Watching from USA not the one you are thinking of but Upper Shimla Area (USA) Himachal (Himalaya) India one Your video is very informative some species sound familiar to us at home Tree species which are common in our areas we see daily *Taxus wallichiana (Rakhal/ Himalayan yew) *Pinus wallichaina (Kail/ blue pine) *Pinus roxburghii (Chil/ longleaf Indian pine) *Cedrus deodara (Deodar/ Himalayan cedar) *Abies spectabilis (Tosh/ Himalayan fir) *Picea smithiana (Rai/ Himalayan spruce) *Ulmus wallichiana (Marun/ Himalayan Elm ) *Alnus nitida (Kunish/ Himalayan Alder ) * Quercus leucotrichophora (Ban/ Oak tree) * Quercus floribunda (Moru/Oak tree)
@@WoodlandClassroom you are most welcome 🙏🏾 I have a question regarding oak tree In my State Himachal all the oak tree species (three i know) are evergreen trees but I have seen oak tree forest in uk in videos which has no leaf in winter is it true if yes Are all oak tree species are like that there if yes Is it because of harsher winter …! Thank you
This is great but I got proper confused when you said Rowan leaves are alternate. They grow opposite surely? They look opposite in the pics. Was that just a mistake on your part or am I missing something? Thanks for this vid though. Great info 👍🏼
I think I know what you're referring to. The leaflets of the Rowan, which make up the leaf, are in opposite pairs, with a terminal leaflet. However the whole leaf is arranged alternately on the branch, Look where it it joined ti the twig. Compare this to Ash. Thanks for allowing me to clear that up. If you've asked the question, i'm sure other people are thinking it too.
@@WoodlandClassroom I had this confusion. If you look at 37:00 you can see another whole leaf growing opposite the whole leaf, one of the right hand side of the branch, one of the left hand side of the branch. So not even talking about the leaflets, in the image at 37 minutes those leaves definitely look opposite and not alternate as far as I can tell. When I've Google image searched all the drawn illustrations show them growing alternately but many of the actual photographs show the opposite growth we can see in the video in your image.
English Wallnut? No mention I am interested because I have a plot of land, and I am about to plant 6 of these on it. Also, 4 oaks, 2 sycamore. And a couple of others, horse chestnut.
Walnut is not a native species. But they do grow well here, though the fruiting isn't always as reliable as warmer climes. Good luck with your planting
Thank you for the video, superbly helpful and great presentation. I'm only just getting into this world and realising how much I've neglected the last 30 years!
I am very late to this, due to this languishing in my watch later list. What an error! This video is a fantastic resource. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Melanie, no problem. I'm glad you got around to watching it and found it useful. If you liked the quality of what's taught here we have a whole online tree identification course that you can check out. There's even a free mini course. Find out more here: woodlandclassroom.lpages.co/the-complete-tree-id-course/ Let me know if you have any tree questions - James
This is an interesting question. I have heard this spoken about diamond shaped fissures on the bark but have not seen it clearly enough yet to use it as a defining feature so I don't teach it currently. That may change in time though.
@@WoodlandClassroomLiterally all from the list, except the strawberry tree, of course I'm not talking about all types of trees, but rather the same species, if so, we are very similar:) It's very difficult to even add something, except fir, pyracantha, sclerophyll shrubs, like many Crimean shenanigans, a lot of classified types of bushes and imported plant species like chestnut
Thank you very much James for posting this great resource on youtube.
Thank you Damien. Glad you found it useful.
What a wonderfully informative presentation. Thankyou for sharing 🌳
Thanks very much
Thank you for putting this on you tube, really appreciate it.
Thanks Steve - much appreciated.
Thank you so much from Cork. I will use this knowledge to teach my kids how to identify the trees around our home.
This was fantastic. Thanks for the video. But one thing: you say the Rowan has alternate leaves, but they look opposite in the picture at 37:00 mins?

@@WoodlandClassroom you are most welcome 🙏🏾
I have a question regarding oak tree
In my State Himachal all the oak tree species (three i know) are evergreen trees but
I have seen oak tree forest in uk in videos which has no leaf in winter is it true
if yes
Are all oak tree species are like that there
if yes
Is it because of harsher winter …!
Thank you
Good teaching style James!
thanks very much for watching the video

Just done a tree identification lesson as part of my course this was a great bit of revision👍

Let me know if you have any tree questions - James
Really appreciate and enjoyed this thanks 😊
Thanks for the feedback.Happy tree hunting.
I like fast growing conifers for screening from neighbour who cut my Leylandi we have redwood in local parks they are beautiful and lots of oak trees
Leylandi should be banned!
This was great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👍
Is it possible to get the cheat sheet/all seasons ID pages? Happy to pay
Hello. Yes, we have an Etsy shop where many of our tree cheat sheets are available to buy. You can find them here: woodlandclassroom.etsy.com
Good introductory vide to trees 👍👍Now Do I get a free tree ID course admission as we maybe related Ie I live inthe Uk and have the same Surname 😊😊 ?
Great work, Tree Lovers. Some say walnuts came with Romans, same as sycamore and sweet chestnuts and limes.
James do old birch have diamond shape bark fissures?
This is an interesting question. I have heard this spoken about diamond shaped fissures on the bark but have not seen it clearly enough yet to use it as a defining feature so I don't teach it currently. That may change in time though.
great vid, very useful cheers!
nice video - more tree silloettes would be useful as graphics or photos
♥️♥️♥️
I'm watching from Ukraine, so not America alone
Welcome and thanks for watching. I wonder how many of these trees are found in Ukraine?
