    Hi Akiva. I'm curious about this plant. Along with all of the benefits that you mentioned,would this be beneficial in repelling pests like Raccoons? Thanks.

    Wonderful video, compact and too the point, very inforrmative! 1. The rootstock that you originally plant horizontally, is this nothing more than a small tree with a root ball or bare roots? 2. What zone are you in? 3. If you were to grow root stock from seed would that plant be true to seed or different? Thanks so much!

    Your channel is phenomenal! When you planted your original rootstock that you are now harvesting from, did you leave the crown exposed or did you bury the entire plant? Keep up the great work.

    Yeah I’ve heard people say that and it’s just ridiculous honestly. That’s like saying an oak has no ecological value. Doesn’t make sense. I’m also wondering if you can boil the nuts then dry them out and make like a nut butter or something like that

    Been doing the bucket method for three years, I was cheap so I just drilled out quarter inch holes in the bottom, and I probably lost 10 percent to water holding towards the bottom, so I just stopped mixing nuts into that bottom section at all. Lazy problems lazy solutions lol, Thanks Akiva!

    I also noticed that a lot of books say it has no wildlife value, but I found a few massive bitternuts on our woodlot and the ground looks completely scraped underneath from animals foraging. Also noticed some chewed and broken-open bitternuts atop a log. Probably not as appetizing as acorns from a white oak, but I'm guessing they're similar in wildlife value to red oak acorns

    No that is a perfect name you are not from the south. It grows ugly warts most people would think it is sick. But, it is also an extremely fast wild tree that gets so branchy. The one your showing is a heavily pruned one

    Thank you for doing this video !! You are 100% correct on everything you said !! The Autumn Olive WAS put here for a reason, just like all the other helpful, natural herbs God put on this earth to let us heal ourselves, and to heal this planet ! It truly is misunderstood and under appreciated! Just like with dandelions, people spend millions per year on chemicals to destroy them. People are so close minded and don’t even try to research and read about the wonderful and helpful benefits they offer to the earth, to people and sometimes animals !! Thank you for explaining some GOOD AND POSITIVE things about the Autumn Olive Berry !

    We have mostly Prunus padus here in central Europe, it's bird cherry, do you have that too? It's great for birds, kind of protecting our other fruits for human consumption. I didn't taste it yet, but it has much smaller and completely black fruit, maybe not even edible for humans. Otherwise the leaves, the bark, the bigger, more lighte coloured buds are the same as you described. I would love to have P. virginiana for like a multi purpose tree.
