“...a White pine. White, w-i-t-e, five letters, five sprigs...” (4:29)
Sorry, I’m a tech writer and these things pop out at me. I just had to smile. Great video, James!
Lol. Then you will love this channel spelling is a running joke on here. I like to put in things like that from time to time.
just don't get confused with pitch pine, red pine, yellow pine, virginia pine, ponderosa pine which all have 2, 3, 4 or 5 needles despite the number of letters in the name.
He's a tree expert not a math expert.
I was waiting for the story of Capt. Dickory and what he built his dock out of. Thanks for the awesome video! Very informative!
@@jdowies Indeed- we all make mistrakes
This is one of the simple lessons that should be taught in school. Taxes should be taught too.
And first aid.
True that. They should also replace history with current events related to law and government. History's basically just about war and slavery, which are just confusing concepts for young, innocent children to grasp. It's even hard for some adults to grasp the concept of, because we're taught about it so dryly, and at ages where we have no life experience to make it even seem real. Some things should be learned out of curiosity, and with sensitivity, not just for a grade.
@@maybewise We'll have to agree to disagree, I'm a history buff, I love history. The only problem is, school teaches you what they want to teach, From my own personal research on different times in history, I can say the school leaves out important parts of history, or they won't teach the whole story.
@@cookingradar5974 So you explored it out of curiosity, and not just for a grade? XD... That's my point. That's how it should be. Maybe I just had bad history teachers, but we weren't granted the chance to be curious, and explore interesting subjects on a deeper level. Especially not in grade school. It was just like "Memorize these names and dates of wars, and get out.". And I'm bad at memorizing things I don't feel connected to. So I was never good at history. But now, I read about history in my free time, because it's actually interesting, just severely flawed in the way it's taught to kids, in my opinion.
@@maybewise lol I guess you're right 🤣
You seem like a very happy man. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your voice and tone has the power to lift someone’s mood.
Yeah, that's what's making a couple people say it's creepy. Miserable people always try to dull the shine of naturally Happy people by calling them creepy or something wrong with them. I swear.
Great video, James. I love tree spotting, too! My kids think I'm some kind of wizard because I know their names. Not the kids' names, the trees. 😄
LOL my wife hates walking with me! I am always spotting trees and she just wants to talk!
just my .02, but you should know the kids' names, too. :)
I had 4 kids very close together , I drove a truck their first years on the planet , and I was only home 3 or 4 days a month, and would get their names wrong sometimes, it would make my wife crazy mad 😡
You've inspired me to be a better dad and take what's his face out hiking with me. Thanks
@@roblena7977it’s folks like you that make reading the comment section worthwhile. Thanks for the laugh :)
As a KY mountains grandkid. My great grandma at 90 plus years could ID almost every plant on her home place also telling the uses of them as medical use or building use
A forgotten art.,Same to say.
My mom can do the same! 😀
It's kind of crazy for me to realize how many trees are in one place. And how similar some of the characteristics are. Very informative! Thank man.
thanks! glad i could help!
Tree ID videos are wonderful - do more of these!
I think I will do one for winter time on just identifying by bark and structure.
Great video friend. This helped a lot. I owned a landscaping business that sables in tree work and this is perfect. You moved at a comfy steady pace and added no fluff
Thank you for taking up your time and teaching me…..❤. Hope you keep doing these amazing videos ❤
I love this video! Trying to know the tree's like my Grandfather use too.Passing it on to my kids.Thank you!
Nice being in the woods with beautiful Trees, soothing to touch them!
This was the most comprehensive, clear, thorough video I have found so far in identifying trees. Great video!!
Thanks. That means a lot.
Thanks. You info is great and I think its fun identifying trees as I do my daily walks in the woods.
Excellent video! Learned so much I couldn’t retain it all, I’m going to have to save it to a playlist and finish later. Appreciate your efforts!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your beautiful family.
