God made evergreen needles to remain all winter for a reason. 😊🌲
Yep! So you dont have to rake every year! Is that it? lol
Excellent observation!!! In the deep of winter, here's your source of vit C against scurvy, and so many other benefits we may not even know (yet) about!
Gratitude to all things wonderfully made by the creator of natural world, the universe.
Yes we need to jus all go head n admit God us the man around here lol..he put healing all over..mullen leaf u have got to try its antiviral

Pine: long needles, grows in clusters, white has 5 needles/cluster
Spruce: Sharpest most rigid, 4 sides, rolls
Fir: Rounded end, 2 sides, doesn't roll, 2 white stripes
Cedar: Flat "needles", many scale like sections
Hi I have a pine tree but just have 2 niddles clusters is that ok to make a tea?
Thank You for this list Michele!,❤❤
Who's here from "Possible Antidote for the V-Serum and the Current Spike Protein Contagion"?
Yup
Yes
yep!
Here! Lol
🙂
The best description of Cedar, Fir, Pine, and Spruce. Thank you.
Pine needle tea to survive the shedding that occurring with the jabbed
Bingo
guys are Pinus radiata & Pinus halepensis both good to make pine needle tea with?
Also I like to chew on them
That and get ivermectin
And the Suramin in Pine Needle Tea. Do a little Research on that.
Dr. Judy Mikovitz has debunked this.
Best video ever for identifying differences between Spruce, Cedar, and Pine
Excellent video! As it happens I collected White Pine without knowing the name. Enjoyed it immensely. Better than any herbal tea. I liked it best when fresh. After keeping it in the fridge, the taste lessened. I live in the Ancient MalvernHills, England. The trees are not abundant, but they are around. Blessings to all. 💕
Please share what you just have learned far and wide. So many people literally scared to death... Blessings to you too!
I always make pine tea when im on walks, but I use it along with a mint tea bag and go light on the pine needle. I love it!
Pine needles can save your life, the amount of vitamin c is so great, it is practically a medical treatment, particularly in treatment of scurvy
@YourNatureBoy27 I have arborvitae bushes. It seems the deer like them!
I agree with you @Cat Feline.
I read that all Modern medicines were originally derived from nature. Now though they are made artificially. And Pharma Companies are making Billions of dollars.
@@jeannie920 while that has very basic basis in fact it’s simply untrue. The creation of modern medicines is a lot more complex
@@jeannie920 Ex: Aspirin--the idea to use white willow bark for pain & fever reduction came from a Wise Woman/herbalist; Digitalis (foxglove) for the heart also came from a Wise Woman/herbalist; opium & cocaine are plant sourced, as is marijuana. In Eastern Europe, a weak opium tea was given to children when they had sore throats/lungs & couldn't sleep; in Germany they used to put a little beer in baby bottles to make the babies sleep (hops); the mountain folk in the southern US states would give their children a Hot Toddy(boiling water, whiskey, honey, lemon juice/slice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, maybe some real apple cider &/or herbal tea). I knew someone from Thailand who told me that whenever I'm feeling a cold or flu coming on, chase it away by eating a bowl of spicy Tom Kha & make lemon tea with local honey & a slice of fresh ginger in it. It always works.
Totally awesome; thank you for your information!! TRULY a Heavenly Gift during these unprecedented times!! Be blessed and be safe! :)
Heavenly indeed! I'm on cloud nine right now as my family name means pine tree in Portuguese! Ha!
@@ExpectMiracles55 Now that is TRULY a HEAENLY appointment!!! :)
As a kid, I made some red pine tea for my scout camp and literally everyone enjoyed it. No sugar or anything. It started clear green while I boiled it then turned a deep golden color. I'm glad in retrospect that I didn't poison anyone (I'd been chewing on the needles for years, but you never know)
Spruce is kinda bitter and cedar is pretty flavourless but pine is rad.
Been seeing this tea as an aide in C19 symptoms
That would be the Pine.
@@WatchwomanOnTheWall-zk9po thank you. I have some trees that google lens say cedar but it says not true cedar...im guessing better to wild forage?
@@Mfaeeiml Look up White Pine Images
@@Mfaeeiml I only pick wild. No garden tress or so.
