Sugar cream pie was always by my great-grandma and my great aunt, and I never knew it had such a rich history. Thank you for telling me something I would've never known about something I hold so closely from family gatherings. I adore the woodworking aspects of this channel, but what I love most is how deeply you dive into what you are working with to really explore its history and values- even going far enough to research the state pie!
I've lived in Indiana all my life. Sugar cream pies really are the best! Growing up, there'd always be a "best sugar cream pie" contest at the rural church my family went to for pretty much any holiday. You could usually look at the oldest grandma in the room and know that one was going to be the best!
@JgoldOmega Yeah, sounds about right, the older people or grandmas, as you say, being the best pie makers, since they had the most experience in feeding people and know how to cook good food. I love how its passed down, as Ive learned some things from my mother and her cooking from her culture... And hope good home baking stays relevant. Stuff like this helps
I commented this on a previous video but seeing as you covered both the Red and Sugar Maple in the original map, I think the Silver Maple would be a great tree for Connecticut considering it’s historic use by the Mohegan-Pequot people as a cough medicine
GREAT choice! I was a transplant to Indiana for seven years before recently moving back to my home state, and one thing I picked up from my time as a hoosier was an abiding appreciation for sycamores. They are truly stunning trees, always the focal point of a riverbank hike. They look like a watercolor painting in real life.
This made me so happy! Sycamores are some of my favorite shade trees and they're good climbing trees too. Their trunks have such interesting shapes and textures. Their leaves don't get spectacular color in the fall, but do get super crunchy once they fall.
For Minnesota's second tree I don't have a specific tree in mind but rather a biome to pull from- the tallgrass prairie. It used to dominate most of the state but due to agricultural use very little original prairie actually remains, though there are some reclamation efforts that exist. While trees definitely aren't the plant life that the tallgrass prairies are known for, there are some species of trees that could be found out there. The utter destruction of the prairie isn't something I see talked about a lot outside of the Midwest, and even then people still refer to rural western Minnesota as "the prairie" when it isn't, not anymore. Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge is something that could be interesting to talk about, it's a wildlife refuge made up of restored tallgrass prairie and wetlands in northwestern Minnesota. The oak savanna is another more obscure biome that also has a rich history connected to things such as controlled burns by the original indigenous people. The area that is now Minneapolis was once oak savanna once upon a time. TL;DR: tallgrass prairie and oak savanna are very cool Midwestern biomes that have sadly been devastated by colonization and industrialization. Could be cool to talk about
Oak would be a great choice but also NORTHER WHITE CEADR is very important to Ojibwa culture and doesn't realy grow anywhere else in the US (not even in Maine, who we share most trees with)
I never heard about that pie, and I live in Indiana Also random thing about Indiana, there is a place called Santa Claus, and it has a theme park called Holiday World. It is the first and only park like that I’ve been to, and it is AMAZING!
My parents went to ISU so I’m very happy to see the sycamore represented on your map 😊 Fantastic series on both maps! Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
I love your videos and this series! I have a recommendation for Iowa: the Bitternut Hickory. It is a beautiful wood, native groups used it for now-making, and the nuts are edible - though bitter. :) I’m learning so much from your videos and am very entertained! The hank your for sharing your joy with us!
I've never clicked on a video so fast. The American Sycamore is my absolute favorite tree! My brother, a tree nerd, used to quiz me on trees all the time. The Sycamore was the only one I could recognize without fail when he quizzed me... good memories :)
I've been feeling really down lately and this is really helping. I didn't think that cool tree facts would be the thing to get me out of this downward spiral but I'm glad! Go trees!
I think your connection between tree and state is fine. You use the map and the tree as a way to explore and showcase the state itself. This specific beautiful tree and state's yummy pie are part of the wonders of Indiana. :)
This tree grows all over the place in Sydney and I've always wondered what it is! I'm so glad I found your channel - I used to only watch the shorts but since you started teasing the trees and final products in the short form videos, I've come over to this long video format and can safely say this is now one of my favourite channels! Thanks
Sycamores are my favorite!! They always look so inviting to climb and I love the white branches in amongst all the other trees. Stands to reason the wood on the inside would be just as fun! 💚💚 from Indiana
I’ve lived in Indiana for most of my life. When I was in elementary school I was given a sycamore sapling. It’s not very tall still, but I’m very proud of it and I’ve always had an interest in sycamores due to getting my own. Thank you :D
I am so happy you chose this gorgeous tree as my state’s map piece. I am a born and raised Hoosier and the sycamore has such deep meaning to me personally. I feel there is always something wonderful the tree gives us with each season. A new facet to enjoy through the year, the leaves, the bark, the seeds, the artist’s piece standing unique in all forests at all seasons. The American Sycamore has always been in my heart and soul. Every child knows the best Sycamore in town and has fun with it connecting us to the earth. Though you did not choose a direct tree companion piece, you did the best possible thing you could. There are not wide-ranging uses from this tree as there are from others-just as the Hoosier State is widely-overlooked in its beauty-those of us Hoosiers who grew up around them can attest to it having one of the best uses of all: nourishing the soul with its majesty. You actually made the best tree-related companion piece you could. Coming together as a community is what makes Hoosiers more special to me. And so often, someone brings a pie. What an incredible tree the American Sycamore is, and I am so happy you chose this for Indiana.
NJ out of Pitch Pine, please. Also, please do the territories after the states are done. (Sorry for repeating these requests for multiple videos, but I don't know if you've seen them.)
What an amazing wrap up on two completely different topics in under 8 minutes! The sycamore pieces you made were stunning! And I was so happy to see you take on a sugar cream pie! We're not holding out on people, we're glad to share with anyone who will try a slice! Unfortunately the name and look of the pie can turn newbies off for some reason. For someone who had never even had one, I commend you for making one from scratch and can say yours came out very nicely! I've never seen one broiled before, but who knows, maybe that is good too! My personal preference is a giant boat load of nutmeg on top when baking. Have a slice the next day straight out of the fridge with your morning coffee. Not much better in my book!!!