I was looking for a guide to common trees, you gave it and you made it fun. I recognized a few, from the park across the street. Others were new, and others (like oak) were widely known. You made it informative enough that I feel confident the next time I'm out and looking for what kind of trees are around me. Thanks.
Thanks man that means a lot.
Arthur is adorable! Thank you. God bless
LOL yup he is a blast to have around.
Also I read there is a star in the twig of a cottonwood when you break it in half. Wonderful video and very helpful!
Very educative and inspiring. Many thanks to Authur for being a courteous companion
Love the beginning of this video ad slit your bring your kid into the woods showing him the different types of trees getting him involved excellent job dude great parenting
Thanks!
Thank You Thank You this was great I really needed that. Also thank you for all the places to check.
My pleasure Thom! glad I could help!
I just love listening to someone when I write. But not some someone, but someone that talks with passion about things that it likes to do
Very informative video. More identification books I've seen use perfect examples and are really difficult to match. Your video is much clearer.
Bookmarked the arbor site as well, never knew about that one.
+roguemind cool thanks man!
This is awesome. I am a newb who recently purchased The Secret Life Of Trees. Now I'm hooked, trying to get as much info and knowledge as I can. I appreciate your video.
Thanks. Sounds like you're having fun.
You missed the H in W-H-I-T-E
Thank you for sharing all your information about trees I love the video and will be watching again 💞
That is a running gag on the channel. We have fun with spelling here.
Thanks for the info. I love learning about trees. Shrubs are a different matter 🤔. There's just so many.
I watched this 3 times in a row! Such great information!
thanks! glad I could help!
Thanks for the video! I'm so excited for my tree adventure!!!
James, thank you! I love hiking and I love woodworking but don’t get ID tips like this day to day. BTW, whatever your Steadicam is, you made a killer investment. This video is absurdly stable.
thanks man. this is the one I used. amzn.to/2gHAvmr the video was shot on my cell phone and the audio was recorded through my normal studio camera.
I love cottonwood trees. We had one big one in front yard of childhood home, it was so majestic.
Off course you get flowers then fruit you may want to identify at any time of the year, you have a good show many thanks
Thank you for the educational video James.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
More videos like this please 🙏
Thanks for sharing the apps and websites to identify trees 👍👌
A useful video on some of the more common tree types. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks.
Thank you so much! The app advice was invaluable, it's helped me greatly. Come to find out I have one wild cherry tree in my woods which is very exciting!
Nice. Glad I could help!
Thanks for taking your time to share brother !
Great walking tour James. Highly informational thanks for sharing.
thanks Opa!
Awesome video full of knowledge
Very educational. You and Arthur know your stuff. 🍁🌿
I love trees and I just started learning all their characteristics. My goal for 2020 is to be able to make a video like this in dutch. Thanks for the inspiration!
That would be so cool. I would love to see more videos like this from different places around the world. Showing native trees.
Thank You! Great information. I'm pretty good at tree identification but with these APPS it will help tremendously. Good Video James.
thanks. glad I could help a bit!
I am very familiar with shrubs and perennials but need to work on identifying trees. You gave me some really useful info and the links will help me even more. Thanks!!
thanks Deby. I am the other way around!
Thanks James I loved this video and I wasn't expecting one so soon after you suggested it. These species aren't in Scotland although family members are. It was good seeing something different. The apps were good and I'll get it and use it.
Thnaks Laura. it would be fun to go to a different country and do a tree identification video there!
Lots of trees which aren’t native, might be in your neighbourhood because they’re planted as ornamentals.
Box Elder is called Manitoba Maple around here. That is the biggest Black Walnut I have ever seen, they are usually slightly smaller than a tennis ball up here. Elms are finally starting to make a comeback. They were about wiped out by Dutch Elm Disease years ago. Great video James.
the Elm have been making a good come back here though we do still have some Dutch Elm disease that pops up from time to time. there are a ton of names for box elder. ash-leaved maple, maple ash, lose maple, and I have heard a few others.