Real trees 💪🏽
@T any place to buy this tea
Good video man! Never thought about the rolling in the finger test. Pretty cool. I also have heard that fir needles are typically arranged in a more flat manner while spruce needles kind of form a circle around the branch. If that makes sense. Another ID tip is a spruce cone is pendent style in the middle of the branch, while a fir cone actually stands straight up from the branch. And then a hemlock cone is terminal, in that it hangs from the very tip of the branch.
White pine is good with dried mint, boil fully, then strain. I drink it without sugar, my personal preference
If we boil it fully what about vitamin c? Doesn't it gets wasted
@@MakeenAhmad yeah...boiling greatly affects the vit , mineral values.
Steeping in boiled water, is good way.
Sun tea is awesome....room temp water, pine inside, sit on window ledge for 1 hour...and voila
@@kan-zee thanks a lot 😊
@@MakeenAhmad the vitamin c enters the water. You arent eating the needles which are absent of vitamin c after boiled
It is best not to boil the needles rather pour hot water over the needles and let it soak , then drink.
Muchísimas Gracias por el video, con estás agujas de pino blanco las personas con reacciones adversas a la inyección experimental del v-i-r-u-s actual se están restableciendo, Dios puso este árbol maravilloso y a personas benditas como tú para sanar !!!🙏 Gracias, bendiciones 🙏 (No hablo inglés pero te entendí todo!)❣️
Thank you for this video! So informative, interesting and clear to understand and identify different needles.
I just made my first cup of White Pine Needle tea. I had needles sent to me from a friend in Canada. I find it's very delicious, I even added a lemon to it. I will have to try the other ones as well. Thanks for ur video.
Damn, that was good. You might be in the wrong business. Your film work shines.
Thanks Mitch! I'll take that as a compliment.
Sorry if that sounded off, it was meant as a compliment, nothing else.
Mitch Bangle Not at all. I thought it was a great comment my friend.
One video I watched said to use hot water that won't burn your finger for the pine tea - not boiling or close to boiling. Maybe it wouldn't be bitter if done that way. I'm going to try this.
@@lj8945 Yes, I just learned that if the water is too hot it releases too much turpentine, hence the bitter taste
I can imagine cedar tea being the best. My father always puts wood in front of the fire to make it dry that last extra bit you can't get from just leaving it outside. Usually you don't notice much but if it's cedar the entire room smells wonderful.
Don't forget to wash the product to remove impurities like dust, mould, pollen.
Good tip!
I always wash with vinegar water and then rinse.
Boiling also helps remove unwanted bacteria 🦠
How?
@@IndigoLight444 lukewarm water
What a wealth of information! And presented in such a straightforward and unpretentious way. I really value these vides, thank you!
I woke up this morning to my 6 year old watching your videos. Now we are both hooked. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
You've given me a project for my next weekend with the grandkids! Thanks!
Fantastic tutorial that you shot very well! TY for sharing the knowledge!
I like to use the soft, pale green new needles that you find in the spring; they're milder and sweeter. I have a small old aluminum percolator that works beautifully. I just fill the basket with the chopped needles and let it perc just like coffee. Makes a nice hot drink on a cold rainy evening.
You should not use aluminum
Thank you for sharing. Your voice sounded clear and very educational. This is so good to know because I lived in the back wood of Louisiana, and boy do we have bunch of evergreens lol.
Very cool! I'll have to try the cedar tea. I grow mint year around here in Florida. Mint tea is great. My grandma used to make it all the time. She was Mennonite and they know how to make everything from nothing. Enjoy your UA-cam videos immensely. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate your flavor profiles. Your identification of each species of tree will make it very much easier for me to perhaps gather some! I was most surprised about the bark on the cedar. Thanks!
Excellently thought out and presented content! Not only will I never ever wonnder how to distinguish between these evergreen species (which used to be something I would normally be irritated with myself not knowing) but the taste and flavour comparison is also of value to me. Thank you!
I once stepped on a Spruce needle and it embedded itself in the heel of my foot entirely. It was so deep I didn't even know it was there, I just knew there was something in my foot. I thought it was a splinter (I guess technically it kinda was). I made a small cut in the thick heel skin with a scalpel and found a tiny black dot, gripped the end with a pair of tweezers and pulled out an entire spruce needle. I was flabbergasted.
wow, crazy!!