I remember when I was a kid there was one of these trees at my mom's work in the San Diego mountains that I used to climb all over it thank you for bringing back some good memories
When you’re done with the US, you should just add onto your collection with Canada! 🇨🇦We do have a ton of beautiful and unique trees (I mean, we literally represent one in our flag 😅). Thanks for such unique and inspiring content. ☺️
Fun tree fact! There are something like 400 tree species in the world, roughly 250 of them are found in Canada, and yet all of Alberta only has 4 different tree species!
Wow, that one turn out incredible! I can't wait to see what you come up with next. I am from Georgia, but I'm not too knowledgeable of trees, I only started to watch your channel recently and I would love to be educated on a native tree in my state. I love the work that you are doing, keep it up!
Howdy! Current Minnesota resident here, but I was raised in White County Indiana, and I just wanted to say I think your pie looked excellent! My family personally think that the dark bits on top of the pie can be the best parts! The caramelization is delicious... my pa would "stamp" the top of his pies with a hot iron to mark em as our own and give them some of that extra goodness. Map is looking excellent so far, thank you for representing my OG home state so well!
For California maybe use Joshua Tree or California Sycamore? (Your videos inspired me to figure out exactly the type of "sycamore" I grew up with! Turns out they were actually mostly London Planes which I had never heard of!)
As I’m watching this video in my truck I look up and a Sycamore tree is right in front of me lol I’ve loved how they looked all my life but never knew the name. I’ve learned a lot from your channel Justin thank you for making great content
This map is already so cool, it's really interesting to see all the different figure in the woods. I can't wait to see how the final map looks with all the crazy detail you've been able to add!
I am very impressed with your map that you're creating especially all those twists and turns on Indiana. As a native I declare that you did a good job on your pie for a first-timer. :-) the texture of your pie was spot-on. There are a couple variations one is after it has set up to then warm it for just a few minutes to get a slightly warm lukewarm temperature. It will make it a little more Uzi and soft gooey consistency. Personally that's my favorite. Another way to eat it is to eat it warm ice cream on top of or next to so that they kind of melt into each other. But I would imagine most people consider that to be way too rich. Thanks for sharing your Talent, Knowledge, and Skills with the rest of us. Blessings.
Sycamores of all kinds are easily my favourite trees. They grow into absolutely beautiful shapes, create a really warm and pleasant shade, and they have a subtle but pleasant scent. As a bonus point, old European royal parks are usually full of them, giving them an excellent atmosphere. Especially during the summer months.
i just discovered your channel like this morning and i am bingeing like crazy already. i absolutely love how you go in depth into the history of everything and the little extra things you make, it's adorable. new fave channel ngl. as someone who knows nothing abt wood or trees or anything rlly (even from my own country), its interesting to learn abt it from other countries. love this series so much
In Madrid (Spain) parks this tree is very common. As kids, we used to crush the seeds and put a little bit of them in someone's neck. This was an awful prank, as fibers get stuck in the clothes and itches for a very long time. So we call the seeds Pica-Pica, that could be translated as Itchy-Itchy. 😅 Congratulations for the great content! I'm learning a lot about wood, trees and American culture!
I absolutely love sycamores, I live by a huge cluster of them in a village just near Indianapolis. It’s just so pretty to see the patterns on the stumps during spring. The pie looks good btw, albeit, your critiques are correct.
Love the longer form videos, very curious what you'll be using for Ohio if not buckeye wood (the original buckeye burl Ohio was absolutely beautiful), and what you'll be making if not chocolate covered Buckeyes!
I'm super late but as a Hoosier that went to a Sycamore school, the tie I always think of is in our state song! "The moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash/from the fields there comes the breath of new-mown hay/the candlelight shines between the sycamore/on the banks of the Wabash, far away."
I'm a tree worker in N.W. Indiana and have only done a handful of sycamores. They're quite beautiful but dealing with them when green, the sawdust tends to really irritate my nose and throat so I'm fine with seeing them from a distance. Awesome series Justin.
I'm too late to suggest it for Washington (NOT mad about you picking redcedar though!) so I'd like to suggest Big Leaf Maple for Oregon. They're absolutely everywhere on the western side of the Cascades, and growing up out here it always blew my mind to find fallen leaves literally the size of my head. I don't remember most of what I learned about indigenous uses for Big Leaf Maple, but I do know that the leaves were used in cooking for some recipes, I think as a wrap or a cover? Could be an interesting thing to look into since you enjoy cooking, assuming you can get some leaves in decent shape.
We also have that tree here in Greece and we call it "Platanos". It decorates most villages squares and a lot of villages and songs are named after it. A popular one is "Plataniotiko nero" a traditional song from Samos.
My family’s property has about 26 acres of woods and when we first moved out here, the giant sycamore by the creek was my marker to make sure I knew my way back when I explored. Still there, still a beautiful tree
This is so cool. Slightly drunk and not sure how i stumbled across your channel but definitely subscribing. Can't wait for you to do Southern live oak 😁
Im really curious what your gonna use for North Carolina, Ill say as a North Carolinian born and raised I'm hoping for Dogwood. Regardless as an aspiring wood worker I absolutely adore your content and it become abit of a comfort watch for me, Keep it up man!
As a Hoosier, I was super shocked that Sycamore was not the state tree. It definitely feels like it is lol. I also didn't realize just how Hoosier sugar cream pie is! It's such an integral part to my childhood that I don't even think about it!
Of the approx 49,000,000 slices of pie that I have eaten, I can honestly say, yours came out just fine, and now I am hungry for a slice of pie.. darn you.
In Indiana all fourth graders are given sycamore trees for Arbor Day. That’s why my family has two in our yard (one of them didn’t make it though), but the sycamore is a great choice for Indiana for that reason
Sugar cream pie was always by my great-grandma and my great aunt, and I never knew it had such a rich history.

