I've been watching a lot of these types of videos lately, and this one BY FAR is the BEST I've seen. You come across relaxed, personable and knowledgeable. I am a nursery professional, but learning to identify tall trees by their bark is something like remembering people by their faces; you need to get to know them. Thank you for being so helpful!
An Andrew classic! I'm studying bark ID while putting together a neighborhood tree survey, and was delighted (but not a bit surprised) to find an AA video on this subject Great instruction, Andrew
@@AdventureArchives Do the spicebush berries taste like black pepper to you? I've found the taste to be nearly identical and the aroma is pretty close too, just with an extra floral aspect.
We enjoyed your video very much, thank you. We recently acquired 20 acres of woods in Connecticut, and look forward to identifying our trees. We expect to tap a maple tomorrow!
The Red-bellied Woodpecker (and other sap suckers) make those horizontal holes in the tree. Thank you for the information. You do a good job of explaining things!
I’m from the south but have heard of all these trees. Great teaching video. You took plenty of time at each tree, the lighting and sound was great. Thanks.
Joe Robinet Bushcraft Thanks for watching, Joe! Love your videos, by the way. Everytime I watch one, I remind myself that I need to get around to buying an actual axe (as opposed to just a hatchet). --Andrew
I think KY and Ohio have very similar trees.I grew up in the Appalachia Mountains of Eastern KY. We used to swing on the grapevines when I was a kid. Once when we were swinging, the grapevine broke when my cousin was in mid air. It knocked the breath out of her and we all thought she was dying. Scared us half to death. When we see each other we laugh and remember swinging on the grapevines.
There's definitely a lot of similarities in the flora in KY and OH :) Wow, glad she was okay! I had was swinging on a grapevine with Thomas (who's in some of our videos) and I remember it snapped and broke while I was in the air too. Thankfully, it wasn't too bad of a drop :)
This is very well done. Your knowledge is admirable and most people viewing this video are completely unaware of how much work went into putting this together. (Camera on tripod in the woods as well as much editing afterwards). Thank you for this!
Thanks so much for the upload, I'm learning a lot..I've been a carpenter. on the east coast. for over 3 decades but... I never took time out to learn tree identification...I mean, I knew how to recognize oak and poplar and maple etc but; here in the philly area, as I am sure in many other areas, there is such a vast diversity of trees to study... You really know your stuff and it's very helpful...:)...Thanks again...
"If you wanted to you could probably make lots of bows from this" literally the most Napoleon Dynamite thing I've ever heard lol. Love the videos, cheers.
“Having real maple syrup that you tapped on your own is an amazing experience.” Great video. You can learn a lot from this fellow in 15 minutes. Give a watch.
Rick Rabies - Can't respond directly to your comment for some reason, but that's a good point, haha. This is in Central Ohio, but probably applies more or less to a good chunk of the midwest/eastern US. And haha, I get that a lot. I sit in the dirt too much I guess. I also have shorts with a big brown paint stain on them.
Love this video !!! Tons!!! I have watched it about ... 5 times so far .. and then when I go to my 19 acre woods .. I try to identify the trees .. I burn dead trees for winter heat . but .. I get frustrated that I can't remember everything .. ha !! so I was the video again !!! Thanks so much for a GREAT video !! Gary ( GD Tractor)
Great video!! I would like to address your description of Elm Bark ! Here in SW Pa ,I come across lots of Elm and 3 different species I see the most ,the Bark is not easy to push your fingernail into at all . Quite the opposite ,very hard bark . I have come across the very corky soft Elm Bark you speak of ,but not as frequently as the Other Elm I see . I cut firewood almost full time cleaning up down trees,standing dead trees ,and storm damage . I never realized how much Elm is in our area .It is quite a lot in Pa. Much of the Elm I see resembles red oak ,I call it faux Elm ,because it tricks me all the time .The biggest give away is the Rays of the end grain of cut Elm. They are the mist prominent rays I be ever seen on wood . Thanks for your videos ,would love to walk the woods with you ,maybe you could ID These Elms for me ! I think some of them ate Hybrids that took on different characteristics when they were trying to grow blight resistance Elm .
I'm studying ecosystem management in Ontario and the common name for ostrya virginiana is ironwood in Canada. I'm not sure if these sorts of things differ between countries & regions but I guess thats why latin names are important to know!
Nice video. Kinda an old video. Not sure how I missed it. Lately, I'm collecting samples of small dead branches from trees around here and exposing and oiling a few inches of the wood for a little collection. Like a lot of cities, my city touts itself as the city of trees, and there actually is an online map of what trees are planted in which neighborhoods, so I have access to a variety of different trees, some unusual. Also, when I was a kid living in Iowa, we lived on a big corner lot with a lot of huge pretty mature trees. The entire town was thick with big mature elm trees that looked like gorgeous archways in the winter when they were covered in snow and ice. Unfortunately, Dutch Elm disease wiped them almost entirely out. We also had several huge pin oak trees in the yard, and big bolts of lightning eventually wiped those out, too. That'll wake up a little kid in the middle of the night when the trees are right outside your bedroom windows.
