fun fact: birch trees actually developed highly flammable bark as a fire _resist!_ it might seem counterintuitive, but the thin bark catches and burns so quickly, that it doesn't have time to light the actual wood of the tree. this is why, when using birch bark to start a fire, you need kindling as well as large logs.
I've noticed that on relatively old birch trees the paper-like bark at the bottom gets stripped off and starts to look more similar to oak bark, does that mean they get less fire resistant as they age, or is it a non-issue at that point?
When the cambium of a tree dies, the tree will be dead. The heartwood of a tree is not alive at all, only the outer rings of the wood are and transport water to the leaves. The cambium of the tree sits on top of the sapwood under the bark and is the only part of the tree that grows. It pushes the older bark outwards and grows a new ring of wood each year and a new layer of bark outwards and so the layers pile up. The bark of a birch contains a lot of oils and actually protects it more against insects, but less to fire. When the bark burns, the cambium goes along with it, killing the tree. Birches have also specced into the flying seed perk and actually make probably ten times as much seeds as a maple, with this high spawn rate and high spawning range I think they deserve to be C tier.
@molly howell No, they are saying that the term "skill tree" is very confusing if trees don't exist yet, which they didn't until about 350 million years ago.
I believe it's more a problem of their overall relationship with humans. Algae builds have a greater tendency than trees to contaminate water supplies, which makes them less desirable to human mains. By contrast, tree builds drop the loot item wood when defeated, which human mains have used to craft tools and shelters.
Maple didn't put any points into aesthetics. It's not the trees fault we find it's dying leaves beautiful. The tree gains no survival advantage from this the way plants with pretty flowers attract more pollinators. It's just a coincidence that human players like looking at it.
Funnily enough maples have been starting to usurp oaks on the Eastern North America servers due to a higher combined resistance to drought conditions and the AOE poison damage of Amur honeysuckle mains
In my local server, the human builds tend to decorate their base networks with maple builds. Especially the "Suburbia" base network. My build is currently in a server where the "Autumn" world event is occurring. The maples are so beautiful I took a few screenshots this morning. Plus, if I ever get enough in-game currency to get my dream base, I plan to try to make spawn points for "sugar maple" support players. The anthropocine is definitely making "support player to human builds" a viable strategy.
The Gympie Gympie tree is definitely OP. Its defence stats are off the chart. I would argue that fruit trees are S tier, as they have successfully recruited human players to spread themselves to every continental meta except Antarctica.
Putting a conifer above all the flowering trees is a big mistake. Conifers have been pushed to extreme environments (high elevation, cold weather) for the most part by the deciduous trees. No way they are S tier.
Plus Mangroves are less an individual build as they are a class of builds. Lots of unrelated species are mangroves, like how there are tons of different bushes that become tumbleweeds.

