It's interesting how people often misunderstand words, really the truth is conifers and broadleaf trees can be in either catagory it depends more on their evolutionary location. In the tropics there's no reason to shed leaves as it's consistently rainy and sunny all the time so most things are evergreen, meanwhile in the American Northeastern regions due to winter there is an advantage to losing leaves, at least for broadleaves, conifers don't have the same selective pressures so are often evergreen regardless of where they are found, though there are exceptions for reasons I don't know except nature loves to be annoying. Great video
I wish I could rub my face along the wood. Oh it looks so smooth and dare I say it, attractive! Loved the outtakes at the end! Love your videos! God bless you! ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you, that is helpful info. It is interesting to see your trees that we don't have on the East coast. I never heard of a Madrone until I started watching your videos.
A lot of people are saying they haven’t seen the madrone. I enjoy watching East Coast videos, seeing all the different things over there that we don’t have.
Here in the Texas Hill Country, west of San Antonio and Austin, one of our best fall color trees is the bald cypress that grows along the banks of the clear running limestone streams. A beautiful blend of rust and copper to near purple in the right light.
Up here in Nova Scotia that is what they say . And they are almost ok saying it . Except for Juniper which drops its needles in the winter . Thanks for opening up my horizons .
In Venezuela we have evergreen trees like Samán/rain-tree as well as softwood evergreens like the Caribbean pine, but we also have huge and pricey deciduous trees like the coral trees, the yellow IPE/ arawaney, etc. (Or the mahogany and it's little cousin the cedrella odorata)
I have always messed with the folks who sill say if it has cones it will keep its leaves which is when I point to the western red Alders near by which has mini cones and drops its leaves.
Gorgeous stand of Madrone, (1:40 mark) -- none grow here so well; too low elevation, too damp. Remember, ask the same question to 3 Foresters and receive 7 answers... Another likeroo, cheers from your neighbour to the North.
Could be worse ---You could be asking the Jesuits for an answer! BTW if you ask 10 Jesuits a question be prepared ---YOU will get 27 different answers ------and one SMART-A** PRIEST who will ask YOU 20 questions to see if you already know the answer and are just playing games! Yes I'm Catholic and yes I went to a Jesuit H.S. ---and now you know why I know this as well as the rest of the story!
Here in the northwest, I don't hear anybody refer to pine/fir/cedar etc. as evergreen, most everybody says conifer, or if they really know nothing about tree's they refer to all conifers as pine.
I hear a lot of people calling them Evergreen here in Southern Oregon. Mostly people who aren’t very connected with the woods. I know what you mean about people calling all conifers pine. That is very common here.
Dawn Redwood, Metasequioa glyptostroboides is a great example. Deciduous, grows in China, the only other redwood besides Seqioua sempervirens and Sequioadendron gigantium. There was one at Humboldt State with a placard telling us, "Hey, don't worry when this redwood drops its leaves, its a deciduous variety." In Southern California too we have lots of shrubs and trees that are drought/heat deciduous like black sage or ocotillo.
Let me throw down some re-confusion. Many people think pines drop green needles any time of the year. In fact, they drop brown needles primarily in the fall! Sure, they aren't the needles that sprouted in the spring but the ones that sprouted the year before.(or was it the year before that?) Anyway, I want those 5 points on the pop quiz I was unjustly denied in 4th grade 50 years ago!
I will definitely give you 5 points for that one. You are right evergreens do lose their leaves, just not all at the same time. They keep their newer leaves and shed their older leaves.
Have a beautiful ornamental evergreen conifer in my front yard that I’m at a loss to identify as it has an open center form. No idea why I told you that as I can’t remember the needle structure! lol
yep, that's about the size of it. apples and oranges but for some reason you cannot look up conifer and not get deciduous along side it in some fashion. I think this confuses people. doubt they even teach this stuff in school anymore.
Funny I saw that madrone and I thought "Why don't they get madrone up in BC? Kinda looks like arbutus though."... Ok turns out that madrone is arbutus haha.
All this confusion started when humans forgot how to distinguish which bathroom they are supposed to use…..and now, people just can’t tell what is a hardwood and a soft wood, which is a broadleaf and a needle. The world is upside down….
I don't know if y'all have magnolia trees. Forgive me for my spelling. Anyways I don't know if they grow up that way. But we have a lot of them here. They're ever green.
They aren’t native here but we have a lot of them in town in peoples yards. Some varieties are evergreen and some varieties are deciduous. It’s the Evergreen ones I see here in yards.
👌🏼 Ginkgo biloba. Conifurous Broadleave ?! ( tamarack is many millions years old too. Hard but next all the trees species here on the northern east cost,it's soft. That's just eastcoast slang. So the Ginkgo might be ~ 240 millions years old i think. Survived in the unglacieted pockets of asia seems like. A jewel of a tree. I started planting some here and there along my paths... 🟢🟡💎