Great video. I have had needle tea before but not a side by side. Nice way to compare.
Yeah I was thinking it was high time for a comparison to be made. Thanks for commenting!
This video was so helpful and structured so well! Really introduced me to a lot of stuff as I went into it without any knowledge
Excellent information! I'll have to try all of these. Thanks so much for this video!
Great lesson! I only made spruce tea so far- love it. Excited, cause there’s a cedar tree right next to it!
Here in the Pacific NW we as Native Tribe use the cedar tea as a medicine, as with a few hard wood trees, and stinger nettle tea too. I am glad to see you using this, it’s very good for you.
A great informative and professionally executed video! I've yet to try evergreen teas, but I used to chew the sap of a species of pinyon pine when I lived in New Mexico -- flavorful, tho sticky, lol. Re: the numbers of needles per clump ("fascicle" in technical terms) on pine trees: Different species can have the same amount, e.g., whitebark pine (diferent from white pine) also sports five needles per clump, and the digger pine growing on my property in California has the same number of needles per clump (two) as does that pinyon pine I used to chew on in New Mexico.
Thanks Jeanette! Great info. Thanks for sharing.
:^]
I have a pine growing in my yard, made the tea but did not steep as long, subtle flavor, I did not use as many needles. The next cup I added lemon and a little honey. I will use this often as it opened sinuses and helped with breathing better. Thanks for the valuable information!
Thank you for sharing this! It was interesting eventhough I'll stick to store-bought tea. (I also liked that there was no annoying background music and that you narrated this as if it were a (mini) documentary. Mrs. Outsider must loooooove the rich tone of your voice. 😉)
An excellent and informative video, just brilliant!
Incredibly interesting and educational. Thank you!!
This is just so fantastic. You rock at this! Thank you!
Concise and get to the points. Excellent
This video is great! Incredibly instructive and helpful. I have just begun experimenting with conifer teas. This video has been a huge help. I never even knew this superfood was growing all around me in Patterson NY.
This is great advice, identification through the bark is especially helpful. I just happened across two spruce trees, one green, one blue so I took a bit of both and am going to brew some tea. I would advise washing with a mild organic detergent to clean any potential pollution residue on it or insects, webs, etc.
Thank you for making this video, I enjoyed how you explained each tea with such detail. Great job!
Another trick: White Pine, 5 needles. The word white has 5 letters. Red Pine: 2 Needles. Just an FYI. Nice video!
Awesome video. Thanks for this clear and concise video. My students love it.
Brilliant presentation! Thank you!!
This was perfect. I do not care about the taste (I will probably add a drop of stevia), I came for the benefits. I have a dozen pine needle trees where I live. Each one of them in eyesight has branches over 12' high so I can't reach them. Grr! But thanks to this video, I can properly identify the pine trees. Strangely, in Florida we have these trees. Thank you so much for this terrific video.
Thanks for sharing. I'm amazed.
Haven't gone collecting yet but looking forward to the spring, your videos are fantastic times full of information quick and interesting thank you for your hard work and I just sent some links for other people to start watching you thank you
I love your wild edibles series 💖 I make a cup of coffee, I put them on, and get comfy haha your videos are so calming
Thanks for this and others of your wild food videos. All four evergreens are good
for health. I like all things pine; I favor the white pine tea and drink it daily and my
doctor says my immunity level and overall health (at 81) is excellent.
Excellent! !! Very professional made video. Very good education on tree type ID. Very good tea making training. I like the ceader tea the best also.
Thanks Jerry!
I live in Oklahoma and I think I only have red cedar....is red Okay?
Isn’t white cedar a cypress tree labeled as cedar
Because real cedar leaves are spiky
@@TheOutsiderCabin can u tell plz can it be cure against co vax?
Awh heck yes. So many white cedar trees around me. Can't wait to try this
Thanks for the info I fish and go to woods a lot and I would chew some pine needles while fishing and here in southern Ontario there is lots of wild mint and chew it while fishing streams and creeks
Excellent identification video! Thank you.
I love this new intro! And your videos! Keep it up!
Also, I'm italian and it's summer now, some of your wild edibles grow here but I need to wait at least autumn to taste some of them. It's quite sad :D
I love your this chanel too! Most of these survival chanels are for desert or jungle enviroments. But here in Hungary we can use all of these tips & tricks you gave us! Thank you for your awesome content!
