Longleaf Pines of Southeast Texas
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ต.ค. 2020
- In Jasper County, Texas we encounter one of the most diverse habitats in the South, consisting of a sandy forest of Longleaf Pine, Pinus patula adjacent to a soggy bottomland with 3 different kinds of carnivorous plants, including pitcher plants (#Sarracenia alata) on it and a #mycoheterotrophic plant (#Apteria aphylla) that's barely noticeable in the shadowy understory in which it grows.
Later, we end up a few miles away on a dry, rocky sandstone glade to see a succulent member of the bitterroot family, #Montiaceae.
Thanks to my friend Adam Black for assistance in production.

This is my local ecosystem! I can't tell you how happy I am to see you talking about all the plants i grew up with.

I cannot overstate how absolutely phenomenal this guy is.
Also, if you get a bad urushiol rash, try this:
- apply warm compress to rash to affected area to open pores (1-2 min)
- apply rag soaked in vinegar to rash. Let sit about 10 minutes.
- wash with cold water and soap.
I've found that this method of self-pickling helps shorten the duration and diminish the intensity of the rash. And always wash with cold soap and water after possible exposure to minimize the allergic reaction.
Absolutely mandatory to experience a nice relaxing shower with a sumac rash. Should be on everyone’s bucket list. Friendly reminder to not pee in the woods unless you’re sure your hands are clean.
I shower post-Toxicidendron with an entire tube of cheap toothpaste, like dollar store Colgate, as body wash. Hydrated silica, Sodium lauryl sulfate and mint oils seem to eradicate urushiol
Hey man I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to leave my desk job and become an arborist
He has inspired me too. Just got to get off my arse!
I was today years old when I realized you’re saying “basal leaves” instead of “basil leaves”. I’ve always thought they never looked like basil when you said it...
John Joyce...
Not on,y was he mentioning his basil leaves but he was probably prostate to look at them, right?
ba-dumph! 😂
I've been waiting for a Longleaf Savanna video by you for absolutely ever. Fun fact when the Longleaf Alliance was formed in 1995 there was only 3 Million acres of Longleaf ecosystem left of an original 90+ Million. Today there is that much in Florida alone
I lived in west Louisiana for about 10 years, same latitude as Jasper county. Cool to see so many familiar plants! Over where I used to live they would do controlled burns through the longleaf forests every so often to keep things healthy.
Ya, I had 5 old long leaf pines in my front yard . Really beautiful until Hurricane Sally came through Foley, Alabama and they all fell on my house. It was unexpected but we had 10 days of rain soaking the sandy clay soil and the strong hurricane winds took them down. Scary stuff! We are slowly rebuilding. Their rings showed that they were approximately 70 years old.
Aw man- if you’re ever back out in Mississippi, the Crosby arboretum has a wonderful setup- we actually did controlled burns for the pines, and for the next few years you’d have pitcher plants and a slowly evolving ecosystem. Love this video, the pine belt in MS (and the native focused Crosby arboretum) are what got me into conservation and ecology- beyond consuming nature and into participating
There's also been a lot of longleaf habitat restoration through the Coastal Plain of North Carolina, and into the Sandhills. There is nothing more beautiful than a proper longleaf savanna in full-bloom, particularly when all the wiregrass blooms after a burn. So, so amazing. The gentians _(Gentiana autumnalis)_ just finished blooming, and it is the absolute, most gorgeous flower on the planet.
@@jospinner1183 the sandhills are fucking great, I hunt out there and most of the time end up just walking around looking at all the amazing plants
@@BeetleBuns The Sandhills Game Land is just the best!
We were there right after you. Just spent the last ten days with my conservation crew working with NPS there - worked on the two t trails you look like you were on and off too. I feel like I know exactly where you were at for some of those shots and plants. Thanks for not blowing up spots with specific locations. Great time to be out - lots of great mycelial activity rn
I'm glad he didn't because carnivorous plant fans are notorious poachers. They like "location plants," plants that are identified by the location they're from, and they pay a pretty penny for them. I have a Sarracenia that is on the CITES white list, but it wasn't poached. It was a seedling given to me by a professor at a university who was studying them, and he was properly licensed and vetted by the Gov't. It's illegal to buy, sell or trade them, but you can give them away, and he had extras. I also have a few others that are more common. I bought them from reputable breeders, and they aren't 'location' plants.
@@aprilkurtz1589 wow, what a gift. Really cool plants.
