Studying for the ISA certified Arborist exam and tree ID is not my strongest subject. But this video is helping a lot, especially after viewing it 3 times in the past 2 days. Thank you so much!
I’m sure there’s probably a more appropriate method for asking this, but I’m still going to try. In a condo-neighborhood just under 15 acres, 60 homes, a storm water retention pond with a paved walking path, landscaped yards, supposed sprinkler system and all of this surrounded on three sides by woods. I’m someone who loves the outdoors. I do everything but sleep outside. So I tend to notice things that other people either don’t see or don’t care. My question is related to the overall health of the shrubs, trees, some flowering plants, etc. . I don’t know where the line is between: 1. Healthy woodland area 2. Not bad but there are issues 3. A true environmentally based issue I’ve never seen such a wide array of plant life where I can’t find an established plant that doesn’t have some type of disease/fungus/mold and/or infestation of insects. It really stands out to me when I see kudzu that is struggling! You could use napalm on kudzu and normally it would simply say thank you! I know the neighborhood board has little care and no concern. But I’m becoming worried enough that there could be a true issue that is going to get out of hand and spread beyond the immediate area. I’d happily take suggestions/info if possible. I also realize this is just me asking for opinions, not specific direction. Your thoughts?
I might not understand you, but I think you’re saying that all the plants there are sick or not doing well, correct? It could be lots of different things, it’s probably a combination of things. There are so many variables that we can’t know. That said, transportation drags a lot of disease around, at all levels, honeysuckle from Asia covers my entire area, it’s healthy! But many other things aren’t, the honeysuckle actively changes the soil and that hurts stuck. There’s so many international invaders, but we still spread them locally too. Things like pathogens, we buy infected plants and bring in all kinds of eco disasters. But the weather is massive factor, there’s a million variables in just the weather. Are you new to the area? Have you tried looking for research online or anything? In general I think most plants aren’t doing great and many plant communities are in bad shape, it’s widespread and probably going to get worse.
My father could identify the type of ground, such as dry or flood by the trees. I wish that I had his knowledge. One example he would look at a tree and know I will die. One example is him knowing that the tree was hit by lightning and how strong the bolt was and told me that the tree will die too soon to try and save

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this. Simple yet detailed. enjoyable. Loved it!
Very helpful. It is so hard for us lay people to id trees.

Let’s bring back the oak tree!
