I used to make sumac "tea"! Specifically staghorn sumac. You wait until the fruits are ripe and sticky, and bruise them in some water, less water = stronger flavor. Then you run the water through a cloth to get the bugs, grit, and frass out of it. I'd recommend heating it up to sanitize it after that, but I confess to having drank it straight on a few survival campouts.
The flavor comes from glands on the outside of the berries. If you're brave you can just lick the berries and get a very sour taste out of them. With a bit of sugar it tastes and looks a bit like pink lemonade.
great video. You can make tea from sumac. It's called a sumac sour and it it quite refreshing. like lemonade.
Wow Pete! I admire your knowledge so much! I still can't identify most trees I see around my area. Good one!
Thanks for sharing and presenting your knowledge so clearly. I love all of these tree ID videos. Especially interesting is the more ecological information like how animals and other species interact with the trees. Consider making more videos, there are so many plant species to ID!
You can smoke meat with the Cherry, not heat with it. Also, the Sumac is very tasty. Kind of tastes anywhere from a lemon tea to a raspberry tea. Can also make jams/jellies with them too.
In Kentucky, the musclewood is what we call ironwood (also hornbeam). Very hard, pale, fine-grained wood that is great for making plane bodies as it is naturally waxy. Beautiful stuff.
Also, I've seen sumacs in Kentucky that managed to get as big as river birches, with a respectable thickness of wood in broad, colorful yellow and white rings around the central pithy core.
This is a very good guide to identification and is well presented.
I've made sumac tea alot with stevia added. Tastes like lemonade. Delicious 😋
I would love to walk in the woods around my house with you, I love knowing every tree in my area , but unfortunately I don't. LOL. I thought i had a bunch of sumacs growing around my creek and it turns out they are Black Walnut . I did not realize how similar the leaves look . Thanks for your great tree knowledge.
When I was a boy we used to walk through our woodlot with my grand-mother and she would point out all the plants she gathered as a girl to supplement their food pantry. Skunk cabbage was one of them which I thought tasted awful. But there were also a lot of trees, and as a boy scout I was able to identify all of them that you showed here. It's interesting to me how so many "city slickers" now are doing survival videos on UA-cam which show stuff I learned as a youngster in the scouts. But as farmers we were constantly cutting back Sumac and Hazel Bush from the hedgerows and the apple orchard. Hornbeam, and Ash were important to farmers, and of course Black Locust made long lasting fence posts. Funny thing, I was never allergic to Poison Ivy!
thanks so much. this was great.
Learning nature is fun! Good video, thank-you.
Thanks! I've got other forestry videos if you'd care to peruse them.
@@petercollin5670 I've been creeping... :)
I was trying to learn about a tree in my yard. Thought it was an Ash tree but, turns out it's the Tree of heaven aka Ailanthus Altissima which apparently is an invasive species from china... Go figure huh...
I've made sumac tea, you have to use a lot of it. It's got a earthy, berry like, acidic taste.. Very tasty with some honey and a couple leaves of mint
Thank you Sir!
In Ontario, we call hornbeam blue beech.
I’ve heard old timers call them “water beech”.
@@petercollin5670 Interesting!
I wish we had this sort of understory diversity in south Louisiana.
Hey is that the old hojack line in your backyard? It runs through mine
Have you seen sweet cherry (Prunus Avium)
Not that weren't in somebody's yard.
I have watched numerous videos not finding any value applied to trees per se. I have 80 acres with mature woods. Lots of red oak, hard maple, tall aspens, and birch. Most of these trees are straight and tall without many low branches and have nice wide trunks. I was thinking about getting a cut to open up the canopy. Nobody says what trees are most valuable or how much per tree. I would be probably getting hundreds cut. I can't even put in a food plot anywhere on the property because there are so many trees. I heard one person say about $300 per red oak tree. Anybody know any figures ? I know there is a lot of factors just looking for a round about figure ??? Thanks for any help.
The question you are asking is like saying, "I have a car in my garage. What's it worth?" I would need to walk your woods to give you any kind of meaningful answer.
@@petercollin5670 I kinda figured I was going to get a answer like that. Can you at least give a run down of what trees are the most valuable or usable for the wood industry ? and what are more or less useless / minimal value ? Sorry to be a bother. Thx Rick
@@ricks7432 can you look up consulting foresters in your area? If you're in New York State you're welcome to phone me. I know exactly what kind of answer you're looking for, and I simply can't give it in a text. If you spend an afternoon walking through your land with a professional, you will learn much more.
Is that American dog wood used for pipe tobacco
I've never heard of that. The leaves aren't fragrant or anything.
@@petercollin5670 I've heard it's the inner bark just under the surface bark that was dried out as used as pipe tobacco by indiana
@@therecanbeonlyone_6357 I couldn't bring myself to damage one to give it a try (they're slightly rare in western NY, more common in PA)
6:00 anyone else thought those were Tree of heaven's ?
I've seen those all over in Pennsylvania. Never seen them in NY.
We have those in east Texas. Though they are way bigger than sumac, usually
