slapping my hands on the table i'm so happy to see there. i've lived here for ages but i can't get outside bc of mobility issues (hopefully changing soon!!) and i'm so delighted to finally get a good look at a national park, thank you for this!!
I was in Florida last year around Christmas and it was 28 degrees out when I woke up in Canaveral one morning. Took a walk looking for iguanas that were paralyzed from the cold but I couldn't find any. Kind of disappointing, as I wanted to eat some iguana.
Im originally from Chile and its interesting to see how much similarity the flora has with new Zealand and recognizing plant genera from the video by knowing the chilean relatives. Well kinda same with tasmania/aus and new caledonia to some extent but climatically nz is very similar to southern chile. Very interesting video thank you!
I thought it was only me ....go overseas or interstate and just look at the native plants. Thanks for bringing the enthusiasm Hi from western Australia
Cordyline - tī kōuka fibre is very useful. Traditionally used for clothing, footwear, shelter, baskets and rope-making. I've heard it's a longer-lasting fibre in salt-water than the harakeke (phormium/flax) so useful for fishing lines and nets. I've made ropes and baskets with it. It's commonly used here for garden ties and the dry leaves bundled to use as fire-starters too. Better than tangling up in lawn-mower blades. Coprosma foetidissima really is awful smelling! Did you manage to have a taste of horopito (Pseudowintera colorata)? I'm so happy you've had a chance to come and see our forests! And no, no accident lawyer industry here. All accidental injuries are fully covered and funded by the ACC scheme so there's none of that litigation.
the Pseudopanax at 9:23 is P. colensoi, the high-altitude cousin of P. arboreus. According to NZPCN: Pseudopanax colensoi is "often confused with Pseudopanax arboreus, which also has 5 leaflets, from this species it can be distinguished by its shorter petiolules (leaflet stalk) and the base of the leaflet gradually narrowing to petiolule"
Is always good to see this videos, beautiful habitat close to the Volcano, so many Coprosmas, Veronicas, Podocarpus,..., Halocarpus biformes😮, what is going on with that leafs? Why they are diferent, what is the goal?😮...for sure i will not be banned, ...i don t like to do ski or snowboard...what i like to do is the snowman😅
I grew up in this area (Tongariro National Park)! So trippy to see CPBBD here! Like a comment above- I definitely recommend Lake Rotoponamu! Additionally, I would recommend the Taranaki Falls track! There's quite a lot of plant diversity because this loop track takes place on varying altitudes on the mountainside- meaning you can see high and low alt forests as well as thick mountain tussocks and water plant species because of the streams and waterfalls throughout the track.
Man you would absolutely love this walk, (Enchanted Track is located in Egmont National Park near Stratford in the Taranaki region.) Welcome to NZ enjoy your stay.
Kia ora, hello and welcome to Aotearoa my friend! Last I saw you were out botanizing cacti in the Sonoran Desert and down past the wall into Mexico... Now here you are almost in my own backyard climbing volcanoes ha ha... Have fun brother watch out for those mountain parrots Enjoy your travels and peace be with you!
Nice to see that you managed to come here to NZ. As mentioned in the comment that I've left on your Huon Pine video, we have a lot of big and interesting Podocarps here in NZ. If you are still here and have some time you should visit the West Coast of the South Island. Or visit Peel Forest near Geraldine, which is one of my favourite places. Hope to see more NZ botany videos from you soon. Really impressed by your knowledge. It's also always a lot of fun to watch your videos. Wished I would have had a botany lecturer like you when I was a student.
Some moss do have a non-lignin vascular system that evolved separately from other plants. Typically found in tall moss their hydroids and leptoids carry out similar functions to phloem and xylem.
Some challenging landscape & cool adaptations. Nice to see stuff where it's supposed to be growing. Never knew so many Podocarps! What a beautiful tapestry, super different than anything I'm used to. Thanks for sharing with us Joey 😊
Wooo! Hope your going/went to the South Island too Joey. My favourite place in the world is lake roto iti in the Nelson lakes national park. Beautiful old northofagus solandri forest which is covered in a black mold on the trunks and smells so sweet due to the scale insects. Though of course you can see that type of beach forest all over in nz.
every time I'm in pain and the worls suck even more I binge your vids all day🙏 whole channel saved my life probably 500 times at least, can't wait until I can go out there again 💚💚💚 I'm putting this dude as my heir, don't get your hopes up I'm a broke mofo lol
A total banger of a video Tone ! One I'd be happy to buy and watch again & again. So many cool plants that I grow and many that I can only dream of growing. Those gleicheniales & that lycopod especially ! Somebody needs to provide some spores for us to try growing them here in Northern Europe !! You're a real treasure bro !!!
This is great - unhinged, but great. Love the enthusiasm... and this for my backyard. Really appreciate the use of botanical names and the connections you make to related species elsewhere. Best wishes from a cabin in a swamp in a rainforest in Taranaki.
