    I think it's a compliment to say you've made me interested in trees from more than just an artistic standpoint. I love drawing them just because of how complex they are, but now I can appreciate the physical aspects of them too! So... thanks? I think. Yay for trees

    Good stuff, I grew up in the Wharton Tract, Pine Barrens, South Jersey and became a forester.

    I spend a ton of my time on TH-cam, and without a doubt, this in my top 3 favorite TH-cam channels. Fantastic as always.

    Your stories are fantastic! I watch hundreds of hours of TH-cam videos every month and your channel has quickly become one of my favorites. I sure hope you are able to continue your video making for a long time. I don’t have a lot of money, but I’d love to be able to send you some gas money or something like that.

    Hey, man, just checking out the series. I love it. You should check out the pinchot sycamore in simsbury It's pretty impressive. It's a 105 feet tall, 28 feet around. Said to be around 300 years old and majestically placed on the bank of the Farmington river, it's pretty dope. There's also a really interesting black Oak A few miles away in granby It has the largest limbs of any tree in the state and it's Wild looking It's also a descendant of the infamous charter oak Love the videos, man, keep it up.

    Hey, my students were just studying what happens when brushfires result from droughts, so I played the end of this video, the amazing story of the heat activated pinecones, and they loved it! Good job, man.

    If tulip trees grow around there, which im not sure if they do, then you should look for a champion. They can be pretty huge.

    That was a really awesome looking tree I enjoy seeing pitch pines in the forest they are rare and I barely ever see any smaller pitch Pines here in Connecticut . I could look it up but how tall was that tree and what was the diameter on it. And just a suggestion Maybe you could do a video on old growth forest here in Connecticut or in Rhode Island. Thanks enjoyed this video quite a lot I love trees.

    • @DimeStoreAdventures
      @DimeStoreAdventures  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad you liked the video! The tree was last measured about 10 years ago and clocked in at 92 feet tall and 98 inches in circumference. Probably a bit bigger than that now.

    I think I’ve been mistaking these pitch pines for red pines, I’m right near the edge of the lower red pine range in Massachusetts but it looks like the furrows in the bark are a bit deeper and the bark is less flaky on the pitch! Awesome video!

    Cool find! I don’t know where in CT this is, but all the ones I find along the rocky ridge tops around Bristol are little more than scrub form. I think the tallest one I’ve seen was about 50’.

    I know of a very large Tulip Poplar in CT if you are interested in seeing it. I think it is 300 years old.

    I wonder where this isolated tree is, because this is a ridgetop shrubby tree over most of CT, with some isolated patches in sand barrens which are rare habitats. It would be interesting to see how pine barrensey this area is during the summer. Sad to think this tree is the last of his kind from a degraded barren that has long since been destroyed, developed, and grown over with WhitePine/Hemlock forst. It may have been the one pitch pine tree spared from the axe hundreds of years ago.

    can pitch pines and white pines hybridise?
