I have something like this growing around my pond. Just noticed the catlins today. I thought it was neat so I've only been thinning it especially on the longest run of the pond. However the bark is smooth and glossy and darker than the tree in this video. Have found much larger tree size with the same bark where the pond is fed. Also noticed on most of the cuttings the interior is an orangish color.
Only found this channel recently. I'm already a big fan! Love all the information and identification, but especially the ecological effects. Knowing what is or isn't beneficial to the local habitat is crucial. And being in southeastern Pa, it's cool to see and learn about the habitats I grew up in and around. I got into propagating a lot of plants over the last few years, but more and more it's been trees, which-- being in an apartment-- is not super sustainable. I really like the idea of introducing beneficial specimens to the places I hike. So if you have any more of these suggestions for (re)introducing species to certain areas and what they do for the local ecology, I can't wait to watch them.
Again, thank you so much for these videos! I have a stream bank that is eroding, would this work as a stabilizing tree? High deer presence do I was thinking that this would be a good choice . Also, nice to see Newt!
This is a great series of videos. Thank you from southern WV
We have some beautiful Black Alders where I live.
Alder, the tree that captures more trout spinners than any other.

Thank you; I'm glad they're useful! And you bet, smooth alder would be great for streambank stabilization!
You are very good at what you do on these videos.
Have you seen the channel New England Forests? Also has very
good content.
Thank you! And yes, their videos are great! I'm a subscriber!
