pretty sure I know that first trail, nice spot.
Used to stay on the property on a regular basis, haven't made it down there in a number of years.
I'm sceptical that the location is Buckland as mentioned in the caption
I can't believe you found the Minecraft pavement out there! 😂 What a beautiful world we live in. ❤
*nods in Linux*
Actually, back when I ran windows, I found a little service that would forever bump back the update reboot time to prevent it from ever interrupting me. It did mean I'd have to remember to reboot once in a while, but it definitely stopped that painful annoyance...
That tessellated pavement is something else!
Man I never can get enough of your perspective
Your eyes are so morphological, I love it
The height of that Cyathea blows my mind. The whole forest looks prehistoric.
YT autoplay is a trip....it went from this lovely Tony production to three hours of water sounds and piano music at a channel called "Soothing Relaxation", with ten million goddamn subs, and all the herbs to rub on your ass you could ever hope for. I prefer knowledge to water sounds.
looks like good dinasaur hunting territory...
It does look like a world-out-of-time... ❤
Wicked cool geology and the plants are ok too.
Aw, hell! You're in Tasmania?! Sooo sweet
But, you're our favorite & intelligent jackass. Much love Joey, cool shit there. Thanks for sharing.
JOEY while ur down under please come to west Australian south south, many incredible forests with some big trees
Wow 😳 Mother nature is great 🤔😄😉
Hahhahaha! Team members 😂
🔥SHOW ME THE TRICHROMES! 🌲
I LOVE TRICHROMES. Those hairy dicksonia bastards do it for me.
I just learned about Proteales and Cycadales (but sadly not Cyatheales until today)! Real freaky lookin' things.
Just started following the channel and I gotta say, when he mentions scientific names, I have no fucking clue what the hell he's talking about but gah'damn something about that thick northeastern accent is oddly satisfying to listen to. Especially when he's talking shit or just engaging with the local wildlife...
...
I can't stop watching this shit...
I love ferns, and not just because its my last name.
hah is that mountain sweat rightthur next to the office terrarium that gave Bob the cough - found a good view wow - lates
Tone does the cretaceous, nice! Just needs some sphenopyhtes and lycophytes and you're there !
Wish somebody would discover a living lepidodendron in a remote valley somewhere like wollemia.
Love it when you call windows a virus which it surely is.
That forest, the tree ferns, even the boardwalk design, I could swear it is New Zealand. Hope you manage to visit here.
Aussie birdies are so rowdy ☺️
11:50 ❤🌳🍃
AMOGUS FLOWER 04:25
I love a laag on the raak.
I could almost imagine a sauropod munching away on one of those Cyathea or one of their ancestors some time in the cool dark days of the cretaceous.
best sign off ever
you made it down under! Are you gonna hit mainland Australia?
You have to tell us more about about the banging on the ground. Don't leave me hanging. Love your videos and take on progress slash civilization. Just give us links in a post. Ferns are cool.
See also : Alternation of generations... Gametophyte phase, sporophyte phase. In Angiosperms, the pollen grain is the Gametophyte. In tree ferns, the Gametophyte resembles a little heart shaped plantlet the size of a thumb, which germinates from a spore.
www.researchgate.net/publication/226855253_Tree_Ferns_Biotechnology_From_Spores_to_Sporophytes
Gametophytes are haploid (half as many chromosomes/genetic material as the parents). The Gametophyte produces both egg and sperm on it, but generally at different times in order to promote outcrossing & genetic diversity. It is on the Gametophyte that the actual "banging" and merging of genetic material (haploid + haploid = diploid aka a full set of genes) occurs. Once this happen, the plant that we actually think of when we think of a tree fern starts growing.
what is the difference between the genus Lomatia and Grevillea? they belong 2 the same family of plants and their morphologies are very similar too.
Absolutely insane
👀... terrestrial leeches freak me out man. Thank God we only have the swimming ones here in the US I think.
I wonder how many you pulled off of you while there? Heard they can get in your armpits & everywhere
I think the Cyathea being the main Aussie Tree fern genus likes a hotter climate than Tasmania. They are crazy over planted in SoCal, and we even had them in Bakersfield, the taint of the Satan.
8:21 Yeah, fondle dat fern, friend!
That bird at 10:09 was a yellow tailed black cockatoo.
7:06 wows
......."they're just trying to make it in the world..." LOL
like tile but with moss instead of grout
Gahhhh i want to go to Tasmania soo bad
Leaches? Hell no. Nope. Never going there.
