@@champagnewalkersequinemass3568 it all begins with soil chemistry. If we don't understand the chemistry then we can't really make sense of the rest of it. Thanks for watching!
This has a lot of useful information and well-presented. I have a Monterrey Oak AKA Mexican White Oak. Is that similar to any of the oaks you presented here? Mine is only 12 years old.
Hey, this video was brilliant!!! I'm a planting specialist working for the municipality of Amsterdam. We are busy looking for trees that are capable of dealing with our changing climate (higher temperatures, longer periods of drought, heavier rains etc.). This also include a lot of American species and this video really helped me to get a better understanding of your native oaks from wich a lot of we can use in our city. Great work! Keep it up :-)
So glad you made this video. Love your channel. I love oaks and don’t know much about them. I planted 3 swamp white oak last year on my property and 2 Oregon white oak (quercus garryana).
Thanks for the kind words Dustin. It was A LOT of work filming and putting it together. By far my longest video so I hope it's successful. I'm not familiar with Oregon oak. Thanks for giving me something to look up and learn about today.
@@Dr.Warren when I bought those swamp white oak I spent a few weeks on UA-cam looking for a video like this and I watched a lot of oak videos but none came close to this as far as information, clarity of audio, both close shots and further away (so you can see the structure of the tree 🌲) most of them stood by the trunk and held the leaf but never backed up or panned up so give the viewer a look 👀. Second thing that makes yours stand out is the length. Most were just covering one oak tree and about 2 mins long. I like the longer more in depth form because I live way out in Washington state and I don’t get to spend time in those regions your oaks grow etc AND when your trying to find out what oak trees you just bought in the discount section (swamp white oak) you need one ☝🏼 video to watch and learn a ton 😆. and lastly I love your thumbnail. It’s really fresh looking with a timeless sort of look. Good 👍🏼 work bro. Also I love these swamp white oak. I have a lowland lot and it’s pretty wet in the fall winter and spring but also when the wind blows through the leaves the under side contrast looks so awesome. The Oregon white oak are super cool. I left the scientific name in the first comment. The grow from BC down into southern Oregon. Super dark leathery green leaves.
great vid! glad you got my state in there! SD here, and i love oak trees, i collect trees, and am currently trying to sprout some burr oak acorns. more vids to come soon i hope!
Does every Oak produce acorns, even those that are more like shrubs with stoloniferous root systems? What is it that classifies a tree as an Oak since many that you discuss here have totally different leaf shape, texture and even color, if not producing acorns? Do all Oaks tend to hold their leaves late into winter, and as some of our White and Red Oaks, into Spring? We had the worst infestation of Spongy Moths I have ever seen this Spring ( Hudson Valley, NY) and every single Oak in our heavily forested surrounding of our home, was denuded. It looks worse than mid winter, since the caterpillars than went to my Larch, then all the Blue Spruce and White Pines,then the Maples, including my collection of Japanese Cutleaf Maples. They covered our house foundation and made gardening a horror since they dropped all over me as well. I hope that the trees can come back to their previous glory next Spring. We had the heaviest “mast” year just one year ago. Will there still be acorns at all this Fall or does an Oak with no leaves not have the resources to produce acorns? This video was so important to me since I have been attempting to learn to identify our trees for so long, and find it so confusing. Our area has many types of trees and unfortunately, asking those who work for tree care companies gets me different answers for the same tree🤦♀️
The home where I was raised in South Carolina had huge red oaks that surrounded the house providing wonderful shade and beauty. But Oh my all those leaves that had to be cleaned up. great information thank you
Red oak are bad about the leaves. Water oak is the worst. Tiny leaf and they come down over a period of 8-10 weeks. Constant clean up. Thanks for the kind words about the video.
I believe in my area folks have misidentified an oak tree. Everyone calls them pin oaks, but this is the second video I've seen that assures me it's not a pin oak. Leaves are brown in fall. Fairly smooth bark with white spots. I'm determined to find out what type of oak it is now.
Thank you for this well done tutorial video. I feel it is worth mentioning that the Blackjack oak would be the exception to the rule that all Red oaks have pointed lobes. Am I missing something here or is this correct? Thanks again for the time you have spent on the making of this video.
Out of all the oaks you presented, I still can't identify mine. Can you help me? Can i send you a picture of the leaves with a description of the tree characteristics?
In Sweden Quercus robur is the most common, we also have Quercus petraea and some planted Quercus rubra. Quercus Pumila looks a bit like a Rhododendron. Quercus Myrtifolia looks like a small olive tree or maybe a Prunus spinosa.
wonderful. i thought my tree was an old and rotten apricot tree but its actually a fairly healthy old Blackjack Oak Tree. now that i know its an oak, i wont cut it down. Its on a very steep incline and has no trouble at all standing thick and straight up. Its deep tap root must be why they planted it there
According to the encyclopedia it belongs in the red oak group. But it is an odd ball in the fact that it shares visual characteristics of the red oak but the acorn can mature in one year like a white oak. www.britannica.com/plant/live-oak
VERY VERY well done!!!!! I can now id the difference between white and red oak easily...wow... My question is what is the largest species of oak(in general), not champions, but what oak tree can grow the TALLEST average. Could you tell me a few that are on average going to be the largest in the neighborhood? I want to plant some seeds and make a statement!!
Thanks for watching and the kind words. Look into northern red oak for your area. But realize that none of us will be around to see it 100ft tall. You are planting for future generations.
@@Dr.Warren Would that also include a shummard? I understand I am making this for future generations. I probably have to watch your video again. Red oak is different than shummard? Shummard IS a red oak. Why did they make two types of categories and name one of the species a red oak(in the red oak family) and another a white oak(in the white oak family) I find that so silly. I am serious..You are GOOD. I am subscribed and you gathered I am a Texan. ThankS!!!!!
Interesting Live Oak you picked - by a road/driveway/big house is not the best as the pruning shows!? Glad you included the pic of the big one able to spread like it should - altho it looked like they were mowing grass all around it. Sure some pruning could help prevent wind breakage but it would be difficult for me to want to cut off the special branching like that. Im in north Kentucky, appears out of range, can't say I've seen one, but I miss a lot!
Being on the west coast of Canada, Oaks are rare. The most beautiful and unusual are the Gary Oak, found in a rather small area of Vancouver Island - they are witchcraft to the eye! Thank you for this tour.👍
Thanks for leaving a comment. I was talking with my wife just last week about taking a vacation to the Pacific Northwest. Looks like a beautiful place. I've done Oregon. Mt hood etc. I want to venture into Seattle and Southwest Canada.
@@Dr.Warren You will be well-rewarded for a visit to this nearly-primal part of BC, where tracts of rain-forests rule, and those introduced species flourishing in the likes of Vancouver or Victoria (where the Gary Oak, incidentally, parks), haven't a chance in the glorious savagery of the west coast. This is where the ancient magic lies, awaiting the attentive eye. On the west coast of Vancouver Island, between the fishing villages of Ucluelet and Tofino, there is a splendid artfully unintrusive boardwalk pathway through the Rainforest Trail which is impossible to describe. This is the soul of a ravaged and enduring landscape, and its sounds are melodies from epochs ago. Our new reality suggests that if there is a window of weather without smoke (rare right at the coast, depending on winds) carpe diem. I've seen it in winter and in summer, and both are treasures. The whole drive includes Long Beach, and it is nearly inexhaustible - an infinite beach, grey sands, cold water as hell! Fishing villages always have good food. One has left the urban stuff behind; this stuff is earthy and tangible. Many years have passed since I last visited; in the day, I stayed with friends so I had many opportunities. I'm sure it is a hefty bill now, but what isn't, really? Don't miss Wikkinninnish Lodge. Right on the crashing waves - brilliant! ❣
Excuse me, a quick-lazy search @ wikipedia says Q.virginiana is not in the lobatae(red oak) group, althought it is in the virentes group(evergreens), i couldn't find anything either about 18 or so months for it's acorns to mature as other red oaks do.