“These massive orb weavers are everywhere.” As a Texan I can tell you horror stories about those spiders being literally EVERYWHERE lol
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I want to try out some of those needles!! I just started learning how to make pine needle baskets and I’m obsessed with this new craft. Every long needle tree has different colors and textures to play with. 😍
Thanks for making a video on this part of Texas. I grew up playing in the piney woods of Liberty County near there in the Big Thicket. Wonderful memories of that area.
Thanks for watching. This is an incredible area.
I would love to see a movie on the Pine Barrens here in New Jersey.
This content is both fascinating AND entertaining.
Well done sir.😁
Yes!! I also want to see botany/ecology content for the North East, preferably NJ
the Pine Barrens is the only portion of New Jersey I would visit voluntarily.
This habitat is so similar to our NJ pine barrens:pitcher plants, lycopodium and our very own pitch pines
@@superdupergrover9857 Go to Stokes Forest or the karsty White Lake in Sussex County
As a graduating forest management student, the longleaf-wiregrass forestland is my favorite to study the management and restoration of.
good for you! Please come to NC and work in our long leaf forests down in the sandhills. The turkeys and fox squirrels need more long leafs
LOVE this guy and love my longleaf pines. Many thanks.
Southeast Virginia reporting in: We have a bunch of Long Leaf Pine stands botanists and local groups are trying to restore here. Especially around Suffolk (Norfolk adjacent) and Newport News is beginning to do the same. Great content!
I love longleaf pines! The drive down to Florida was made less miserable by the fluffy looking, bright green trees. They’re so cute in their bottle brush stage.
I didn’t know bladderworts lived that close to pitcher plants. The bladderworts I’ve encountered in Wisconsin are huge underwater plants that have so many bladders they look like leaves, and they tend to like the water a little deeper.
Dude, I’m down here with a crew of Arborists doing disaster relief for lake Charles! This is so neat because we were wondering about the holly trees just the other day. We are actually hauling debris 30 min from Jasper off highway 190. We try to watch every morning the reception isn’t shitty. Seen lots of hogs, a road runner and tons of nutrias.
I’m happy you see Texas for the Magnificence it is! Thank you. I love my home too! ♥️🇨🇱
well, you're just down the street from me. i'm in fredtown, in an airstream behind the valero by the heb. c'mere and i'll make tamale soup. thanks for all the videos. i enjoy them so much. love to feed ya...
in a soup pot, dump full cans of corn, carrots, whatever kind of beans you like, a big can of ro-tel green chilis and tomatoes, and, chili con carne. heat well while you slice a dozen tamales in thirds or quarters and add 'em. serve with fritos and or quesadillas. mmmmhmmm Peace
best easy peanut butter cookies - mix well a cup of sugar with an egg. stir in a cup of peanut butter. (and m&ms or chips) drop or roll. 10 min @ 350 til golden. let cool on cookie sheet. yum Peace
@Oliver Eales It's a hilarious viral video. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a watch.

Don’t blow da spot
Joined Patreon! You take me to places I would never dream of going, have broadened my horizons, and made me learn shit. Thank you.
I love longleaf pines, I've seen them in the wild in North Carolina, when I took a trip out to some carnivorous plant habitat in a nature preserve.
They're all over the Coastal Plain! we even have them down in South Florida
Watching this with captions is a blast!
They actually get a surprising amount of Latin right, but also the translations that they miss are absolutely laughable.
It adds a whole nuther level of humor to this.
Great episode!
Those really are beautiful trees. I love the videos from around the world but the videos from north America drive home how awesome the ecology and botany of the continent we live on is. Thanks for always bringing us along!
You’re in my neck of the woods there. Texas loves you! I must say, as far as I’m concerned, top of the list of “horticultural atrocities” is that sweet gum tree.
Spent many years in Southeast Texas - so cool to learn about the botany back there!
I just recently moved out of Florida but one year while down there I planted 12 Longleaf Pines around some water restoration land that I was monitoring (These went up on the sandhill near the pond, so not too wet, not too dry) After 4 years I lost access to that property but they were still in the bunchgrass phase last I saw them, which was pretty good because at least they were not dead and stuff. Wonder how they are doing now.
But yeah, you should check out the Florida Native Plant Society (of which I was a member). The different chapters usually put on some really great native plant sales, so worth the trip.
I love this man
I love this one. I'm from the east Texas area and this footage of a beautiful wooded landscape puts me at ease. Great shit.
This episode makes me want to go outside and explore for sure.
Same ecosystem, different state! Crazy to hear you talk about familiar plants for once
Finally a guy talking about plants that doesn’t make me want to fucking cringe.
I sympathize.
I live in The Woodlands. Can't wait to watch this one.
Thank you very much for taking us to this really wonderful interesting place and sharing the knowledge you have of it.
