Native Plants of the Ft. Worth Prairie Region

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
  • Long-ass Video Alert :
    In the sweltering Central Texas heat of early October we examine a cast of species growing in the prairies of the Ft. Worth Region, notable for being where the Mesquite (#Prosopis glandulosa) - an extremely important tree ethnobotanically as well as ecologically - first begin to appear if headed West. We also see a few of the species that inhabit the dry limestone outcrops known for having a very thin topsoil, such as Silphium albiflorum, Hymenopappus tenuifolius, & Vernonia lindheimeri. What the hell is the difference between two closely related and similar looking DYCs (Dam Yellow Composites)? What is the 4' tall member of the Poinsettia Family that comes up alongside railroad tracks and Power line easements? This episode answers all those questions. Guest appearance by a fossil ammonite.

    Hell yeah you are finally doing my home town area of the DFW Metroplex! Feels enlightening to finally be told what all the native prairie plants are! Hope you return during the spring, the whole area explodes with colors.
    I am about to turn 37 next month, but when I was in 5th grade in 1995 or so, we had a thing at my school called The Texas Prairie Project. We restored 2 different sites close to my house with only native flora by hand spreading seeds. We got recognition from Nick News and my whole 5th grade at the school got to actually be on the show on Nickelodeon for a news story. I have been TRYING so long to find the video footage of it, but I can not. I believe it was filmed in late 95 through early 96. It was really great to know I personally had a hand in restoring the native prairie plants in my immediate back yard.

    not sure if anyone else here has said this, but the cacti up in north texas all look sad because we overcame a drought about 5 years ago. there was a terrible drought here for about 15 years, and for the past 5 years we've gotten a lot more rain. now all the cacti are rotting on the bottom

    • @davidgough3512
      @davidgough3512 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I've seen TX ranchers w flamethrowers burning thorns off cacti so their cattle could eat them in a drought. Meanwhile here in Florida, it's heads of cattle per acre, not acres per head. So our genius excuse for a culture converts the world's best grassfed paradise into housing tracts with sterile evaporative lagoons and no permeable surfaces.. a recipe for desertification, destroyed biodiversity and food shortage where forestry and grazing is the low impact, water retaining solution to no natural topsoil.

And i've had 2 children during my life time end up in a hospital quarantine. one was 2 or so weeks old, the other was about 3 years old. I do know what I'm talking about. BIO HAZARD is also where Hospitals put sharps/used needles and other human wastes. so who's collecting all these masks and making sure the virus doesn't contaminate further by waste products used by those of you masking up? where are you disposing of your BIO HAZARD Waste so your not spreading this deadly virus? just asking.

    multiple soil types in the DFW are... Blackland Prairie: dark black to light grey clays, Eastern Cross Timbers: sandy loam soil, Grand Prairie: clays: limestones, and some silty loams...

    There's a place I'd have recommended in east DFW, but it has since been infected with tract housing and open-air malls. (Who would build an open-air mall in DFW?)
    I long since escaped to the Bay Area, where at least the Diablos and the Santa Cruz Mtns discourage people from building tract housing literally everywhere.

    I love that you love the ragweed! I have read that Ambrosia artemisiifolia is a medicinal powerhouse and has soil remediation capabilities, particularly around heavy metals. Whenever I see the plant, Ambrosia artemisiifolia (I believe) grows all over in my southern Vermont area, I snip the blooms because I want to give the goldenrod a break. 😁

    Long time view, first time commenting.
    Are you going to find yourself in North East Texas near Commerce? My girlfriend and I just got a good chunk of land and I think you'll love the vision we have for it: Sustainable native agro-forestry with non-native-non-invasive perennial edibles. There are quite a few species here I'd love to hear your experience of and hear your critique of our Magnum Opus! Let me know if it's ok to email you more info.
    In any case, fuckin' love your work. I'll go fu*k myself now, lmao

    Really love the shit that'll come up in abandoned lots and such, plants with those adaptations give a little hint as to how the ecology of post-sapien cityscapes may evolve. Tough, weedy things that readily self seed and compete like hell in harsh nutrient poor urban areas

      @@davidgough3512 true, I've really enjoyed using native plants and fungi more over the past few years. Great way to help propagate the less common ones as well as long as you toss the seeds or spores and don't over harvest

      @@theflyingcrud Nice to hear that there are people engaging with the plants and fungi. What was once a universal human practice has become a relative rarity. Yet our usual forms of entertainment and livelihood seem drastically oversimplified compared to the humbling intricacies and wonders of nature. Keep up the foraging and seeding, maybe normalize it for others. I like to show kids, they may call it weird but secretly they can't help but respect it.. it engenders confidence and besides they ought to at least understand some species sting and some are dangerous.

    So interesting that the rosin weed and others are dormant when you shot this, even though it was 90 degrees and winter wasn't even close (if ft worth even gets winter idk)... there must be other seasonal factors besides cold that put the plant to sleep, maybe drought? I guess I always assumed perennial plants that live in the south just stay alive year round because they have no reason to go into dormancy to survive a winter!