The film company bought up nearly all the old carpet in NZ as they had to cover the ground so they didn’t damage the plants and landscape so you may be out of luck.
Ahh yeah, another banging episode, Joey! Tripping on the ecology there. Boy, I got some ptsd, seeing that New Zealand flax… had to remove 11 huge masses of the stuff, that was growing along some rich dude’s driveway, because the previous rich dude, had it put in for landscaping. Fk. Pampas grasses too. Double fk. Anyways, nice seeing Alan there with youz. Cheers, from Southern Oregon. 👍
If you're ever in NC my friend has a few acres of untouched rhododendrons and other native plants in the mountains near the blue ridge parkway you can look through. Very diverse foliage
Heh alot of awesome environment and plants. Also gave me perspective as Calluna vulgaris is a beloved plant where I live (Sweden) but in NZ it is invasive pest lol
It trips me out how quickly you learn the botany in a new country. Iv been learning and then forgetting the plants names here for 40 years. I learn so much from all your videos. I really hope you visit the South Island even though its cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. [20:52]. is Mysine nummularia it has conspicuous blue fruit.
youre missing the amount of research time he puts into prep for these trips, and also the time between cuts where hes looking things up or talking to any local experts he has with him off camera (hes riding in the passenger seat at 10:40 so hes definitley not out there filming this alone) to correctly ID a species so he can start filming and make it look hes just shooting all of this straight off the dome. Still very impressive but I wouldnt let his apparant mastery dishearten you, good editing does wonders for how impressive you can come across
Amazing forest, you can pretend you're back in the Cretaceous for a few hours. And yes, very few ambulance-chasing personal injury lawyers in NZ. Won't find any "This causes cancer in California" type labels on things, either. Accident and injury compensation works quite differently in NZ. Often you do things (like adventure sports) at your own risk. Americans _think_ they're free, but there are other ways of being free.
For one thing, you don’t have insurance companies that will weasel their way out of doing their one job if there’s any possible way to force someone else to pay.
I've just discovered you vids and I can say that I have never been so entertained whilst being educated. Do me a favour and swear just a little more, so that I can feel normal. Lol. Keep up the fantastic work!
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesntthe soil in this part of NZ is often very boron deficient but conifers look like this all over NZ on all different types of soils
Hey fyi the koru of the pounga tree is edible... the new spiral, unfolded, about 1/3 foot across.... If you come to Wellington I'll come for a walk with you if you want. You probably know way more about plants I see all the time, even though they're new to you.
The Southern Hemisphere, particularly NZ, AUS, and New Caledonia, has some interesting conifer species, most of which I've never seen before, not even as planted specimens at Kew Botanic Gardens here in England.
Thanks for mentioning lahars. Almost nobody talks about lahars when they’re a major volcanic hazard. Mt Saint Helens produced a nasty lahar, and Mt Rainier has the potential to cause huge ones, yet the word is barely known in the US.
10:20 I would never have thought that was asteraceae. 17:20 I would never have thought that was asteraceae either! 7:50 Does @weirdexplorer know about this one?
oh! we don't have personal injury attorneys here because we have national no-fault insurance provided by the state, it even covers visitors from overseas!
Bahnned from da lahdge, you got bahnned from da lahdge! Now that's going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. 😅 Are you telling me you never went to Wisconsin in your youth and got kicked out from da lahdge? 😅
Hi Joey, thanks mate. I'm a north islander living in Dunedin for 20 years now, and haven't managed to get back to Tongariro NP. The lower slopes are fairly similar to much of the stunning native flora we have in the lower South Island, but it's really lovely to see those beautiful upper slopes again. Those colors! Oh also, it's pronounced 'fuck-a-papa'. :) Enjoy, and kia ora.
Do you have a video that includes the "death apple"? I was in the Caribbean years ago and found a fruit tree on the beach. They smelled delicious. But having poisoned my self before I only touched the fruit to my tounge very slightly. 10 minutes later while swimming my throat got sore and it was clear the fruit was poisonous. Later a local told me it is called the death apple and that Columbus's men jumped off the boat in the 1400s and but into these fruit and died almost instantly.
Cordyline indivisa is actually a rare find in the bay area...its the C.australis that is everywhere especially in San Francisco..like a weed so easy to culture. I doubt there is a landscaper who will touch one. You know how horts are.
Hey what about that island with horses you're not supposed to visit... I'm really curious about everything except the horses... If you could pull that 😳🤯

