No wonder the country is in so much debt. Look at the sheer number of duplicative organizations, government agencies, programs, and more. Otherwise, a great presentation that did a good job of organizing the alphabet soup of government and non-profits doing the same work.

Thanks very helpful video

Thanks for posting this. This is very helpful for me . I'm trying to manage a small buckthorn and honeysuckle infestation. There are lots of seedlings and this gave me some ideas on how to work with that.

The Asian one in Illinois now!

@26:58 what about late autumn or early winter or mid-winter, when dormancy also occurs?

@22:14 apical dominance is the phenomenon whereby the main, central stem (the apex) of the plant is dominant over (i.e., grows more strongly than) side stems. on a branch, it refers to the main stem of the branch being dominant over side twigs.

Very informative, thank you!

Excellent presentation.

Wow! Beautiful trees. Spectacles of nature.

Thanks!

Man I've been pulling a lot of these things now. I find it easier to pull out now while the gorund is still wet and soft. Some woody invasives I can't get up. So I cut it and spray some of the glycophosphate (i think it's called) on the cut stem and then come back next year and try pulling it up again

This video is a great descriptor of this invasive species, and great to share with others for identification (it is early March right now anyways). Thanks for making this, it will be shared.

Very informative video. Thank you. I was not aware. Will watch for them in the yard. Soil was added where we had two trees planted. And mulch.

Great information here on several of the different methods. Thank you!

Great vid. Watched twice. Gearing up to prune my hardwoods here in central IN

Really enjoy the tree identification videos. I can confirm that silver maple does have an odor. I have two behind my house. If you break them the odor reminds me of when you have touched a ladybug.

Great series, thank you for putting it together, and more importantly, making it publicly available!

Install a Screech Owl nest box. They will check rodent populations that host ticks and attract pit vipers.

We have one in Jefferson county Illinois -- approximately 221 years old. Massive height.

Good stuff

European larch is not native to the USA let alone Illinois I think you confused that with the American larch

1st very important topic thanks.

The fruit looks interesting, never seen that before. Makes it easy to identify based on just that, i suppose

I got a small sapling coming out the back yard and now im glad its this tree. Gonna let it grow to maturity

Do you know of any old sorbus domestica in Stewardson, Illinois ? I see that location has a sorbus domestica .Unsure of age or exact location. can you help locate? I ask because i found a sorbus domestica in northern wi . i wish to confirm identification because it seems to be a posible native or hybrid and i am looking for a link to some older tree because this one is on a bog. Blooms in june and is not an american sorbus. I know domestic can root grow easily. I known of this tree in wi for 50 yrs. i would age it at aprox 100 yrs but becaus of the regenerative quality it maybe 80 -beyond 100 yrs.

What is the name of the Cemical (blue color) that you are using?

Thank you for all of the helpful information.

Hello Chris Im wondering if I can do a pesticide treatment over my turfgrass like Imidacloprid ,pyrethroids, carbaryl ?

Ticks have a two year three lives stages. The second stage the host is typically a rodent. Installing Owl nest boxes to check the rodent population is an important step in the control of ticks. North of the 40 degree latitude line Northern Saw-whet Owl boxes for forest areas to control the white footed forest mice that are highly infected with disease. After nesting season they move into southern Illinois. Screech Owl nest boxes could be used south of 40 degree latitude. Barn Owls like hunting over more open areas like no-till vole friendly habitat. There are fewer forests with trees with nesting cavities and wood barns. There are more metal machine buildings. Owls need safe nesting boxes. They will work for housing.

Outstanding video series. Regarding shagbark vs shellbark; don’t shellbark tend to hold onto their leaf rachis over the winter - much like Kentucky coffeetree - whereas shagbark drops theirs?

From Wisconsin, loved your video! Thanks a bunch for sharing your knowledge.

Is it legal to log Islands in the river's ?

Great work, very informative presentation. Thank you!

Nice Job!

Thank you very much, U of I. I feel quite fortunate that y’all are doing this for us.

Thank you very much. I have one of these in my yard and it has caused several seedlings to sprout up. I am wanting to transplant them to a more prosperous place, as they are too near to other trees to do well. This helps. Thank you.

very very nice, id love to see a large collection of these videos jejejej greetings from the countryside of chile

Would you be able to share the plans for building the manifold? Thanks

I am a Post Oak fan. That is one big Post Oak in the video!

Good presentation. Questions were good too.

Love this bite sized information about nature. Thank you

Very informative presentation, thank you. For the most part all I use any more is the battery powered reciprocating saw.

Do you guys have Ruellia up there? I find that to be a tricky look-alike, the leaves of the young plants at least. The flower would be an obvious distinction, of course.

Thank you. Good info. I agree with Rex.

Global trade, over the last 100 yrs has been responsible for the illness and death of many of our native plant and animal species. Most of it has come from Asia. The loss of our self sufficiency as a country and a continent has a direct correlation to these issues.

Lost a beautiful 70+ yr old Ash Tree in my front lawn in Chicago. The city unfortunately took it down. We've lost so many trees

As a disc golfer gotta say this is amazing information and I hope we can get awareness out. I haven't finished the video, but wondering how you feel about treating clothing with permethrin? If it is addressed I will understand.

Thanks for sharing, a real good presentation.

I recently bought 100 acres in central Illinois, what if any tree or shrub that is invasive would you recommend being a priority to remove?

There are lots of dead trees on the ground, what are you doing with does
