Lived in Joshua Tree for over 25years, moved away two years ago, this video made me home sick. Such Beautiful desert.
Your 25yrs were precious.
Whaaa
Idk how because that was one of the hottest places I’ve ever been and there’s a good amount of crazy people there like above normal from what I can tell... I stayed here there for like 4 days while traveling
I live in Tucson. We have creosote plenty. When it rains its hard to describe the aromatic scents that linger in the air. You just want to huff the air and breath it in.
Having lived in Arizona, l also remember that wonderful fragrance coming out of the desert. 👍😍🇺🇸
New Mexico also smells fantastic after rain. All that wild Sage, mesquite and piñon.
The Oregon desert smells like sagebrush and/or pine trees. Fresh pine, not like PineSol.
If it’s the same smell as railroad cross ties and the creosote used to treat them… It can be a wonderful smell… But it can also feel like it’s killing you if you work with Cutting cross ties and the dust it creates. It feels like it burns your lungs
I love the smell of creosote. And there used to be a cough syrup called Creomulsion that smelled and I think tasted like that smell. Back in the 1950's to 1960's.
The creosote bush is the indicator plant for the desert I live in (the Chihuahuan) …whenever I am out in the desert, I can’t help but crush a few creosote bush leaves in my hand..the fragrance is heavenly ..🌞
Creosote bush, is known by anyone who's driven in the the southwest desert, for never, ever to be driven over twice. It's branches are like, steel spikes, when broken. I was with the man who told me this, when he did it. Puncturing three of four tires. We had to hike out six miles, and over a dam covered in rattle snakes. (Deeply thankful, we weren't deeper in the desert.)
Am living in Mojave now, looking forward to cooler day's. Can't wait to get out and explore. I pick up broken branches, roots and rock's anything I might be able to make a grounding pieces or prayer staffs. Use wire wrapping for the stone's. Also a big bag for trash. Hahaha sorry got carried away. Thank You peace and blessings upon you and yours.
Successful mission! I am smarter today now than 20 mins ago. Knew about redwoods and the ashen. The "creosote bush" never even heard about till now thank you.
Thanks for watching!
No, you're not. This is a lie
@@Usernamenotabailable agree did you catch Europe was connected to Europe 11k ago
Old railroad ties were treated with creosote to keep bugs from eating the wood. That is why the area around old train tracks has that clean scent.
This bush was already old before human civilization even began! Absolutely impressive!!
The beginning of Human civilization keeps getting pushed back to older dates. This busht grew during the ice age, although the thick ice was much farther north. The oldest temple(?) at Gobekli Tepe in Turkey is close to the same age. I hope it will survive the damage humans are causing to the environment. It's time we stop doing what we do best- destroying things and start taking care of this big blue marble before it is too late.
The cave paintings in France are 45 thousand years old. Physically modern humans have been walking earth for at least 150 thousand and perhaps as much as 250-300 thousand years…
@@samsmom1491 I literally was going to comment on Gobebeki Tepi ! Glad there are others out there spreading the knowledge among those who don't know
I love plants and botany and everything of the sort.. I did not know this and it's probably one of the most incredibly interesting things I've learned...!
I used to live in the foothills area east of Folsom CA. The land was basically a desert until irrigation was introduced. I remember clearing part of the property we bought before we built our home. Had to clear the creosote bushes with a machete. We were burning the slash. As soon as a creosote bush was placed on the fire, it exploded into flames. Scary.
Yes.....lve noticed same thing....plants from the age of Dinosaurs.....probably volitle also
I just saw an episode of "what on earth" or something... The show was about rings of bushes in africa and they claimed,"science has no idea" or whatever. This guy explained it in five minutes.
Do you mean the "fairy circles"?
Underground termites stop the growth of those Areas.
This is different.
Just putting it out there
@@trashroscow4385 no it was exactly about circles of bushes like this video describes but.... "More mysterious"...;it's tv Whereas this video is educational.
@@blueunicornhere agreed
I remember David Attenborough talking about this very creosote bush decades ago. Good to see it's still thriving.
Wow
absolutely fascinating! your explanation of the timeline versus the ring dimension is astounding! great video!
High quality, tightly packed, golden nuggets content..
Bravo, thank you and keep it coming :)
Thanks!
nothing smells like this plant when the first rain falls. Amazing
Rhizome plants are super resilient and hard to kill. The black locust tree is an example and it will spread from roots underground just as fast as the seedlings sprout lmao.
“Get lost.” Love it❣️
Did you say you're standing in a bush in the Johnson Valley, LOL.