Damn, guess I gotta learn to live with spiders if I'm going to be out looking at plants
Omg the way your dog was taking a piss was hilarious :)
Love those baygalls and bogs in the longleaf woods... :)
As a Georgia native it’s nice to see him showcasing the wonderful floral diversity we have in the southeast. Longleaf pine wire grass savannas are my favorite ecosystem by far
That Eupatorium at the end was so beautiful!!
C'mon, do a video on fire adapted plants! Local grandpas here in Northern California are getting triggered when I tell them the fires are not actually the end of the ecosystem!
True, the ecosystem is adapted to fire. But fire suppression and climate change as well as an extremely heavy human presence (thus multiple ignition sources) are causing fires of a degree the ecosystem is not used to at interval frequencies the landscape is not used to.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt definitely true, but I'm seeing lots of "the earth is scorched so nothing will ever grow or live there again, no wildlife will ever return" and am concerned that belief will lead to more awful suburbs developed in the wildland interface.
@@FayeVert yeah that's more evidence of how disconnected we are as a society from natural cycles. I'm hoping to do a video on this in the spring...
@Hppy Cmpr yes, scarification being one form for regeneration. We have an orchid which lays dormant until controlled burn. Plus much more.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt please do connect with Rebecca Burgess of Fibershed in Cal. THEY are showing the true perm of planet.
That's a different looking Liatris! Very cool.
Very enjoyable. Thank you for the tour.
October is the magic time A rainbow visits our Jersey state vine. Yellows, green, red and purples too Poison ivy will tantalize you!
Dude your awesome! I. So glad a friend recommended your channel ! Thank you for all the knowledge much appreciated 🙏🌱💚
I do love the outdoors too pal. And the Long Leaf Pine savannahs are my favorite ecosystems in the Spring of the year. No telling what you might see.
It brings a guilty pedantic smile to my face that among all the highly technical plant part naming there's a fairly (though quite common) inaccurate reference to human lady parts.
This is my local ecosystem in south Mississippi! I love going out to the long leaf pine forests.
SOuthern Georgia looks like this. In fact, Bartram described this ecosystem hundreds of years ago when he traveled through SE Georgia.
Thanks Man
Here at under 1K, I SO enjoy these...
Thank You !
Thats my home county fam. Hope you enjoyed the catfish. Tasty catfish down there.
I grew up in Florida so I'm more familiar with the Sandhill environments but it's so nice hearing you talk about plants I'm familiar with! Erythrina is one of my favorite Florida natives.
Tip for growing from seeds: I've found lightly cracking the seeds allows water to enter and the plant to sprout.
I gave some to my dad and they lay dormant for 4 months in soil but he took them out, cracked them, and they sprouted in a week.
What did he crack them with and how'd he do it without damaging the cotyledons?
Awesome to see you botanizing in my area, Tony! I helped with rare plant surveys in western Louisiana, so a lot of the plants you covered have a special place in my heart. Love your videos, and keep up the great work!
Smarter Every Day did a nice video about these pine forests and the animals they support, and the people who are working to preserve them. The gopher tortoise is an indicator species.
Phylotactic Spiral is the name of my new smooth jazz band. I actually do grow native plants in my front and back yard. I have to have landscapers come next spring because the Monardas have gotten completely out of hand and out competed the other native plants I had.
thank you
Thanks Joey
Long leaf pine - the pine that built the south! A great video on a very important but endangered ecosystem!
"Georgia O'keeffe couldn't have done it justice" 😂 This is the best botany video I've ever seen.
My whole life and I never knew pitcher plants were native to where I grew up!
Edit: Also spiders like that one on the water traumatized me as a child 😂
The southeastern American Indians made black drink out of Ilex vomitoria. It was used as a purgative in ceremonies.
Whether or not Ilex vomitoria was the constituent plant which causes vomiting is contended. Taken on its own in moderate amounts, it doesn't seem to cause nausea or vomiting in contemporary practice. I actually have a botanist friend who drank a tea made from the leaves out of curiosity toward its caffeine content and he experienced no ill effects.
At least that is my understanding of it anyways. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
@@DaimyoD0 I think they drank large quantities.
@@robertmcmanus636 yeah you're probably right. That's what wikipedia says anyway. Personally I think drinking enough dandelion tea could probably make me throw up, some plants are just _so_ bitter. At any rate I can't imagine what it feels like to drink enough of something with caffeine and theobromine in it to make yourself sick. Sounds like an anxiety attack lol
Love the tea . Grew up hearing that it was eating the berries that made one puke.
