- August to February. Dr George McGavin. More content than the usual BBC commissioned 'emotional journey'. A little over-easy on the photogenic panning, but good documentary.
Part 2: ua-cam.com/users/vi...
As a symbol of Eternal love I had for my lovely little Libra sister, Sahar, whom died during 2019 pandemic at the age of 16, I am going to plant 7000 oak trees all over my country, Iran.
im sorry for your loss
I have a bunch of old oak trees in my yard one was aged at 357yrs old. It's 5ft wide and beautiful, every fall the leaves pile up and create a lot of work but, I keep telling myself it's been here longer than any of us have and deserves to be taken care of.
I have 3 tiny oak trees in my backyard and squirrels always feel welcomed to eat those acorns. LOL
I love trees this is amazing !
Fabulous presentation. Well done Dr. McGavin.
We previously owned 5-acres in SW Michigan in an oak savanna forest habitat. We had 27 White Oak Trees on our property in the 75 to 100 old age range. They survived an attack of thousands of tree caterpillars that totally de-leafed them and 20' deep flooding for four springs in a row. We lived there for 20 year's and our trees acted as neither attack had ever happened. Survivors for sure!
I like to gather a tub of acorns in the autumn and keep them in the fridge to plant a few when I go for walks. Something very satisfying about seeing them appear in spring and growing each year.
Thank you so very much for the time and love you put into this video! I've shared it with many friends who have children - it's important kids see this. So educational 🙂
I LOVE Tress!! May God bless us with more trees!
Stunning documentary. The complexities of this ancient tree...
and all trees in fact ^^
You may tie a yellow ribbon round it. If you like.
I have loved Oaks since childhood, my favoright tree. Today I have a 50 year old oak in my garden and it has sent it's roots under my polly tunnel to help itslf to my water and nutrients. It knew exactly where to go and what it was after. Now I have raised beds in the polly tunnel as the oak roots were building too fast to grow vegetatables of any value. Now we are both happy, veg above the weed matt, the roots below but still receiving the water and growing fast.
A truly fascinating documentary, I have a passion for all tress but especially the Oak and there's one huge Oak in a private woods I shoot in that I always make time to sit under and enjoy it's beautiful elegance and magnitude.
Well done! Learned so much history how and why the British planted so many oaks! Very well done & creative! One of my favorite trees 👌👏🏼❣️thank you
An uplifting documentary! This is fascinating and one hopes more people will develop respect for the environment and the wonderful array of trees enriching our habitat
I’ve been unsuccessful in finding this full documentary so I can buy it; it’s very elusive! It’s possibly my all-time favorite nature/history documentary. I’m very grateful to you for uploading this!
My pleasure
… And mine!
Search for "ClipConverter You Tube ripper" (ClipConverter is the name of the page, its all online) select MP4, copy and paste the URL and dowload it to your computer.
I like to do this to alot of vids I love just in case they get taken down from You Tube than I know personally that they are preserved.
And the other favourite is re-habilitating young cranes and escorting them on their migration...another true gem. Cant fir the life of me remember what the programme was called but based in US.
Fascinating video. So informative. Thank you!
Thank you for your fine research & generosity to share!
Love this story of the old Oak!
An absolutely fascinating film. I couldn't help, though, but feel sorry for that poor sapling, poor thing, lol! These trees are simply so beautiful - so interesting!
No job too dirty for a f-ing scientist !
Is there a way to expose it completely to the eye while meeting the trees needs to keep it alive and growing????
@@salenebrom6476 I would doubt this but who knows? It is a nice thought, I hate to see tree killed needlessly, makes me sad and annoyed!
Amazing program.
Absolutely wonderful. Appreciated!
Thank you!
This is WONDERFUL!
Mycelium and trees. The network we missed whilst too busy creating our own. Many questions there are, maybe we even forgot/lost/destroyed the knowledge. Mind blowing subject but one which requires serious scientific and historical investigation alongside current naturalists and biologists with new insight from scientists and governments/worldwide organisations. Working together.....No,No not just us(humans) but all us organisms/beings on the planet.
They can teach us a lot
Let’s plant more acorns!
I am based in Northern California and i am surrounded by Oak Trees and Manzanita Trees.I am fascinated by how the Woodpeckers stores their acorn nuts/their food supplies inside the barks of Oak Trees and I think i saw what seems to be Lion Manes Mushrooms clinging the the branches of California Oak Trees as well.....;)))))
If any of you wish to see what i saw,you're welcome to visit Henry Coe State Park in Northern California.
Great video
Great progam to watch
Amazing! 🥰😢
The blustering winds,the pouring rains,the cold frost and the battering hail storms will only make the Oak Trees takes deeper roots.The Oak Trees is no easy pushover i tell yah !!! 😁
What an amazing tree!
And such tells us why the Oak stands for wisdom!
Germinate! 🌳🌳🌳
I'm sure there was a previous BBC doc on the same topic that was excellent.
TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED
I have another poem called the yew tree be blessed everyone!
I love trees and specially this ones. I live in north Texas and trees are rare here so I am jealous of the people who live where there's trees.
fantastic info. the name did not describe the depth
i had to watch this for shcool.
What a great documentary! Thanks a lot for uploading it. Could somebody tell me the title of the hymn at 37:28?
Wouldnt digging around the tree undermine its strenght?
what is this beautiful choir music behind the Salisbury Cathedral's presentation ?
What kind of an oak tree is it? There are many different kinds in the US, white oak, red oak, chestnut oak, burr oak and etc.
Common, english, or european. Quercus robur officially
I have a poem called the rusty oak tree at a museum
It's good, I like it.
Thanks