TierZoo: "Oak trees contain tannic acid" Video: *Is displaying a screenshot of Wikipedia explaining that Oak trees do not actually contain tannic acid*
there is a rare biome subtype located in an near a specific city biome in northern Sweden that is part city biome and part birch tree forest. that city biome is known as "Umeå"
Birch trees are amazing, though! They are the only tree builds on our server in middle europe that can grow in swamp biomes. Their reproductive abilities are seriously overpowering them, and they are the first ones to grab hold of cleared areas where a lot of spruce trees get deleted by storms and ice. And their aesthetics...
There are also species capable of surviving in cold and dry climates. Birch trees are the most common leaf tree in the nordic nations, making up about 12% of Swedish trees with asp, the second most common leaf tree only making up about 1%. With this wide margin their viability is unquestionable
@@ratkeep Seems logical. If you included plants, mushrooms and microbial organisms, stuff like that as playable characters, then Outside’s servers would crash from too many users.
Imo the eucalyptus tree is also top tier. It has very flammable eucalyptus in its leaves so that when the bushfires go through Australia, it actually makes the flames burn more so it has a higher chance of burning back the entire forest. To combat this hurting it, eucalypts are able to grow back their leaves significantly faster than other tree. It actually grows leaves wherever it can, even out of the trunk so that it can grow back faster than any of its competition. So it burns away and then takes the space of the other trees in its area.
Your forgetting the fast respawn time that allows the pine tree to mitigate for damage from grief. Christmas or pine trees tend to only take 2-3 years to fully grow whereas tankier builds like oak and mahogony can take 20-50+ years to fully mature. This means that the pine tree is much more adapted for use in agriculture and forest recovery scheeems or recovering from increasing rates of forest fires. While one of the most farmed builds it'swell suited to the current meta and is much more likely to outlast it's tankier competitors.
Anything with enough market Synergy that other species are willing to build entire farms around it, is usually getting a BUFF and free Wards, not a down-rating. Don't be a n00b
In defense of birch mains, I feel that a critical point of that play-style was overlooked. You may think there is no point dumping most of your evolution points into things like "extremely flammable wood and bark", and "there no point in having a tree designed to burn well". HOWEVER THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF PLAYING BIRCH! You plant your trees in a forest, and eventually start a massive forest fire. Now, birch players have a huge advantage. Birch are regarded as "pioneer species" meaning they are able to rapidly colonize open ground, which synergies super well with the forest fire ability. Not only is the area free from other competition, the ground itself is full of nutrients left from the fire. On the relatively calm arboreal servers, birch is probably the most rewarding IMO.
I know this is an old video, but i've recently learned that oak trees actually spread partly because of the squirrels burying them and forgetting where they are!
As someone who's not a fan of squirrels, that strategy of periodically starving them out is incredible! I may have to try out an Oak Tree in my next play through just to give that strategy a try.
I just was just about to comment asking how he could have possibly overlooked the eucalyptus. They grow bloody TALL. They're drought resistant, fire resistant, their leaves are poisonous, they're incredibly durable, and despite the fact they're such prolific shitposters that they spontaneously combust in California, they still deserved to be on this list.
@@CrazyJayThaNinja >when you put enough points into the fire element that it gives you both fire resistance and fire attacks while having it as a major weakness for your race. truly a S-class tree
I immediately thought of redwoods, with fire-resistant bark. True, eucalyptus trees are great for their climate, but can't hack the cold temperatures and cold. To each his own climate.
Start with the Red Algae build, then in this order unlock Chlorophyll, Multicellular, Terrestrial, and Vascular. Once you've done that you'll unlock the option to evolve into a tree.
"You see, the trouble with the maples, and they're quite convinced they're right, is that the oaks are just too lofty and they grab up all the light." - Geddy Lee This is a good information for getting to the bottom of The Trees civil war first reported on by Rush. More on the plant meta would be enjoyable.
Maybe Oaks should switch the tannic acid in their acorns to something humans like. Sap, maybe, or protein. Acorns are great xp sources for them, especially since humans have the cooking skill entirely to themselves. There are humans who collect acorns and turn them into flour for some of their niche baking clan quests. But they take a lot of extra effort to do it, because they have to get rid of the tannic acid. White oaks are already on this path, having fewer tannins in their acorns, so maybe humans will start planting their seeds for them like they do with their other plant party members.
I'm a tree health care specialist for a living and this video was huge treat for me. I couldve watched hours of this.. Really wish he mentioned the Gingko or maybe the coastal redwood tree. Those are very OP.
Actually, they're one of the most frost-resistant broad-leaf trees, they generally suffer limited damage from parasytes, and grow easily on difficult (e.g. burnt) grounds. So they're not that bad at all.
@@robertaperoglio And yet none of that usually matters since there roots are so shallow compared to other trees that they fall over with just a little bit of ice/snow weight or wind Therefor they are nonsensical and Tier Zoo called them out on it
Lvl 70 Eucalyptus here: you've got to be joking by leaving out our clan, right? We're like the Vikings of the tree meta. We don't just have defense. We literally gank other trees and kill them. We spread a poison through our leaves that kills off other trees. Our raids are so super effective that we completely dominated one of the toughest servers for trees--the Australia server--eons ago, and now we're spreading like wildfire (pun intended) across all the other non-Arctic servers. Stand in awe of the Eucalyptus clan, you noobs!
Level 10 pedunculate oak: *laughs* he’s full of it Level 15 common ash: *chuckles* who does he think he’s kidding Level 40 silver birch: *sniggers* this dude can barely survive out of garden care Level 5 scots pine: you’re literally a worm under my boot
Not to mention eucalypts contain flammable oils that help Australian wildfires spread, thinning out other tree species to reduce competition for nutrients while also reducing the canopy and exposing their own seedlings to more sunlight. Using Australia's harsh environment to their advantage to both reduce competition and help friendly spawn.
To add, conifers are some of the oldest, a testament to their effectiveness is just how old, around 265 million years old (random guess based on a book that gives me “late Permian” and me using the half and half system or for the third, third, and third system, 260 million years old), which proves how good they are since they survived the Permian Triassic (PTr) extinction event, and the Cretaceous Paleogene (KPg) extinction event

