17:33 Dr. Tallamy sense of humor - screen your neighbor that you don’t like… 😆 … If not for anything else I encourage to read his books for that very humor.
How does this not have more views? This is some really good information! Didn't realize how beneficial grass was! Thanks!!
Water moves acorns much farther than BlueJays do.
Good job I like your talk.
Look into air pruning boxes. You can build them. Your newly planted acorns will have a lot more roots and grow faster. I have red oaks jumping 3-4 feet a year due to this method.
Thank you for listing natives that coppice well. My landscapers work w a small space…we’ll try more natives coppice.
Thank you for the chapters and the information on the red buckeye. I saw this in bloom on a walk. Watched many videos on natives but this first time mention this plant!
Acorns or eggcorns? 😅
Update on the cicada section for summer 2024- we live in central Illinois ( Coles County) and had both broods emerge here. The most in the country I believe. We even got on the news. We had to wear mowing earphones outside if we were going to be out more than a few minutes it was so loud! And… they do kill trees. Lots of them. Any small tree got decimated. They killed 3 of my Cornus Florida dogwoods and one was 17 feet tall.
The Fringtree, what about the EAB, I know it's susceptible but what have you seen?
This is such a great video. Thanks!
Really enjoying this so far. Speaker obvious knows the subject and holds your attention. Enjoying the specific plant types and getting some good ideas for my small space.
I plant rue for the giant swallowtail
Love Doug and his passion! Please plant more oaks everyone ♥
absolutely wonderful, thank you so much! I am excited to go out tomorrow to one of my most familiar spaces and see what I notice and wonder!
This was such a great presentation. Thanks for making it available via your UA-cam channel!
Had signed up for this webinar but missed it, so I was glad to be able to watch the recording. I learned so much and Leah's enthusiasm for her subject matter is infectious (in a good way)! Thanks Jenkins for the great programming.
Such fun!
Is there a way to modify the presentation and remove the Karl Forster? It is not a native.
Regarding interlocking tree roots, 29:40, i would argue its the exact opposite. On my property we have had some fierce storms and straight line winds. One storm blew through in 2001 and took down over an acre of forest trees that were all within a few feet of each other. Meanwhile the large hedge trees all stood strong.
Enjoyed very much
I’ve tried planting mostly endangered and threatened / extirpated plants in my garden here in Carnegie, PA. It’s well worth the pain finding them at nurseries/online and taking care of them.
Love KF feather reed grass/Calamagrostis... But is that native? I don't believe so, but maybe I'm not remembering correctly??
There are native calamagrostis species in the U.S but, you’re definitely correct, Calamagrostis X acutiflora or ‘Karl forester’ feather reed grass is not native to North America. Everyone makes mistakes, but given how overused it is in landscapes, a little hard to believe someone making a presentation on native grasses and sedges including both c3 and c4 grasses as well as explaining poaceae inflorescences, wouldn’t know that 🤔
@@oscarflip8561 thanks 👍 And...I admit... That I'll keep using it till there is something else that really fills its shoes! It's everywhere, but every time it does it's job. Karl smiles on every garden.
@@ericjorgensen8028 while it’s not necessarily a negative plant since it’s sterile and doesn’t become invasive or even exotic and naturalized, many skipper butterflies use only native grasses as host plants, and birds use those caterpillars from the skipper butterflies as a vital food source, and also eat the seeds of many of the native grasses as a winter food source. So while not necessarily bad, Karl forester grass doesn’t provide many of the important ecological services our native grasses do. I have some at my house that I planted before I knew about the significance of native plants, and it does look nice- but there’s better options. I recommend experimenting with some yourself. There are so many ornamental natives that weren’t mentioned in this video. My favorites are probably little bluestem, blue grama, and split-beard bluestem, but once again, there’s so many for every look! (I think Indian grass, is probably the best look-alike native replacement.) hope you decide to try some native grasses, they may surprise you with their beauty!