Thanks for the bog survey! Awesome to see so many CPs in situ... keep it coming!
HENRY WINKLERI's lookin pretty good!!! EYYYYY!!!!!!!
My local ecosystem and my favorite ecosystem! Love it! Fire dependency is amazing to me!
thanks for sharing
Nice to see you cover my part of Texas.
That eup and your camera triggered a pleasant flashback! Thank you for the awesome service
I love your tours through nature, Buddy
Welcome to our wonderful corner of Texas, and greetings to Adam Black.
What a stunning environment . Doubt I'll ever see it , but appreciate you showing it to us . Thank you
I'm in GA right now, we're experiencing a population boom of the Joro spider, looks very similar to the Orb but has red spots under the thorax and a golden colored silk
Love these vids bro, I learn something new every time
your the best. 😀
Hour away great to have ya.
What a great video, you get extra bonus points from me for showing and talking about BladderWorts and of course one of my favorite plants Sundews
Guy: How did you get so fuzzy?
spider: I got it from my momma
Thanks for coming out this way. I ride through the Angelina National Forest all the time. It's a pretty cool place out here. Lot of cool plants and wildlife.
Amazing pines :)
Hell yeah Thursday just got way better.
Pretty cool to see you in my hometown area, I recognize everything you are seeing.
Loved this one!
"Tacky heinous shit" !! Haaaa... I love it. So true. LA House Flipper [lispy-douche voice]: ..."Lets do a bunch of Pampas grasses along the back fence with Iceplant on the slope below that, and Lantana along the top of the retaining wall... and, let's see... We'll put a row of Scotch broom along the side of the garage, and ooh, lets do Oleanders and Privets along the side fence. Then Ivy goes around the chimney base - obviously... and I think Heavenly Bamboo with Feathergrass and Fountaingrass would look nice in the side yard planters. We can put a couple Hydrangeas on the North side of the house, with Calla Lilies and Periwinkle in front of those... We have to plant Cannas and Agapanthus and Daylilies around the pool, cuz they won't make a mess... Oh and some Lavender and Mullein for the kitchen herb garden.... OMG, we must put a pink Bougainvillea on the front trellis! And I know Creeping Jenny mixed with purple Petunias would look lovely in the hanging baskets on the deck. There's already a Boxwood hedge along the front walk, but we need a climber or two for the arbor- how about Star Jasmine and Clematis? or maybe Wisteria and Morning Glory? IDK... but for sure white Daisies and orange Tulips will go around the mailbox, and I definitely want red Rosebush standards along the white picket fence... and what else? ...I want a Japanese maple here, and a Crape Myrtle tree there, and a row of Italian Cypresses somewhere... maybe a Palm tree? To make it feel more tropical, you know? Would a palm tree be too much out front? Fine, put a couple palm trees behind the pool chairs in the backyard! And what else? uhh...hmmmm.... Everything else can be lawn! Let's head to Home Depot!" No. Kill me.
Ugh pampas grass is so invasive planting it should be a crime
Thanks for this! I'm always struggling with pine familiarity and was hungry for some longleaf pine tutorial.
Top notch vid!!!
Welcome to the Piney Woods... please stay awhile. There’s a Girl Scout camp in the region that may show more native plants also!

The way it’s legs are leaving those egg shaped displacement depressions ......
Cool.
That is cool. I totally missed that. I was too busy cracking up watching him caress the spider's leg 😄
Longleaf pine is the most botanically diverse habitat in the United States. Endless possibilities for exploration. Maybe you just need to take a propane torch to the longleaf you planted in oakland, they won't shoot up without a good burn :D
This is my home ecosystem. I grew up down the road in Tyler County East Texas. I miss 'dose pines.
I hope that area is protected somehow...wonderful tour! thank-you.
a sight for sore ears - the sulty tones of CPBBD!
"You can almost see--
*rips*
-Oh shit I just ripped it."
I like your way of speech and teaching. You may appeal to young 'tough' teens with your language!
i grew up not far from there and have been there many times. never knew it has such diverse flora.
I am learning so much from these vids. Thank you and I guess you would feel better if I say it, sooo gfy
Yeah, October is spider season! Enjoy the leggy bois out there looking to lay some palp!
Thats my neck of the woods! So cool
Thought you might been on the GA-SC coastal area with these pines. Cool vid 😎
If they did a burn now that would clear out most of the gum trees for next year. I've learned the answers to most problems in ecosystems here in the U.S is to burn it, to clear out the underbrush and crap built up on the ground, and do that at a frequency between 2-10 years depending on the type of vegetation in the area
Been looking for that Keel all my life.