Well said. Especially the part where you said “nature loves to be annoying” 😂
Here in So Cal, it seems like most trees are evergreen. Even the ones that aren't supposed to be.😊 I love the channel. Keep up the great videos.
I always found it funny that mesquite and palo verde trees drop their tiny leaves during winter even though they never encounter snow
Those two madrone you showed are absolutely gorgeous!
They are beautiful trees but those are a couple really good specimens.
I wish I could rub my face along the wood. Oh it looks so smooth and dare I say it, attractive! Loved the outtakes at the end! Love your videos! God bless you! ❤️🙏🏼
I have a lot in common with Homer Simpson, MY HEAD HURTS WHEN I THINK THIS HARD. Thanks for the info.

I have seen some of the cypress around San Antonio. Beautiful trees. I liked that area when I was there. Would love to see them in the fall.
Although some “hard woods” are quite soft, in fact softer than the hardest “soft woods”
It’s all wood to me. Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for putting in the part at the end. That was fun.
Thank you - you helped me understand the difference and my understanding before this video was wrong. You explained it very well.

Yep another potentially confusing tree to people. And yes a good opportunity to mess with folks. 😁
Great video! Just the other day I was explaining the same to a friend. I'll send him this video!

Sounds like foresters might be the better deal.
I hadn't thought much about it. You could also include some of the etymology conifer "cone bearing", deciduous "to fall down".
There were a few things I decided to leave out just to keep things simple on this one. Maybe that would be good for another video.
I think I understand most of this already, so thank you for the lesson today.
If I watch again a few more times it will start to make better sense.
I think everybody should watch it a few more times. Maybe like 100 times. It helps with my view count. 😁

Love the editing back and forth 😂 👍🏼
Please tell us about the Genko tree , there is one near me and the word “Genko “ is the Japanese word for Bank
Adding the bloopers was great!
I have noticed people enjoy watching me mess up. 😁
Great video, thanks for clearing this up
👍
Look up Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Understanding these terms can clear up confusion as well.
I covered gymnosperms and angiosperms in my hardwood softwood video linked in the description.
Gorgeous trees and great video! 🤙
What would you call the Tamarack? It loses it's needles in the fall and winter.
A deciduous conifer.
Yep, that's why we always just said hardwood, softwood, saves a lot of confusion!!!
Those words are easier to say too.
Mahogany is a facultative deciduous tree, in the dry season it changes its leaves.
Great throw down. Do the new boots hurt and is that why you are sitting when you never sit?
No the new boots are doing OK. I just thought it would be fun to try sitting video for once.

Yeah that doesn’t help me out a whole lot. 😂
Okay
I need to know who called?
Haha i fell for the evergreen idea also and never thought about trees that kept their leave green all year!
I was about to say your mom, but that wouldn’t be nice. It was actually my State Farm agent.
@@WilsonForestLands hahahhahaha I thought that was only suppose to be a one night stand?
Learning video
😂 love the bloopers
Ahh, I learned something today.
yep, that's about the size of it.
apples and oranges but for some reason you cannot look up conifer and not get deciduous along side it in some fashion.
I think this confuses people.
doubt they even teach this stuff in school anymore.
They didn’t teach a whole lot in school back when I was there.
The hardwood versus softwood debate is another rabbit hole. 🤦♂️
What state are you in?
Oregon
Evergreen is easy to spell, desiduous is difficult.
👍😎
Funny I saw that madrone and I thought "Why don't they get madrone up in BC? Kinda looks like arbutus though."... Ok turns out that madrone is arbutus haha.
Yep I think even some places in Washington they call it Arbitus.
All this confusion started when humans forgot how to distinguish which bathroom they are supposed to use…..and now, people just can’t tell what is a hardwood and a soft wood, which is a broadleaf and a needle. The world is upside down….
Now us keyboard warriors have enough ammunition to go out and correct some people. Thanks for the info.
🙂
😂😅😊
Wellllll, more than I can retain about trees. You getcha some new boots there? Or just saddle soap the old ones.
I don't know if y'all have magnolia trees. Forgive me for my spelling. Anyways I don't know if they grow up that way. But we have a lot of them here. They're ever green.

@@WilsonForestLands that is what we have. They grow very slow. And put some pretty white bulbs out
Well if you can find it on the interwebs then it has to be true .... ;-)
Bloopers are too real
They are definitely too real on my end.
The Larch...The Larch...
Or, as Monty Python would say; "How to spot a Larch, from quite a long way away..."
Oh the Python the Python.

Pine trees, apple trees, pineapple🤔😁 cool video Wilson. 🪵
Now that’s just adding confusion. 😁🤣
This song makes it very clear from an East Coast context

Fortunately for all of you, I didn’t break out into song on this one. 😂