Awesome video. Just what I was searching for. I can hardly wait to get to know the trees on my new land. I also hope to find maples for tapping this spring. I love how much you love these trees!!
I To watch you all the time then you disappeared for a while. It’s good to see you back. I have a lot of confidence in what you say that you believe you know well it sounds good to me. Hope you stay this time for a while. I know other things and I have no idea how long it takes to make one of the videos
I really enjoy this video you explain things pretty well and I learned a lot I'll definitely be coming back to your channel to see what else I can find
One interesting fact, trees in the deep woods will usually grow taller and straighter, because they have to compete for sunlight. This makes them more suitable for lumber. Trees at the base of a hill also tend to do better due to the water runoff and extra nutrients they receive.
Paul Weatherby Good to know! I figured trees in the forest grew straighter (Which I think makes it harder to ID them by shape?), but didn't know about them growing better at the bottom of a hill. Thanks for sharing! --Andrew
AdventureArchives Hehe. Ain't that the truth! How could they not with all of this wood?! I'm trying to learn how to identify different trees. :) Would you recommend any books that help? :)
Christie Keller Hmm, I haven't used it, but Audubon Society has a tree guide. I have their mushroom guide and like it well enough. But perhaps finding a simpler book for your local area would be a better way to start. I went to my state's (Ohio) department of natural resources website and they actually had a page with trees listed for Ohio: forestry.ohiodnr.gov/trees Haha, glad you like the video! --Andrew
Nice video. I'm doing a winter tree ID outing tomorrow in my community just randomly for whoever is interested. I'm in Southern Ontario, first Nations community
I know it has been done before, but I'd really like AA's take on making a bow out in the bush. There was enough talk in this video that I now want to see it happen, so if you can - make one!
+Tim Beaudet Sounds great! I have an American Elm log drying that I've been meaning to try and build a bow out of. I think I'm going to have to finally get around to that this summer, and film it all :) In the meantime, it's not quite what you're looking for, but here's a video of Robby and I shooting a crude bow I made out of a dead standing elm tree: th-cam.com/video/iNxhq2Kn0kk/w-d-xo.html Cheers! -Andrew
Awesome video. Really interesting. Never heard of MADB - maple ash dogwood buckeye have non alternating branches. We got some river birches over here in WV that have cool looking bark - so distinct. I don’t know that I have ever seen An ash tree.
I think MADBuck might be something specific to Ohio - but it's pretty applicable in nearby states as well, i'm sure. Yeah, Ash trees are rare to find these days I think, because the emerald ash borer killed lots of them. Thank you for watching! -Andrew
Thanks for the Vid. I enjoyed it. I wonder how come the different Maples and Oaks don't crossbreed and produce random results (those darnable bees!). Are they not genetically compatible?
+John R. McCommas Hmm, I have actually heard that lots of red maples and silver maples hybridize becuase they're genetically similar. And I know there are lots of different maple cultivars that i assume are created by cross breeding. But I'm not as sure about oaks. Thank you for watching! :) -Andrew
+AdventureArchives I believe Bur Oak and White Oak and Swamp White may produce hybrids I do see examples of Bur and White Oak tree's with slightly to heavily mixed characteristics. Red Maple and Silver maple may hybridize to produce Freeman's Maple or Acer xfreemanii. whether Black Maple and Sugar Maple hybridize I am unsure
Great video on trees, one of the best I've seen thus far on You Tube. I've found that no matter how much you learn, there is always another tree that you'll find and will stump you : P New discoveries in nature is never ending process. There is another great channel on here that will help you hone your skills, check out Don Leopold's playlist on Dendrology, it's a valuable resource. Keep up the good work!
ironDsteele Thanks so much! Glad you liked the video, and good to hear it's helpful. And that is very true. I was just hiking today and found a tree I didn't recognize. And I always have to keep practicing every winter or else I'll forget a lot of things. Thanks for sharing that playlist. The videos are really helpful and nice and quick to the point!
No problem, Don is the best in the business. If you get around to it, you should cover coniferous trees as well, Spruces really fool me from time to time. Be sure to check out my wild plant identification playlist on my channel, I think you will enjoy it!
Yeah, I was just thinking people who haven't had much experiencing IDing trees might get honeylocusts and really old maples potentially confused. At least the honeylocust cultivars that don't have those huge thorns in them, haha.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it. I'll consider posting these side vids to /r/hiking, though I sometimes worry they may think I'm spamming them. Thanks again! --Andrew
I have several snags in the area I'm in, and I'm attempting to use a bow drill. I need to identify the snags in order to make the best possible fireboard. Can I contact you using hangouts and send you pictures of the dead trees so that I'm able to use them?
Sorry, just saw this. Yup, that works! I will direct message you our google address and I'll do my best to ID them - no promises though, haha. Cheers! -Andrew
Very good video thanks for the detail and thanks for the comparison and thanks for the comments.

It's pretty cool - there were two great horned owls living in that forest, and one day I was walking through it and I came across an infantile one sitting on a log.
