    Love how you explained they prefer areas that resemble climates to the north. It explains why hemlock forests resemble those northern transitional forests we see further up in Maine more closely than forests dominated by other trees.

    Thank you! Now I know the name of the tree in my yard with the little cute cones. Birds seem to love it. In Massachusetts

    We have two mature Eastern Hemlocks in our backyard, same size as you show in the old growth forest. I call them the guardians of our home! Thanks for the info ☮️

    I live your videos! I am in Michigan, a hiker and want to know more about what I am looking at all the time. Don’t want to say, “trees all look alike” anymore! Slowly I am learning more characteristics and learning to identify trees on my walks and hikes. Your videos help! 👍

    I've looked at online resources, but the scientific terms are intimidating, thank you for showing what the terms mean, and a close look at a beautiful tree!

    Brilliant video! I'm currently doing a school project where I have to find every conifer family in my area. Hemlock is my final target and this has served as a good primer

    Thank you for producing the single most informative and concise source of information on the Eastern Hemlock that I have been able to find. I've launched a photography book project this year with its goal of being able to document as many aspects of the old-growth forests we have here in the NorthEast with a concentration on both Eastern Hemlock and White Pines that we still have and sources of information like this are hugely important in my understanding of the topic. Thanks !

    I know these very well now, and it's neat to see so many of them around most of my jobs in the country. Wood essential oils is what made me suddenly become a tree 'expert'. I definitely have a new found appreciation for trees and I love the aroma of this one right here.. probably my favorite.

    Excellent presentation! You did not mention one aspect of the hemlock preference for riparian sites: the shade they provide cools brooks and streams. Cooler water is necessary for fish species like trout. The uprooted trees also provide structure in the stream for fish and invertebrate habitat. Thanks for the video!

      That's an important point to make! We like to say that trout grow on trees :)

    My home is on the north slope of a glacial moraine in Northern Michigan, about a half mile from the Lake Michigan shore. Hemlocks proliferate here, with spring fed creeks running off the bowl around our 10,000 acre inland lake, Crystal Lake. You perfectly describe all of the characteristics of the tree that surrounds my home. The birds love them, but they totally poison the soil and prevent any competition, including ferns, wildflowers and native birch & maple from growing. Great video. This is wonderful entertainment for a woods nerd like myself.

    Thank you for all you do educating! We have a wood stand that has not been cut since the early 1930s in north east Michigan. Your videos have been vital in help me know what
    we have growing!

    very nice, a recent visit to Brandywine Falls made me wonder what the tall conifers were around the rocky slopes, next time I'll know what to look for to confirm they are Hemlock

    Before modern laminated scaffold boards were developed, we use exclusively hemlock scaffold boards because there's stiff. Pine is really springy we use those before there was that plywood which is what we use now.

    Love your videos. Saw a discussion on the TH-cam New England Forests channel about the value of Tannins . Thought to be very good for the brain and so, beneficial to us as we walk through the forests. Also saw a TH-cam channel presentation about the hemlocks at the Heart's Content (?) grove that indicated that the DCNR has been able to protect the old growth stand there from the invasive insect you mentioned. Thanks again for your videos, Very informative and fun to watch.

    If your viewers like conifers, check out the American Conifer Society, for like minded tree lovers. Your videos are great, your presentations so appreciated and I personally love your presentation style. Only thing better would be to talk in person. Stay well and remain positive.

      At about 5 minutes the camera pans down that tree and I first thought it was a Persimmon... then thought Nyssa. Interesting Bark.

    I live in northern KY, I would like to plant some Eastern hemlock in a area that looks much like where you are standing, It is a wooded area with a creek but I have no evergreens. I have a lot of deer will they eat the seedling?

    • @forestsforthebay4784
      @forestsforthebay4784  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Deer sure do love to nibble on hemlock!! I'd recommend building cages out of chicken wire to protect the seedlings until they are out of reach of the deer.