I just found where’s Waldo! Behind the bushes!
come to India bro.. western ghats .. the sandy dunes of rajasthan.. riverfronts of ganges .. himalayas.. flatlands of north india.. sundarbans .. there is lots of diversity of land and weather types in india. it could be fun !!
I saw a Tasmanian Tiger! They live…
Wait Joey i nEED ANSWERS.. my mind is BLOWN. hOWw does a nonvascular plant get this big?? I was taught they had to be small to maintain moisture levels...
How do they get the minerals for lignin?? Is it even lignin?
Tree Ferns have a vascular system. Bryophytes don't.
@7:10
Ferns are the best people.
So true ❤
Nice to see but buggar the leeches. Separating Dicksonia from Cyathea is much easier than this: Cyathea fronds have scales and no hairs(although some scales can be very narrow and hairlike) while Dicksonia have hairs and no scales, thus the unfurling frond that you fondle is a Cyathea as it has scales.
Do you have any photos of the tessellated pavement?
he did...5:20 to about 6:21
@@susanrichardson3220 Ah, as in the format of aforementioned wallpaper/screensaver
I don’t know dick about botany but I just saw some type of tree fern in Costa Rica while visiting my cousin nice
He’s Mr World wide but for plants
Are you still in TAS want to check an epic trichocereus garden
thanks for touching grass for me
We aren’t even team members anymore, we’re ‘resources’ lol
Your going to get eaten by a t-rex in that valley. Say hi to Turok!
For Cyathea cunninghamii at their best go to the mildest and wettest places in New Zealand. I guess they look so crappy in Tassie because they like 3 to 5 thousand mm of rain per annum. 😂
Tony Santore is King of botany.
you know ? after all these years i finally realised that botany does pay
if you combine it with crime
So Gneiss I watched Tweiss
Daht cahm
WTF!!🪴
Cross Bedding Tony
Where are all the orchids mate ?

Linux can actually reduce your risk of viruses, including STI's.

I'm trying to listen to your podcast, and this is not normal for your podcasts, but there's literally more ads than there is podcast, I had to listen to actually like 8 ads within the first 10 minutes
So, the ferns, ancient things, reproduce through spores? Or? Can you speak more to the reproduction of gametophytes in future videos?
Hello my friend I hope you dont mind me answering! All plants reproduce by alternating generations in a diplohaplontic lifestyle. Sporophytes, which are the usual big trees flowers and bushes we see, produce spores (pollen). Gametophytes, which are usually consumed for the development of the baby sporophyte in the seed, produce gametes (sperm and eggs). So plants produce both spores and sperm/eggs! Another cool thing about this is that mosses and liverworts reverse this system, where the big visible parts are the gametophytes and the capsules they create are the sporophytes!
Oh also sorry forgot to mention how seedless plants grow sporophytes! So instead of a seed, ferns will release their spores. When one of these spores land they grow into a gametophyte mat that's super tiny and sometimes heart shaped ❤. When this gets fertilized by a sperm, the ferns (sporophyte) we see grow out of it, soon becoming the dominant generation!
You go to some bloody cool looking place's.
But forgot to make mention of the elephant in the room, "they want you to believe the pavement is natural but it was actually ancient Aliens!". :-)
Silly ancient conspiracy theorists.
sporophyll?... more like borophyll lol jk 💚
Tasmanian Tiger Country.
"Dungeon" of Dicksonia ( how the "Laurales" is is growing in the a trunk of Dicksonia?... roots?..some light?...less cold?...humidity?..😅....The squares of the Tessellated😮, a Human made them😅...could be the trunk to recognized the Cyatheaceae🤔
If I recall the trunk of tree fern is not really a “solid wood” - some species of tree fern chunks of trunk are used as a combo flower pot water holding medium in one (like coconut coir)
@@chrissonnenschein6634 ok, you say that the trunk of Dicksonia maintaining water to the plant like Laurales germinate, growth ( until some size...problably) with some light...ok agree...the water is keept by the size of the trunk of Dicksonia, and the hairs to?🤔
@@anaritamartinho1340 in essence yes...been a long time for me to address this... as a metalworker ...
@@anaritamartinho1340 i have seen carved in various ways to support plant but wick/hold moisture ... like stared not all of the tree fern soecies are lije this and have very little personal...only what i hsve seen done.
@@anaritamartinho1340 like planting pots and border edging in some more proppa gardens and “arboretums” here in uk. just cant think of the words trying to say
Yap, yap, yap. Too much personal talking and not focused on the environment.
The thumbnail of this vid almost made me think you're in the lower peat lands of the Netherlands😂 google images: laagveenlandschap