@@pep3pist0ls63 it's a lot to digest. Way more than I can go over in a video despite this one being 45 minutes long. Toss in the fact they often hybridize and the line can become blurry as to what is technically a species. If it's something that interests you keep reading up on it. We need to preserve as many of these old growth oaks as possible. Especially in high density population areas like the northeast.
@@Dr.Warren Sure indeed it's a long road for cover and im not asking for a video in the time vicinity.

Excellent job 👍 and close ups of the leaves and bark. We bought an old used hard farm and I collected acorns from red, black, white,burr and swamp oaks. Had lots of squirrels mad when I was collecting them. I now have a nice young oak forest with hickory and black walnuts. I will never see them harvest but my grandkids will. I remember as a cub scout we were told white man shot round bullets... white oak and indians shot arrowheads...red oak. Thanks for sharing. Ken
Nice vid! Planted a willow oak here in northwest IL back in 2020, but unfortunately it couldn't handle the winters here (zone 5A) and died before the following spring. Did plant a northern red oak the same year, and it is flourishing nicely. Hoping it will be around for a few hundred years.
Thanks for watching and leaving a good comment. I spent A LOT of time making this one. Comments like this helps the UA-cam algorithm pickup and recommend it. Thanks again!
vrery comprehensive video. Thank you! trying to get educated on oaks and enhance white variety on my property. btw, my Dad attended Snead 84 years ago.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very informative. I have some small oaks coming up in a newly thinned pine plantation and I want to allow them to grow, even though I will be long dead before they are of any considerable size. Hopefully the next generation will benefit from them.
Thank you Dr. Warren! I am in Tallahassee, Florida and just starting to learn to identify the oak tree species in this area to do a better job selecting trees to monitor phenophases in the USA National Phenology Network, Nature's Notebook. Your video is so very comprehensive and undoubtably covers nearly all the species I would find in this part of north Florida. My sincere thanks! Dave Skinner
Apalachacola National Forest to your west would have almost all of these oaks. It would also some long leaf pine ecosystems that would have some unique understory plants. I've passed through there a few times on my way to St George and it is a vast ecosystem. I need to read up more on what you are doing. It sounds interesting. I'm glad I could help you out.
@@Dr.Warren That's great! Over the next several months I will be making backpacking trips along several segments of the Florida Trail which passes through the Apalachicola.

That is one of the species included in the Quercus Quest campaign on Nature's Notebook. It occurs in the same parts of north Florida and I want to make sure I am observing the correct species.

Do you have a recommendation for an oak to plant on a steep NW facing slope? Central Virginia
Maybe a pin oak. Depends on the soil type.
California has alot of different types and just to confuse us they interbreed
Yes, oaks often do hybridize.