Shoutout to the craziest tree main of all time. I honestly don't know where his build (quaking Aspen) would fall in the tier list, but Pando has racked up some crazy high scores. Solid contender for highest HP, longest playthrough length, most calories produced/consumed by a single character, and probably a ton of other stuff I'm not even thinking of. If ever there was doubt that there's an art to playing trees, I'd think Pando proves there is.
Here are some things that I’ve noticed. Conifer trees are MUCH older than angiosperms (leaved plants). In addition to that, not all conifers are evergreen( tamarack). Also some conifers like red pine will drop their lower branches and routinely survive ground fires. Not all conifers are adapted to fire either (balsam fir). I also believe that the video showed aspen trees in the beginning rather than birch. Birch isn’t good with fires but it’s mostly grows in wetter areas where that isn’t a problem. It’s bark is also is chemically resistant to parasites so that also eliminates woodpeckers.
I think we all really have a different perspective on,”What is an F tier tree?” if it has strong defenses or better effects? What I’m getting from you guys is that this tree is relentless in surviving but not exactly better for it’s environment.
Easy XP trick: have two accounts and have yourself select the tree build in one account and selecting a herbivores build in the other. Have your herbivore fed by your own tree.
_"So just by watching you have planted about 1/500 of a tree"._ Somewhere out there someday, there will be a tree with a branch that was created because of you. When that day comes you will breathe in the air that that tree has created for you.
Junipers, pines and spruce are top tier trees. Juniper can grow on a rocky surface with basically no nutrients and it has berries so seeds travel with animals and have rich soil to be planted on. Spruce spread fast, grow fast and can survive in shadowy places, making it good at infiltrating forests and growing big enough to drown other trees. It also makes the ground so acidic that only it (and moss) can survive on it. Pines require light, and they do that well with their height. If spruce comes in and drowns them, they drop their bark and die. It then is extremely flammable and will eventually burn the spruce forest down. Other pines stay alive because of their thick bark.

A few related side-notes: living redwoods are very fire-resistant, and drought-resistant, as they get 1/3rd of their water by pulling in fog. Also, when you cut down a redwood, suckers will sprout from the stump, so unless you burn it out or remove the taproot, they will keep growing. Inversely, dry redwood boards go up like tinder.

Maybe Oaks should switch the tannic acid in their acorns to something humans like. Sap, maybe, or protein. Acorns are great xp sources for them, especially since humans have the cooking skill entirely to themselves. There are humans who collect acorns and turn them into flour for some of their niche baking clan quests. But they take a lot of extra effort to do it, because they have to get rid of the tannic acid. White oaks are already on this path, having fewer tannins in their acorns, so maybe humans will start planting their seeds for them like they do with their other plant party members.

To add, conifers are some of the oldest, a testament to their effectiveness is just how old, around 265 million years old (random guess based on a book that gives me “late Permian” and me using the half and half system or for the third, third, and third system, 260 million years old), which proves how good they are since they survived the Permian Triassic (PTr) extinction event, and the Cretaceous Paleogene (KPg) extinction event
Gymnosperms (cone bearing plants) actually predate angiosperms (flowering plants), showing that other trees switched and are lower tier because of it

@@theviniso
I think by "actual english" they mean the way their professors explain it or whatever.
Here are some things that I’ve noticed. Conifer trees are MUCH older than angiosperms (leaved plants). In addition to that, not all conifers are evergreen( tamarack). Also some conifers like red pine will drop their lower branches and routinely survive ground fires. Not all conifers are adapted to fire either (balsam fir). I also believe that the video showed aspen trees in the beginning rather than birch. Birch isn’t good with fires but it’s mostly grows in wetter areas where that isn’t a problem. It’s bark is also is chemically resistant to parasites so that also eliminates woodpeckers.

_"So just by watching you have planted about 1/500 of a tree"._
Somewhere out there someday, there will be a tree with a branch that was created because of you. When that day comes you will breathe in the air that that tree has created for you.
Junipers, pines and spruce are top tier trees.
Juniper can grow on a rocky surface with basically no nutrients and it has berries so seeds travel with animals and have rich soil to be planted on.
Spruce spread fast, grow fast and can survive in shadowy places, making it good at infiltrating forests and growing big enough to drown other trees. It also makes the ground so acidic that only it (and moss) can survive on it.
Pines require light, and they do that well with their height. If spruce comes in and drowns them, they drop their bark and die. It then is extremely flammable and will eventually burn the spruce forest down. Other pines stay alive because of their thick bark.

A few related side-notes: living redwoods are very fire-resistant, and drought-resistant, as they get 1/3rd of their water by pulling in fog. Also, when you cut down a redwood, suckers will sprout from the stump, so unless you burn it out or remove the taproot, they will keep growing. Inversely, dry redwood boards go up like tinder.