Can we get this comment to 69 likes?
@@RunDMS 69th like, no more likes plz
Beautiful. Nature shows us how amazing God is. The diversity of plants tells us how God is certainly not Boring. Glory to The Creator!
God? Wouldn't your mythical flood have wiped out these plants?
@@tavspop If olive trees survived the great flood, I'm sure other plant life did, as well.
@@carollyon4755 as ignorant a comment as there ever was
In the Sonoran Desert of Arizona the creosote bush is called grease weed, at least by us old-timers. When it rains in the desert, this plant renders a fragrance to the air of a most wonderful freshness.
I think once you have smelled the desert in the American SW, after a rain, you will probably never forget the smell of creosote.
That was well written. Nice and tight. Thanks for being respectful of my time.
The folks I’ve seen in the desert lately driving 4 wheel off road toys will end this magnificent organisms quest for life.
Who knew. Amazing. They should have a plaque or something bcz most people wouldn't know anything about where they were standing. Maybe even use it for kindling or drive over it.
Amazing
A great treat to see this area
Great video to see
Blessings

Thank you for the lesson! Very interesting. Liked and subscribed.
Interesting that so many ancient species are in or near the Mojave desert.
The Mojave has a lifetime of things to discover. It’s one of my very favorite places.
Just found your channel,great content.
Fascinating stuff! I so enjoy your travels
Wow that was incredible! Thank you!
Do the circles emulate Fibonacci numbers or fractal geometry
I’m so glad I found this channel, I was so blind to California’s natural history.
Absolutely jaw-dropping!
This is CRAZY ! THANKS for the info.
Unbelievable !
I’m glad that I found this video on my feed, I enjoyed it a lot. I subscribed thanks.
Happy to have you here! Thanks for watching
Nicely done ! Thanks !
Great little show !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done content. If you look at the concentric circles, with the a bifurcated point you are standing in, it points to the pass on the trail. Looking more closely it appears there were more plantings of this “ Creasote “ bush. We use the oils (I believe), here in the Midwest, to treat telephone poles and fence posts.
Amazing video great content
King Clone baby! So sick! Have always wanted to visit this place.
Ya, I grew up with them plants. Pretty amazing
The record for oldest living plant was the bristle come pine at about five thousand years. So have the science books now been updated with this new information yet.
In the video I delineate the difference between the bristlecone pine being the oldest individual plant specimen and make sure to describe the difference between that and a clonal organism like the King Clone which is continuously regenerative.
Absolutely amazing
Very cool, love your channel 👏🏼
Super great nature 🌾🙏📽️📽️📽️❤️🙏
the fact the you described yourself as a "slightly below average stature man" pure gold
Very interesting, good job. Thank you.
The largest Creosote is in 29 Palms. Well, largest I’ve ever seen. It’s absolutely massive. On private property. A significant percentage of those trees in that ring would fit in this on tree. Great video dude
I think I know where you are talking about, I've spent some time around 29 Palms. I believe those are individual bushes, vice the clonal type in the video, but if I'm thinking of the same place as you then yeah, those things are insane. A lot of them too. Though there's a chance they might be mesquite or some other plant.
@@MasonObscura …greetings. One tree/one plant. Located inside a Mobil Home park owned by my family. It’s beautiful. Houses many desert creatures even where it’s located. Cheers
I believe it. Thanks for the info!
Your channel is so good, and undersubscribed! Loved your video about Colma.
Awesome! Thank you!
I wonder if Fire burns the bush does it grow again from live root system?
I would say that the area has been able to avoid serious fires throughout its history despite the dry conditions, but the idea seems feasible that a clonal plant could retain the ability to regrow after any sort of destruction.
Yes...if anything fire will stimulate it to grow more
Thank you, very informative video on Cresote plant king clone n its circular evolutionin my back yard.
Steadfast investigation by person like you brings out very pioneering stories.
Jussojuan surender singal
Is this plant where the chemical for curing wood like railroad ties comes from?
That would be creosote oil, and is a term used for the tar derived from different types of coal production. There are also wood-based tars called creosote but those come from beechwood. I'm not sure how the creosote bush was named, but it may actually be the reverse, where it was named due to something related to the railroad creosote, though I'm not positive about that.
Spent time in the desert when I was younger helping my husband do research I know how important the plants and animals are in the desert and how slowly they recover I'm so worried about what's happening out there with the solar panels and fracking and other things I hope this is this site helps let people know how important they are
Lived traveling around the Black Rock, all Utah, Mohave and Sonoran deserts. Knew of creosote but not like this. Thankyou. (My friends here on the Washington Olympic Peninsula think I'm nuts to love the deserts. I was born in one- Eastern Washington. More room for us 😂
Awesome just awesome thankyou for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Fascinating.