Now that's a bad ash video! I try to do the same thing with my kids when we are in the woods. My dad and his uncles did that with me! Very cool. Keep it up!
LOL thanks Bill!
Great info on Tree identification!
I've really been needing to know kinds of wood recently for different things, and this has helped a lot (unnecessary comment to boost algorithm 👉😎👉)
I am going to be looking up the shrubs in my yard now! Neat...just taking a photo! How easy! :)
yup for best answer hold a white piece of paper behind the leaf so you get a clear picture of just the leaf.
Wow you have a variety of trees on your prop. Thabks for the video
Hi , am new to tree sporting -this video helped me get started ! Thank you !
This is an excellent and informative video. Thanks James
thanks man!
That is such a cool video. Thank you, will try to be more observant in my next walk
Wow what a coincidence My father was James Wright and he worked in the woods he knew every tree by bark and leaf also.
In my many long years of consuming RUclips content this is by far the most helpful. Well done!
Thanks. glad I could help! I love walking through the woods!
Wood By Wright we are in the gutter cleaning business, so I’ve always been curious on when the leaves fall and what specific types they are!
Thanks for this! One of my great weaknesses is not being able to identify trees and potential wood. Great job!
Great information to know. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and letting us see those wild looking shoes!
LOL got to love trail running shoes!
Thanks a lot for this informative video!
Very informative, thank you!
Fantastic looking day to be out with the littles and showing them at the same time you show us about trees 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
+theduck love taking them to the park.
Wood By Wright you just showed us a great way to identify trees in the fall, is there an easy way to identify wood after it’s been milled?
Ps, parks like yours are a great class room 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So much great info... thanks!
+Robert J. Keller thanks Robert!
Helpful! Thank you. I'm trying to get better at plant and tree ID as I camp.
My pleasure!
Nice explanation Mr Wright. I wish you would also explain trees growing here in the Philippines with protruding roots vertically.
Wow I learned a lot. Great video. Thank you so much!👍
This was great. I work wood and this is super informative. Keep it up!👍
Thanks. I love playing the what tree is this game.
Love this video. I want to plant some trees, just a few and watch them grow. I planted too many in my yard so I have to find somewhere to. Put them. Also, I've been thinking of planting an American chestnut tree. They have crossed them with Chinese chestnut which have a natural immunity to the blight that wiped them out over the past century or so. A great tree and great wood.
+Chris Cunicelli I have never worked with chestnut. Sounds like fun!
You saved me on a woody Plants Mid Term, Thanks!
LOL thanks Justin!
Great video with lots of good info. Where I am is on the prairie, and there are no trees that grow naturally here, except some species native to the river valley. This means that every tree in my city was planted by a person. There are lots of elm trees, poplars and cottonwood trees. There are also some birch and mountain ash trees and lots of spruce and pine. Pretty much all the hardwoods for woodworking have to come here on a truck from Ontario, Québec or the maritimes.
+Jesse Terpstra yup some people get all the luck and some get stuck.
You’re great for this information 👍
Thanks James, this info is very helpful to me..
thanks James! my pleasure!
Love this, do some more! I recognized those poplar leaves and twigs but then you called them cottonwood. Looked it up, cottonwood and aspen are types of poplar. Learning begets learning.
LOL yup. got a lot of all three of those around here. there is a lot of cross-breeding. you should see swamp oak and bur oak. both can inter bread and you can have a tree that is 50% of each. and all of them are white oak. but there is a white oak that is also a classified as white oak. those get really confusing!
We call those “Cottonwood” here in Canada, too.
Great video. Thanks very much.
Excellent video, so informative! :)
Very well explained I live in Australia and I'm building an ornamental garden with deciduous trees And so I had heard of a lot of these but didn't know what they look like. Ive plane did some trees called pin Oak-trees I think there in the red oak family
It burns good and grows big but it’s no good for cooking with the wood has a stench to it, as far as fruit I’m not sure any is edible. Good heating wood though.
excellent fun video, thank you! especially for the websites to identify
Excellent educational video. Thanks.