Diana Moon, I believe he said you can use them year round because they are Evergreens.
In this particular video you're right, but I mean in general. If it's summer were I live in america is quite different, righ?
I don't think so. I have access to some of these and I am going to try it once I find out if they are "White" Pine and Cedar. I'm in Long Island New York so it is summer here too. I'm thinking it might taste better in the Summer because that is when they are doing the growing so more flavor?
I loved your video! I never thought about drinking tree tea and I go in the forest often! I'm going to try it out. Thanks so much!
Excellent video! I'll be keeping my eye out for white cedar on my next hike.
In my plant biology course, my teacher told us the phrase, "furs are friendly". That stuck and I can easily tell a spruce by grabbing it and getting poked. I appreciate the other information about identification from bark and needle characteristics.
Great video! Thank u for sharing your findings.
such a dedicated educational video. thanks for your great work. This video deserves more likes
Great video, thank you so much 🌲👍
This was incredible. Thank you for creating such a clear and informative guide!
Awesome! I have learnt so much from you since I started watching your videos! Now I'm going to make some spruce syrup!
Thanks for doing this comparison test for us. Great video
Thank you for this most helpful video! My pine tree is the wrong species and tho i have lots of cedars, they are the red cedars... but many Balsam Fir in my yard. Just made my first cup of tea using a few needles and it is truly delish! Thanks again ... I will share this video with many
Just about to go out and get some in the woods and found your video!! Thanks so much I will let you know when I make some 🙏❤️✨
Fantastic video!
I have the white pine in my yard. Also love a tea with a bite. I might like the flavor. Thanks!
Thank you for the video, well done!
Muy buen video, muchas gracias por las recomendaciones.
Cuando vaya a la montaña, voy a poner en práctica los conocimientos adquiridos.
Saludos desde Argentina.
Mi mujercita come papalos tambien bebe tecitos desde el arbol nispero 😜🧟🤷
Love love LOVE this video! Thank you! Gave me all the information I was looking for. Wonderful information!
I've only had the pine and I wasn't a fan. I'll try the Cedar next. Thanks.
Thank you. This was super helpful. I was able to identify that I have a white spruce. Looking forward to trying some tea.
love these videos. so relaxing
Yeah. Great voice!
This was helpful and to the point. Thank you!
Great tea video.. I need to look for white cedar on my land 👍
🤗..Thanks for posting!💚💞💞
Very nice explanation and demo of each.
Short, neat and complete!
The new intro is great and I love the wild edible series I make the dandelion coffee almost everyday now thank you so much
Awesome! Glad to hear it.
Very well done, sir! I have to say that the White Pine in Michigan makes a mellow tea, but now I'll have to try the local Cedars as well :) Thanks for the tips ... God Bless you and yours
So appreciate your knowledge sharing. Wonderful💃🏻💃🏻💫💫🌈🌈🌈🌈🧞♀️❤️
Awesome information now i know the difference and i have white cedar in my back yard as well.
What a great job ☺😇
I know what I am going to do with my Grandson next weekend... thank you so very much.
I say it`s nice to have a cedar tree right next to my garage! great info, I will skip the white pine.
Thank you for your wonderful information I have made ponderosa pine tea and did not know I can make cedar tea and I have a cedar tree in my backyard so I’m gonna be doing that tomorrow! Thank you very much For the professional video! Well done
Perfect brightness on that intro mate
Great video...THANK YOU
You should make more vids like this!!! Learning so much
Thanks so much for the information really helpful. I hope we get to see more stuff like this it is a real healthy thing to know.
Thanks Richard! More episodes are on the way!
Great video! Very helpful to I.D. Thank you!
What a great contents! Thanks a lot!
This was an excellent video, by the way! Loved the side by side comparisons! I'm thinking you must have been a teacher. if not, you missed your calling! Thanks so much for all the great info. I took screenshots of the identifiers to keep with me when foraging until I learn. Hoping to locate some cedar trees here in Florida!
Great presentation.
thanks for teach us this information very helpful ,.
I like the taste of the pine. Cedar is nice, and I have to find a spruce tree and fir tree still
Thank you for sharing I will go out collecting now I know what to look for.