Now I've learned something new today 😃
Sure, if you believe a lie.
Now i get why Monty Python named that exploding glutton Mr. Creosote.
Fascinating!
Fantastic video and knowledge. Thanks
Velley interesting.
As a good person I would like to lightly water these bushes. These ancient plants were there before the time of the biblical story of Adam and Eve. Amazing plants. If they could talk they could tell us some amazing stories.
That was really interesting and amazing thanks for the great video
Thanks Ron. I appreciate that.
Great vid great enthusiasm. Not to quibble but there actually was a very advanced human culture (Clovis) in North America prior to the end of the Ice Age. It was destroyed along with the majority of the NA megafauna by comet impact 12800 years ago on the NA glacial ice cap. Another comet strike ( from the same Taurid meteor belt) approximately 1188-11600 years ago in the ocean caused the massive ice sheets to collapse. Torrential rains drenched the earth for a thousand years. This amazing creosote managed to sprout after these incredible environmental catastrophes and flourish.
Wow, mind blowing to think about.
It was definitely thought provoking how these things almost hide in plain sight.
That bush really puts human existence into perspective........
No, it puts this man's lie into perspective.
The creosote plant is used by the Navajo as a medicinal plant. It’s very sacred to them. They don’t over harvest either. The medicine they make really works. That’s all I can say. It’s a secret.
I live in Tucson, it carpets the ground here...
Here I was thinking I am weird for always liking the scent of the greasewood bush especially after a West Texas desert rain. Indescribable smell.
What does it smell like?
Its amazing that your mic occasionally picks up the sound of the drone flying. I bet there is an older one but most wont be told where it is to protect it from idiot humans
I sure pray that the wild fire's of northern California doesn't destroy this wonderful old plant. 🤞😎
I live hear.. good show...
Thanks!
Took my kids there a few weeks ago
Love it, keep doing these vids man
Appreciate the support!
Yeah really good videos I’m surprised you don’t have more followers already tbh it’s high quality
@@ryancoco5562 Thanks! The numbers are steadily growing.
Makes you feel so trivial Sad to say that we are responsible for the destruction of this beautiful planet...
I believe a clone is a separate plant. The Bush is the same plant unless someone has cut it apart from the remaining plant . I don't think that is the case .
Cool story bro
Very oily. If I'm not mistaken Indians would take a handful of it a squeeze it and inhale through their nose to help clear their sinuses when having a cold
Amazing
We were building cities when that sprouted. Recent finds like gelekatepe and others add at least 5-7000 years onto human civilization
I see a lot of brush, plants like this -grow in rings. the inside dies in the outside Still Remains. I can spot the Rings I look for them all the time the desert looks burnt yes I know it's supposed to be dry but it just looks burnt I also know the soil has been dying for a long time well for the last 20 years keep track of a lot of things
incredible. so this beats the bristle cone pine of the sierras...
How do you even find all these cool to tell us about? Fascinating!
That's my job. Thanks for the support!
I thought we were looking at a close up of weeds. Then he starts walking. Now I can't unsee it or see him as anything other than an ant. Hi Ant-Man.
Hey
There’s thousands here Daggett California south side of the I40 34705 Pendleton road Daggett 92327 Rusty Empire
Some people said world is 6-10 thousand years old! 😹. That bush is much older than most of the gods 🤣
why was this an youtube ad?
Dude...awsome.
Thanks!
Had no idea, wow.....😳
Does this prove that the desert formed 11700 years ago? Did a queen bush land there after the waters receded?
Nice video!
Thanks!
Very cool ! Thank you:)🌿
Very Interesting.. I'm impressed with your knowledge.
Thank you!
I thought Brislecone's were old. Erect a fence before some dude runs over it with a atv
It was ALSO 11,000 years prior to the arrival of: Mr. Creosote !
"I'll have the lot."
@@MasonObscura That part was played by The Late Great Terry Jones
R.I.P.
Great show
Thanks!
Subscribed after seeing my first video of his.
Props to having done this all in 1 take. Consider me a sub!
Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Wonder how long it will take for tourists to pick it clean?
What would happen if someone took a water truck out there and spinkled it for a while? I guess it would grow further but then die off if too much growth in one area.
For the people that don't know about the bushes is there anywhere new to me I live right next to Johnson valley and Lucerne valley
Nice theory.
Great job.
Thanks!