When I saw the larger hickory, I thought maybe you had Shellbark as well as shagbark out there.
We have native shagbark and I have 4 Shellbark from seed growing and now fruiting, after some 20 years.
The seed parents were cut down by the University that late fall for a parking lot, so I didn't get any grafting wood that winter, just seeds and only because I grabbed them the day I noticed they were there.
Our native elms are dying off slowly here, but make for good woodpecker nests and morel mushroom sites later on.
Learned a few things here friend, so thanks.
Dear wood by wright - I got your reply via phone app . I realize the Dirr's manual is not for the average person with out some plant biology and or forestry background . Yes the cost varies either hard back edition and the paperback is not to out of range for the backyard or weekend gardener. We in St. Louis area can enjoy Missouri Botanical Gardens
" Plant Finder ", web site featuring 51,000 plants In common term and scientific genus . So keep up your good work in what your are doing and the one thing that stood out on your video was you taking your son out . Please keep the encouragement up with your son , and maybe someday we can have another person passionate of our natural resources just like you and I .
Great video, was looking for such a video with little success not so long ago, thanks for the info!
thanks! Glad I could help!
Great video mr wright sor lots information
Thanks for the information friend. 👍✌️
Super useful! Thank you, James.
my pleasure Jeffrey!
Love this video. Very informative.
thanks man!
The first lessons how to identify a tree in my entirely life, thank you.
Wish my school taught plant identification. Because you know, that actually prepares you for "the real world"
Food and medicine are nessecary.
im sure mcdonalds and big pharma have agendas for NOT letting us know what we have all around us ;)
@@3vanguardofthephoenix335 ikr
I have been waiting for someone to do a video like this I even spent $5 and getting an Tree finder app and from watching your video it is the same one that you use the tree ID
Glad I can help. I am thinking of doing short videos on individual trees.
Wood By Wright I live in New Hampshire and where I'm at I mostly see maple and Oak and pine trees
Great idea, @@WoodByWright, on the individual tree videos. Perhaps showing the trees in different seasons too. Also, showing dead or felled tree examples. (Love your vids/lessons - BTW.)
Wow that's great, very interesting and informative 👍
Thank you for the info! God bless you with more knowledge on nature!
thanks my pleasure!
Loved the video, and found it to be extremely helpful.
I am going "gung ho" with starting a wood working business ( Facebook page and RUclips channel shortly).
The channel is going to focus on how to start out with wood working, doing simple projects, with hand tools, and then slowly building and getting everything for a larger wood shop.
I am super excited about it, being very positive and understand it's an ambitious endeavor.
Sweet. Sounds like a lot of fun.
Great video!
Many years ago I lived on the extreme north side of Memphis, Tn. Walking in the woods one day I came upon the weirdest looking nut I had ever seen. Kind of like a black walnut except elongated a lot and a much lighter color. Kind of sticky also. Turned out to be a butternut. The nuts are very mild and WAY more work than they are worth. I do love trees though. Butternut lumber, also known as white walnut, is quite pretty.
Well done explained!!!
Awesome!
creepiest intro
Thanks for the info.
Hope Arthur is doing well in school whether you are home schooling or he is dealing with the scamdemic issues in his school. Great video. I have shared a lot of your knowledge with my grandchildren.
Thanks. We all homeschool so it's a lot easier for the kids they really haven't noticed much of any difference. Lol
Excellent video and very informative. Thank you!
thanks!
We have same type of videos and thank you for this informative video
Excellent video, thanks for the links on identification.
my pleasure Tim!
Thank you very much for this. i'll let you know how well this method works for me in Jamaica
Sweet! I would love to see what kind of trees you have there!
Glad find your channel