"Banned from dah Lodge" is a penalty card in the CPBBD board game. Everyone wins in this game!
Thanks for the video!!
Reverse monopoly. You have to buy up all the land and make it public to keep the developers off.
really nice to see that level of enthusiasm from non-newzealanders. its very encouraging. keep up the good work
As a floridian how dare you apologize for insulting Florida.
I concur. We're always the butt of jokes or insults and I enjoy the wide variety of creativity used to describe our lawless swamp.
I was in Florida last year around Christmas and it was 28 degrees out when I woke up in Canaveral one morning. Took a walk looking for iguanas that were paralyzed from the cold but I couldn't find any. Kind of disappointing, as I wanted to eat some iguana.

Or was there one previously?

A botanist and comedian in an area that's watched obsessively by volcano enthusiasts, what a treat.

lake rotopounamu is in the area and a gorgeous walk, i believe could be virgin forest
I like comments like this. Comments that adds to the video. Liked.
Virgin forest? I doubt that. I'm sure something foreign has penetrated it.

Now I need to rewatch LOTR and look for all the podocarps while the fellowship run around Middle Earth/New Zealand.

So glad you're exploring New Zealand, enjoy your stay and hope we treat you well :D
Never seen a conifer with leaves that weren't needles. That's cool.
Nice to see you down here in New Zealand. I hope botany is starting to pay a little.

Interesting plants down in NZ! It would be great to be able to do some hiking down in NZ..... but in the summer!
Yep, Podocarpus nivalis is green year-round here at home in the UK.
can't wait for your etsy boutique
Beautiful country
“Banned from da lodge” is the hit song I needed stuck in my head today.
Can you go back to New Zealand so we can see what these plants look like during the summer months?
I've just discovered you vids and I can say that I have never been so entertained whilst being educated. Do me a favour and swear just a little more, so that I can feel normal. Lol. Keep up the fantastic work!
I love these videos for years! 🤘🏻
Hey welcome back to New Zealand :)
love from Cambridge New Zealand, liking the psilocybe videos.
Do you think the growth habit differences of the podocarps is due to the availability of certain nutrients in whatever soil it can find? 14:48
Seems unlikely. Volcanic soil is generally pretty good and not leached or lacking in nutrients.

Would love to see more dessert plants maybe somewhere in the Middle East or somewhere else you haven’t been to before
He does love the desert plants.

Glad to see you finally made it to the Misty Mountains.... I KID 😂
That mountain sounds like a Polynesian name. Wouldn't be surprised. Those people populated the entire ocean and all is islands it seems.
“I’m gunna leave you here,…” continues on, I’m not complaining!
Looks similar to Mount St. Helens.
Fun fact: While "botanize" would appear an informal neologism, the term is actually well over a century old. :)
