very toxic looking

That's W O N D E R F U L 💓✨️

Aren't they the coolest! I haven't seen them nabbing any of my persimmons in New England, here. But, I do know they hoard mushrooms like crazy. (And, so do I. 😉😄😊👍🎸)

I presume that the flying squirrel was Glaucomys volans simply because Glaucomys sabrinus', range in the US is rather limited. The former is quite rare in my corner of the world. Sadly, I have never seen a specimen of Diospyros virginiana here. Legend has it of a few horticultural specimens, though.

Wintercreeper keeps me up at night. A beautiful 300 acre park I grew up with near me in Cincinnati is completely covered and smothered. Evil humans eventually die, but Wintercreeper is never going to stop. Most people, and park managers, don't give a crap.

Never heard the "Gallberry" common name. Only "Inkberry" . Had sumac "tea" . Tastes like lemonade + something else ......acerola?

Personally, I find the field guide style of presentation to be very enjoyable and the most effective for retaining the information 🤙🏻

Thanks you

There’s a young burr oak next door in Ohio that produces acorns. Seedlings come up in the yard and I have left them alone. Except moving one to the front yard with a big soil ball. It’s doing great. And had a second flush of growth in July. It’s now about 8” tall. Looking forward to good growth next year.

Ever have an ugly yellow-brown water stain on your ceiling that just kept coming through your fresh paint? That's because a water leak leached its way down through the wood in your ceiling/attic and carried the tannins from the wood into your very visible white ceiling. Water based paint won't stop the tannins from leaching through again, because, after all, water is the tree's transport system! Use any coating other than a water based one and your problem is solved. Just thought I'd share that odd bit of random tannin knowledge here. ;-)

I bought a Bur oak, at Bernhiem forest, for $ 1.00. I planted it at the no mow area at Fern Creek high school. I don't know how well it will do in the future because of all the invasives growing there.

Do people also refer to this as inkberry? I think ilex glabra is what I’m thinking of.

I have got that butterfly

Awesome!

Is there any cultivars of these species that are tasty to eat?

Thanks for another great video!

Great video, thank you. I'm highly interested in a video about how to restore the oak presence in our local landscapes. Maybe address the questions of where, when and how to plant, and where to get the best stock of trees or acorns etc.

I've planted three of these as bare roots. I've noticed this is a fast growing and hardy tree. Thanks for your video and dedication to the subject.

I used to go on birding trips every spring to western VA/eastern WV with a fairly tight-knit group, one of whom was a retired forester and lifelong plant nerd. While looking for grassland bird species around Blue Grass, VA, at his request we'd always make a special stop along the river to "visit" a huge lone Bur Oak that was growing there. I came to love that tree too.

It seems the penultimate etymology of tannins is a Norman term meaning “oak bark”. Very fitting.

Bur oak hybridizes with white oak and makes very Intermediate looking trees. They call them bebb oaks. Bur oak has hairs at the end of the buds and the bark has long furrows and ridges going up the trunk, they generally have a more upright forum compared to white oak and they often appear more dark grey in color. The leaves are kind of thick and have more texture then white oak. Either way I find lots of bebb oaks where I am and they are confusing. White oak looking leaves with Bur oak bark and no hairs in the buds but the acorns have finge caps but not excessively and the acorns are smaller. My favorite tree is Bur oak they are just tanks and grow everywhere and get huge. I know of a 8 foot diameter one in Ontario.

As we all know, the size of burr oak acorns usually has an inverse relationship with latitude. Therefore, many of my burr oaks have acorns that are smaller than those of a red oak. I have long wished for a burr oak from a southern provenance. My kingdom for large nuts!

I love Bur Oaks. Seeing one of them out in the middle of a field just makes me happy. Now I need to find one and gather some acorns. I do have a related funny story from 1975. There was an old one out in the middle of a field that had died for some reason. It was on a road we traveled frequently to visit family in the next county. I had recently got my driver's license and took my sisters and two cousins to a movie called "Race With the Devil" (really underrated film that might have kicked off the vacation horror genre) which featured a tree very much like it and involved two couples traveling in a camper who witness a murder during ritual sacrifice and are then chased by members in a red pickup. On the way home around dusk we passed that tree and all of us looked at each other and laughed a bit uncomfortably. One of my cousins said something about watching for a red pickup and we lost it. The strange thing is that tree had already been there, bare, for a couple years before that and none of us had paid any attention to it. Now I live in that next county and drive past that spot at least once a week when I go visit one of those sisters, and I think about that fun little piece of my youth every time. The human brain is just weirdly wonderful or maybe it's vice versa.

Bur Oak is on my list to add to the yard in spring. This channel has cost me a lot of money 😂

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a post oak before. Got something new to look out for now

Tannins come from the tannic acid that is produced by oaks, and many other nut bearing trees. The more tannic acid, the more bitter the nut.

I live in the wet Forest of the Olympic Peninsula in the state of Washington. What would be the best Oak to grow up here for good food crop

Thank you for constantly pointing out how man for vanities sake brings in non native plants that have detrimental effects on our native plants.

what are to host plants for the eastern tiger swallowtail that grow in Florida ?

I really like the look of this, and I was wondering how it would pair with some small spring ephemerals like virginia bluebells or spring beauty

I swear if pokeweed had been given some bs fancy european name like "queen juliata's marbles" people would be putting it in their gardens and itd be invasive in other continents. This really is an issue

Anise hyssop: heavenly!
