I love this tree, but I have had a very difficult time researching historical uses. Thanks for drawing attention to it. With any luck it finds a community of supporters as robust as the American chestnut.

Thanks!!!..i had some birch syrup too!

How to propagate?

Before modern laminated scaffold boards were developed, we use exclusively hemlock scaffold boards because there's stiff. Pine is really springy we use those before there was that plywood which is what we use now.

Way kool! Good job on this- many thanx!

Beech and birch are distantly related, same order different family, almost like cousins

Dogwood does not split and it's very heavy intense it makes great mallets the head of a mallet for wood carving can be made of Dogwood

Netflix want world no 1

Artists/oil painters, may know of Venice turpentine this is turpentine made of Larch sap instead of pine sap.

we had one in our woods in the '60s and '70s. we called it the dumb dumb tree. we all carved in

Does it grow straight 20 foot plus?

awesome video thanks dude

I have a beautiful striped maple in my back yard, but I've been taking down surrounding trees. How much direct sunlight can it handle?

I have 4 in my backyard, only 1 is big, þe oþers are 2 ft wide, þe mature cherries are lovely tasting, I hear you can tan leaþer wiþ Cherry bark also.

Excellent video, very well done. Thank you for your information.

We have a historic butternut in our yard. It is 100+ yrs old and GIANT. It is my favorite tree, which the kids have called it “Sunset”. She recently had a nice trim to keep her healthy.

Its wood is often used for solid body electric guitars, not too soft, not too light, not too heavy.

You failed to mention, that it’s the favorite wood for wood carving.

Wow, I was just looking for a little bit of information about this tree. That was extremely informative! Thanks for the video.

Even though I’m a California native, who loves our version of prickly leaf oak trees that define our coastal grassland hills, I like to consider, from San Francisco to Santa Barbara; I came upon this video after listening to a TED talk and a few other videos regarding the de-extinction project of passenger pigeons that were historically symbiotic with the white oak trees, along with the historically native red wolves as deer predators to chase them, and keep them on the run that could all give white oak trees a chance with that native ecosystem. Otherwise, maybe prescribed burns and well-managed deer hunting could help, unless you East coasters know more about these trees than I do.

Just recently stumbled upon your channel when I was looking up how to take care of a platanus occidentalis. Love the content and the way you talk about the ecology of each tree really brings me in. I've been trying to see if I could utilize some free college programs around here where I live but there just doesn't seem to be any ecology programs to choose from. Your channel and videos have been scratching that itch for me. For now at least I'm just a hobby shepherd of a mixed red oak/maple forest here in my small little town. A hole opened up in the canopy a few months ago and when this sycamore was plopped in my lap it's really kick started a journey of sorts. Keep at it my dude, you're doing good work and it's having a positive impact.

The leaf you used is found on young tulips in our area next to Smokey Mountains National Park. However, the mature tree tulip leaf here looks very different from your example and looks somewhat similar to a red maple leaf. Also, the National Park guide to trees in the Park shows the tulip leaf very different from the example you used. See "Trees and Forests" brochure published by the Park.

Pipes were made from the root burl, not the above ground wood. It is actually closely related to the Heath that most pipes are made from. They are also made from the root burl called briar or bruyere, a species native to the Mediterranean circle of countries like France, Italy, Greece, and Algeria. The root burl grows fairly large and produces a very hard, but porous wood that can withstand high temperatures and dissipate heat and moisture quickly while imparting no taste on its own. The Mountain Laurel was used as a substitute in war time but the wood is softer than the proper briar.

NIce video! Will watch some more...I love trees and understand how important they are, but this popped up due to my interest in the main new wood that Fender will be using for the majority of their guitars, unless they can find new sources of northern ash, swamp ash, or alder.

Knower of Oak

Came across this as I searched for the reason for the name. I have some growing around an old well pump on my ancestral property. I love how big the leaves get and the flowers are quite pretty. Thank you for doing this video.

This is such a lovely species and it’s existence is threatened by more than one fatal disease. It distresses me greatly

We have several 80+ footers on our property in MN. They make tons of baby trees everywhere. Every bad storm though they lose tons of branches and it’s a huge cleanup effort. The sap is very stubborn to wash off skin and clothing. Seems like brittle wood because the low beaches get so long and heavy they snap under their own weight, leaving a bare trunk up to the higher shorter branches. Great video thank you!

Deer like White Oak acorns.

Find a big Burr oak, over a dry creek bed. That’s the setup !

OMG my 6 piece drumset is made out of this tree! The boxes were so heavy even though poplar is a lightweight wood. Most mid drumsets these days are made from poplar. Just because poplar is a cheap wood, doesn't mean that it's sound is cheap. Some drums are even made out of acrylic! The kit sounds so good that it's hard to distinguish it from oak. Guitar bodies are made from these trees too.

This video id VERY informative and helpful...thank you for that...I have a White oak on my property and I have been wondering how to propagate more, thank you for this video!

Wow a wood thrush in the background..nice

Definately European Larch (Larix decidua) that you are looking at here. Larix laricina cones are much smaller, about the size of Eastern Hemlock cones.

I am going to say this ahain he is pretty xo lol i like trees when he teachs me lol.I have never liked oarange until him lol

I work for a millwork company, over the last 6 months there has been a 40% increase in the price of white oak. It's trending with interior designers because you can apply a wirebrush and ceruse finish. Barrel makers have contributed by purchasing all available inventory. You predicted this year's ago.

Love it!

Hornbeam is so good for tool handles. And makes amazing firewood.

Love your enthusiasm and you a good looking tree hugger lol i must say. Very cute smile and i love over bites.Keep doing what you are doing.The wold need super hero narure guys.

disparaging dowsers? 🙊 I enjoyed your very informative Tree Talk .. I'll check out Jenny's article also .. Thanks !!

Terrific

I have a White Pine sapling growing in my yard now that a Squirrel planted and forgot here in North Alabama near the Tennessee State line. I'm going to leave it to grow.

Great video! The forest is lovely and the rain is so soothing! Thanks for sharing this valuable information. The calcium and the snails are really cool. Truly helpful. Best wishes.

Lovely video! It looks like HEAVEN! Thank you very much for preparing these videos. Truly helpful the big letters with the main information and the maps. Also the detailed explanations about the bark and compound leaves. Your assistant is so cute! Best wishes!

Beautiful video! THANK YOU!!! Love all your explanations and also the information in big letters. Your assistant is super cute. Truly helpful. Best wishes.

Nice video, that big cherry helped me identify a similar tree in my back yard. Thanks

Thank you very much for your easy going videos! Truly helpful all the information and details in learning about nature and trees. Best of luck in all your work.

I have this tree in my front yard. I have lived here 8 years, and this is the 1st time the tree is weeping sap, standing underneath it feels like misting. Is my tee ok or is there something going on?

I did not know I needed to watch this video at 6;30 am 6/3/24 untill it came acrossed my recommendations. Thank you 😅
