Only saw these videos today; I've watched all four in this series, and am about to look at more of Patrick's content. What a fantastic teacher Patrick was (saddened to read in the comments of his death). He really makes his audience work, which helps us learn. I wish I could thank him for teaching me so much in such a short space of time.
I watched all 4 parts and found it very informative and interesting. Patrick did a very good job explaining how to identify trees. Articulate, to the point, and got me very excited about going out to trying id-ing trees on my own!
I thoroughly enjoyed the series - but greatly saddened to learn of Patrick's death a few years go. He died far too young. Off to look at his books now.
Nice Videos there. The bit at the end there was the most important, is how you get other people to identify trees them selves. Leaves bud,bark and twigs. you can feed a man for a day or give him the tools so he can feed himself for a lifetime. a good ident book and getting up close to the tree is the only way when you start out atb Craig
Wow! Great. You sell it so passionately too. You would be a good teacher. Well, you are teaching I guess. You ask a lot of questions, pauses in th right places. Keeps people switched on.
fantastic vid-great info @patrickwhitefield- MORE please!!!!!!!!! i live in Scotland and im confused by hybrid species alot around here. If you own a phone there is a good app by F.Commision for tree ID...goes through fruits,leaves,bark,twigs,shape of tree and so on.....and when you do know what you have is correct you can take a pic and mark the location. Fun and free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You talked about tree ecology a bit when you were talking about the Beech. Can you recommend any book that go into more details about British tree species?
I work on a wild flower garden and we have two sections each with a common Lime Tree growing and the leaves are full of greenfly and very sticky with 'honeydew'. The wild flowers do not grow beneath these two trees. Is there anything I can do so that they do grow. Is the honeydew 'acid' and so should I add clay or alkaline to the soil. I am not sure.

Thank you! Whats the oldest known coppiced tree then? Or can that be known?
Thank you.
A good one to start with is Oliver Rackham's 'Trees and Woodland in the British Landscape.