Fantastic presentation. Thank you, Professor Tallamy
I have a question please, but first great info. I want to Plant trees close together to interlock roots but i want them far enough apart to allow grass to grow underneath. I understand different varieties have different root systems but i hope there is a rule of thumb . Thanks in advance
What an interesting and informative video!
I bought a few acers and built a house in 2004. We started planting aurbor day oaks. Now these trees are doing nicely. I have planted oaks twice since then. This planting is continuing this year with 30 hybrid whites. 25 Regular whites crabapple, and white pine. I read your book, and I like what you say. You never stop educating yourself. I love the blue Jay story because I found an acorn on my railing and there are no oaks within several hundred yard's. I'm sure a Blue jay dropped it off. Thanks for the videos.
Such an amazing presentation! It made me discover iNaturalist, and since then I have photographed 230+ species over 350+ observations! Can't wait for Moth week next year!
I wish I was rich I woudl buy up some of this farmland that farmers sell developers to buy disgusting housing developments or strip malls that forever ruin the land. I live oustide of DC in MAryland and eventually all teh farmland will be turned into these overpriced homes because LOCAL governments get bribes from developers
Do some oak species produce more caterpillars than others?
Excellent talk
I am enjoying your talk very much as I also am a naturalist. I find your asking of “why”questions regarding why an organism has certain features or certain behaviors confusing. Evolution is described as random chance mixing of matter. Evolution does not “know” anything. It is not a thing, or a mind. There cannot be a “why” question. “why”questions are looking for reasons that an organism has certain characteristics. Reasons assume an intent or a plan. Random chance mixing of the basic elements cannot organize; Cannot create the language of DNA. Evolution is merely a naming word for the idea that random chance can create the information systems necessary for life. We are using language to say that no language is needed for life to come into existence. It’s time for a new theory.
Jay is Oak's life insurance.agent.
I have baby acorns growing everywhete but 😢 i have small land ....the bluejays 😮😮
I love Oaks. One of my favorite trees! So strudy and beautiful! We just bought some land, hope I can find some acorns to start some oak trees! Thank you for all the valuable information on oaks!
After Hurricane Andrew in 1992, I read that live oaks survived upright better than nearly any other tree, including palms.
Grate présentation thank you from Montréal
Always a pleasure listening to the legend Doug. I have been planting swamp white oak here almost daily, as well as other native trees, shrubs, wildflowers and herbs. I will continue to do my best to restore the habitat and forests that are right in our own backyards. Thank you everyone for doing your part. If you’re in southeastern MI then I have some acorns still if you’d be interested to come and get a few for yourselves. If you decide to find them on your own then you can test to see if they’re good or not with the water trick. Put them in a bucket of water and the floaters are no good while the ones that sink are good to be planted. I’ll continue to get more acorns myself and of different native species as well. Aiming to open a business eventually or an organization perhaps but for now just doing my best to be helpful. Anyways, great chat and look forward to many more.
Great information. I really enjoyed it. Thank you
For me, it needs to be my favorite oak -- the mighty, elegant, perfect white oak.
thank you Doug!
My Southern credentials are getting revoked because I 100% thought the Katydid sound was cicadas.
Very interested in additional Koromo Shikibu content

Really enjoyed this! So informative
Burr Oak going to replace the gingko. Z5, Ontario. One.tree.at.a.time.
Great video, thank you! Those caterpillars that look like twigs was truly mind-blowing. The more people learn about nature, the more they will be interested and want to preserve it. I was disappointed that Doug didn't answer the question about mulching leaves (unless all times are truly equally destructive). I have tried for years to save my leaves with out mulching, but I find the whole leaves just blow around and don't stay on my beds or under the trees. I finally bought a leaf mulcher this year, and now they stay where I put them (which is essential on smaller properties). If there is a less-bad time to mulch that would really be helpful to know.
I've seen a few of those bugs that cheat in bars. Randall Carlson start to finish. Extinctions require knowledge.
Wise counsel on this tree. There's more to an oak than I knew. I like it.