Afer having 3 oak trees, 1 gigantic willow tree and a sapling my dad is tempted to cut them down but I give him the doll eyes and he leaves them to live.
Great
Don’t tell your local psychology department that the tree talks to itself, they’ll recommend a weird intervention for the poor tree when it’s just trying to grow in the way it’s maker designed it to! 🤨
The underground tree almost looks like the tree above the ground.
I have a swamp oak in my yard measures 174 inches its huge shades my whole yard
True fact: Oak trees have sounds📶📶📶📶📶📶📶
Do they ever say what species of white oak this is?
My guess would be an English Oak.
It's a Quercus robur
Many thanks.
@@tempestvideos9834 you're welcome.
If you want to farm this tree and some doubt comes to you, you can ask me.
I farm Encina/Quercus ilex rotundifolia (holm oak) and Alcornoque/Quercus suber (corch oak), for reforestation, and recently I have recived Quercus robur's acorns, if you have any doubt I can tell you my experience.

Is there a way to keep the tree alive and growing with the roots exposed
One person in the comments suggested it would be OK while it was 'dormant over winter', another said you'd at least need a large hydroponic tank. I expect it could survive a short time, but I have no idea how long or under what conditions.
cant do that as much as they dont think so they ruined that tree.
Is this a white oak?
The classical music accompanying the documentary is sublime - What you attribute to evolution - Genesis 1.11 and Romans 1.20 from the Old and New Testament attribute to the Creator of the Universe.
It's heart breaking to see you having to destroy the tree in order to discover how "beautiful" it is.
You can tap liquid in Oak trees & make syrup.😃
Yeah,
You’re welcome😉
Trees are badass. FACT.
Lucky he didn't fell off that tree or brake it's 400 years old branches.
No, I did not ride that bull, I'm back in Paris now. But don't worry guys, because
Adam will do the job just fine.
I went to the place where I got my first kiss.. with that ginger boy Charlie. In a orchard. We were both 6 years old it wasn't an ordinary kiss like kids do and runaway. It was more.. like a French kiss with the tongue and when you're done you can't even walk straight. I was like let's do like adults, kids stuff were boring for me. And we continued until we were 12/13 when I went there during vacations in summer. I remember the taste, everything like it was yesterday. At first, I thought it was disgusting and.. it is. But I got used to it. And the fact that it was forbidden and our parents didn't know what were doing made it even more exciting.
One time, I remember, I left his house to go back where I was and he ran behind me and we kissed in the midle of a desert road with the sunset, the insects flying aroubd like in movies 😂😂 b* I thought I was the main character in a forbidden/impossible love story
Adam has a ginger beard, Brown hair with Red reflection (depends on the light) and green eyes. Mmmh.
Plus he looks like that guy. I mean.. '' looks like '' 😂 20 years later.
I heard him talking (Charlie) but I didn't go see him, I was too busy observing the oak trees.
Guess I'm back to the roots...
Trees absorb CO2 from the air and give us oxygen.

Screw 93
Quit it! All of them. Leave the trees ALONE. Please?
if its england lets use english measurements
The oaks leaves equate to “700 metres squared” lol really? Clearly not the smartest guy. I’m guessing they equate to 700 square metres.
utter disgrace ruining a tree life like that just for research. man is a pirah to this planet. that took years for that oak sapling to get that big for scientists to kill it makes me ANGRY. killed a tree that could live hundreds of years
Does it also make you angry when a pig eats an acorn?
@@gander4872 thats not the dmn same as cutting down ancient oaks
@@celticwarrior777 they didn't cut down an ancient oak though
The episode's content (c. 11th minute) of the grey squirrel (an invasive species which arrived in 1870s from north America) was daft and misleading. That species - as Americans tend to - arrived when the main action had been done! For c.8,000 years oaks - and acorn dispersal - was happening without grey squirrel assistance! Footage of jays would have been better. I thought that I had learned plenty from this episode but, on reflection, what else was misleading?
George has mislead no one. Grey squirrels are most likely the primary cause of acorn dispersal in the present, which is where we, and George, are. He said 'squirrels', and showed a particular species of squirrel. There's no contradiction, just a line where detail and elaboration become secondary.
there are no Jays in uk, dickwad
@@billyunterbuchner9197 Garrulus glandarius - Eurasian Jay. quite common in the UK if a bit shy
i am so thankful for u uploading this!! this information needs to be spread everywhere. us forest spirits have to unite c:
