    Which was your favorite bark? Also, was there a bark you thought should have been included in this video? Thanks for watching! :)

      That was great, thank you! My big difficulty is telling ash from walnut. I feel like they both have diamond shapes and actually the walnut more than the ash.

    I enjoyed my time with you; identifying & explaining characteristics of trees, simply by their bark. Thank you for posting something, that didn't make me feel dumber for wacthing.

    Coming from the land of conifer trees, seeing all these deciduous was really special. Thank you;

      It's my pleasure! I'm glad you liked it, I'll have to do a video on conifer trees soon...

    It's not as common outside of residential/urban areas but I love seeing a nice American sycamore tree - one of my favorites!

      Hi! At about 8:53 in the video I covered American sycamore :) Definitely one of my favorites as well!

    Really great video! I'm trying to learn how to forage for mushrooms right now, and it's so helpful to learn how to ID trees.

    Sometimes cottonwood looks like sycamore...is the bark shape the big giveaway?

    • @moplantdaddy
      @moplantdaddy  Рік тому

      I would look towards the top, if it is pale and molted, you've got a sycamore :) At the base cottonwood tends to have bigger blocks and sycamores have small scaly plates

    Here down south the bark of a Blackjack oak looks similar to an eastern persimmon and is also described as an alligator appearance

    Your ash example looks so foreign to me. The ash trees in my yard have very pale colored bark, and the furrows are somewhat shallow and the whole furrow/ridge pattern is much smaller/tighter than the huge ridges on the tree you are looking at. However, the trees were mostly in the 12-18" diameter range before EAB interrupted their growth. So perhaps the bark looks different on larger trees. I think they are green or white ash trees, though my lack of expertise and the fact the trees are dead make that hard to be positive about.
    Thanks for the video, I would like to improve my tree ID skills, and learning more features to look for is great. I can usually ID tulip trees from the bark, It is probably the lighter grey in the furrows I key in on. Now I can pay attention to the ridges being parallel as well. Your past videos have also helped me realize I have several spicebush trees.

      I agree that the ashes typically have a smaller/tighter diamond shaped pattern. It was difficult finding a good example of the bark, because the trees I had access to were really old. I'm happy to hear that you like my other videos! :)

      Um, the word was "walls" of the diamond. Very clear.

    Thank you for the video. Well done but it concerns me about cutting or peeling the bark as it’s purpose is protection from insect infestation and airborne pathogens among others things like our skin. Searching the area for tree litter around the base of the tree or return back to the tree after seasonal changes can also help and would not cause any potential harm.
