      I would like your opinion on something as I'm no expert. So I live in Greece and it's really hot here. My dad has a 50 year old fir tree and it has become really big over the year but unfortunately due to the extreme hit it recently turned brown. all of it's tiny leaves. It's also covered in ivy, which I'm thinking could also be taking part in drying it along with the heat. Do you think there's a way of saving it? Or should we just accept the fact that these are it's last moments?? I'd love your opinion on this:)

    A difference between Spurce and Fir is that the needles of Spurce sting a little when you press the tip of the needle, while Fir needles don't sting when you press on the tip.
    This has helped me a lot to identify, hopefully it will help you.

    Years ago i discovered essential oil and didn't really care for it too much, that is until i got a hold of some black spruce oil and fell in love with it. Found a local shop that also had white spruce, spruce hemlock, siberian fir and 3 types of pine. Been 100% more aware of trees since then.. trying to identify every one that i see, even when driving through the country.
    Another one i really like is douglas fir (although not technically a true fir). The aroma is like pine with a sort of sweetness to it. Both that one and cedar leaf (thuja), put me right in the forest.

    Great video. I live in California where we have all kinds of conifers, no larches though. It would have been interesting to also compare the Douglas Firs which of course are not true firs. We have the Common Douglas Fir and the Big Cone Douglas Fir which is endemic to Southern CA.

    • @ratandmonkey2982
      @ratandmonkey2982 Рік тому +1

      wow, didn't know that! Just looked it up: The Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)is an evergreen conifer species in the pine family, Pinaceae. The leaves are flat, soft, linear needles 2-4 centimetres (3⁄4-1+1⁄2 in) long, generally resembling those of the firs, occurring singly rather than in fascicles.

    I like it! Very informative. Ever try to harvest pine nuts whilst sojourning in forests or foothills of mountain ranges? Also, I think I've been the victim of a drive by sprucing. My last vehicle was parked near a spruce tree one time and as I drove it out of that parking spot, I notice a clear but thick substance fall smack on the windshield. Urghhh...I remember that being such a pain to clean. Any tips in that regard?

    Do pine wood needles contain surmin? And does surmin also cleanse toxins from vaccines?

  • @MrMonero
    @MrMonero 2 роки тому +1

    What a good video. Is larch the best to use for woodworking projects? As far as I am aware larch is the most suited for outdoor stuff as it is the most water and rot resistant without needing to be treated.
    I have been told that both cedar and larch are the two to use in these instances whereas pine, spruce and fir are softer and less rot resistant and will need treating or painting to protect them if being used for outdoor purposes.
    Is this correct?

    • @RonS.-ts8ec

    A good way to distinguish fir and spruce is to take the first letter of each ie: F for Fir which is Flat and does not roll between your fingers and Spruce which is Square (you can roll it between your thumb and finger) Also the Larch (Hackmatack, Tamarack) is the only evergreen/conifer to lose its needles in the winter
