Hello and welcome to my channel! I'm a botanist based in St. Louis, MO. I recently graduated with my M.S. in Biology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Learning about the different species of plants has always fascinated me, so I hope my videos can either spark or continue an interest in plants for you :)

In my opinion, a lot of the moderate plant ID books tend to be better for learning, but if you want to go at a slower pace, grab a more beginner one. I don’t recommend getting an expert level plant ID book until you can comfortably navigate through a moderate one. Have fun identifying! :)

8 Wintertime Tree ID Characteristics You Aren't Using
Thank you!
Wow! They regulate reproduction. Amazing.
Funny I just found some acorn seeds this fall.
I have a baby red (I'm pretty sure after this video) maple tree growing from the massive massive stump of an old maple that was cut down by the previous owners. But it's not really one tree, there are like ten trunks and it's growing out of one side of the stump like a giant bush, or a bouquet of flowers. The trunks growing up are already taller than my roof even though it's only been probably 5-6 years. My friend said part of the root system of the old tree was still alive somehow and shot up new trunks and leaves to survive. If it is part of the old tree's roots, does it count as a young tree or an old one? From the size of the trunk the tree that was cut down was about as big around as it's possible for a mature maple to get. So is this new tree going to die of old age even though it's small? I'm kind of attached to it just because it was so tenacious and wanted to live so bad. What do you think?
Great explanation, I appreciate you sharing this tree knowledge. 🌳
Thanks. Great explanation
Have you tried Plant IQ?
The way you talk I can't do it 😬
What’s wrong with it? :)
Great video, this is the most thorough and informative hickory tree / nut video on TH-cam. Why it’s not at the top of the search cue is strange.
Thank you so much 🥹
I've collected some acorns in the past few days to feed to the squirrels, one at a time. After looking at the video, I discover these are red oak acorns. Thank you!
Poison milk! 🤮
🤮🤮🤮
Pokeweed
Love some pokeweed! Hoping to do a video on that if I can find some fruits
SKIBIDI
Toilet rizz
What's your favorite toxic plant?
Just slice it, and it peels off. Prickly fruit or (Tunas) in Spanish. Eating a lot will get you constipated.
Great video. Thanks. Although the “red oaks have more tannin” thing is a myth according to Samuel thayers research
Um yumm but the beginning of this video... umm are you going through some things buddy 😅
Hahaha it was supposed to be scary for Halloween 👻👺
Would you try these gummy bears? :)
Very nice presentation. Try to hold the acorns without moving them so fast while you are describing them. Is Bur Oak a member of the white oak group ?
Yellowbud hickory is currently being used as a native replacement for olive oil/cooking oil. The problem is that the oil has to be refrigerated and spoils after 10-12 months.
You know how to identify trees how about the gift the lord Jesus gave you as a MAN ? Jesus the way the truth the life
native to where :3?
It's mostly native to central and eastern North America, but also oddly California and Nevada...
Cool!
I'm glad you liked it :)
Hes so cute 🥰
No, you 💝
Gotta show us the plant too Plant Daddy!
I have another video on my channel that goes through the identification of the spicebush. It's the spicebush species spotlight :)
Helllo plant daddy. My favorite kind of daddy.

A couple weeks ago I made a small bouquet of what I though were pearly everlasting. I sniffed them, and was amazed as how sweet and delicious they smelled. I'm guessing they weren't pearly everlasting. They look so much alike. Thanks!
Pearly everlasting is what I actually thought this was the first time I saw it too! Very similar, though I prefer rabbit's tobacco because of the smell :)
First time viewer. I love this plant, it grows all along my favorite local river to paddle. I saw it for the first time in a fancy landscape like 2 weeks ago, I was thrilled!
That's awesome! I saw it in reverse. First saw it in landscaping, then saw a ton along the edge of a lake. I was amazed
I have seen them with the flower dried up. I didn’t recognize the flowering version.
Shagbark hickory is definitely the easiest to identify
I 100% agree!
I’ve never seen one of these before, I also don’t go outside
Well, if you decide to go outside, you are now prepared to find a buttonbush! 😅
Have you ever stumbled upon a buttonbush?💥
Do they rebloom? I heard Magical Moonlight does and I want to know if they all do. Can you grow it into a compact, multi-trunk tree?
I'm currently taking dendrology at university and wow, your video has been a godsend. Thank you.
You are very welcome! I remember taking my plant ID courses, and wishing I had something like this video available (hence why I made it) :)
Found some tiny acorns. I believe they are pin oaks from your video. You were very helpful in pointing me onto more specific research. Thank you
Glad I could help! :)
I like, comment, and subscribe this video 😄👍
This was meant to be! Lol 😂 I went to pick up a native seed and plant order just yesterday and someone gave be 3 free seed packets. One was goldenrod! I was literally wondering what I might do with it and didn't even have a chance to research, when your video was recommended by YT. Maybe they heard me talking about it, when I got the seeds. Magic or spying 😅 I posted in my video the other day that I was interested in testing out plant based dyes...like maybe using my blue potatoes or red beets to stain paper or fabrics. This looks so fun! Great video 😊
It was destiny! (definitely not TH-cam spying on you) haha. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope your seeds sprout nicely!! :)
Butter yellow! Very nice.
I was so happy it came out that color!!
Really digging the goldenrod dye. Perfect color for the outdoors.
Thanks! Can camouflage within the goldenrods haha
Thank you so much!
No, thank YOU :)
Thank you so much!
That’s really cool! I didn’t know you can make dye from Goldenrod. I look forward to your future videos on dye making. Funny story about goldenrod. A couple years ago I noticed that when walking my dogs, one of them would eat the leaves off of only one plant. I’m used to dogs eating random vegetation, so I didn’t think anything of it at first, but then I noticed that she only ate this one leaf. So I used leaf snap to identify it, and it was goldenrod. After looking into it, I came to find out that goldenrod is an ancient medicinal herb, and is sold as a supplement. How my dog knew that it was good for her, I’m not sure. I can only assume she’s been reading my copies of men’s health magazine when I’m not looking.
I find the idea of your dog using her paw to flip through your men's health magazine very funny haha. But, I've so many dyes planned :)
I just found your videos today. Better late than never. Subscribed.
Morel mushrooms sautéed in butter. Yum!
Those are really good!
Biblical gluttony! 😂
It was! hahaha
What's your favorite wild edible?
Mushrooms!
Passiflora foetida!
Where do I get some Spicebush fruit???
@@mturbe Haha I know you like your mushrooms!
@@cubetheorist3419 Oooo!!! I have a different Passiflora that I've been trying to get to fruit. I only got it to flower, no fruits... This is its first year though, so I'm not worried!
we had some hickories with nuts as big as black walnuts and with the husk on them the size of softballs. what are they called? they were harder to crack than a black walnut but very tasty
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge! I am beginning my foray into foraging and these videos have proved indispensable. Keep on keeping on! <3
Thank you! :)
Is Elmleaf Goldrenrod edible and if so, for what purposes? how should it be eaten ?
Nice video! I have a pecan in my backyard that was planted by whoever built this house in 1963. It's enormous and produces so many pecans we can't use them all so we sell what we can't use. I'm in New Mexico where pecan is a major crop. The bark on mine (and all the others around here) looks a lot more like the example you showed of pignut hickory? I've never seen bark like the pecan you showed. I guess there are other cultivars with different characteristics.
That was interesting
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you liked it :)