@@Justinthetrees as a resident from Indiana it’s good and get more Indiana trees please
Born and rasied on that pie and it's amazing! Thanks for showing Hoosier some love great video!
making a plate for pie is simple but very hoosier, im very happy you chose the american sycamore for my homestate
Same here 💚

This extended series is amazing! Thank you for revisiting it on TH-cam! (I’m from Nebraska, BTW - just a vote there for a next video)
Nebraskan here too! The hackberry and black walnut are my favorite native Nebraska treese
Nebraska as well
Me too! Best state in the nation!
I vote Oklahoma!!!
@kingkat9050 Oklahoma isn't bad except for the Sooners. 😉
I commented this on a previous video but seeing as you covered both the Red and Sugar Maple in the original map, I think the Silver Maple would be a great tree for Connecticut considering it’s historic use by the Mohegan-Pequot people as a cough medicine
Yes but the wood is very soft and fragile.
@WFly101 Like people from CT
Don't cut yourself on that edge 🙄@@jedimasterjoe5386

Always a great watch! It reminded me of The Anthropocene Reviewed Sycamore episode, amazing trees!!
I really should’ve watched that before making this!
This feels like an old PBS show like I could turn the channel to this at 11pm and watch Justin talk about a new tree every episode
This made me so happy! Sycamores are some of my favorite shade trees and they're good climbing trees too. Their trunks have such interesting shapes and textures. Their leaves don't get spectacular color in the fall, but do get super crunchy once they fall.
That's my favorite part! Lots of sycamore where I live, and getting good cronches while I walk to work makes my day!
I am loving this extended series. As a Hoosier myself, that pie would make any Indiana grandma proud!

I went to college in Eastern Indiana and this episode made me so nostalgic. Thank you for this trip down memory lane.
I love trees! They are beautiful and important.
I loved this one. I’m a Hoosier but recently moved away. So seeing this sent me back home. Thank you.
Greetings from Indiana and thanks!

Do Oregon next! You should do big-leaf maple or Oregon white oak. You could also use pacific madrone or vine maple.
Pacific madrone is so good
Hoosier here! I’m actually pretty sure I used to climb on these when I was a kid, since there’s one in my neighborhood
I'm not mad at the thin tree to food connection, I feel we got a bonus tree science lesson in this video, which I also love.
I remember when I was a kid there was one of these trees at my mom's work in the San Diego mountains that I used to climb all over it thank you for bringing back some good memories

I have three sycamore trees in my yard and I love them! Maybe not so much in the winter when I'm raking the GIANT leaves, but they are beautiful!
Thanks for this! Previously the only use I’d known for sycamore was as a lookalike for maple in guitar building. I always appreciate knowing more.

Amazing extra work makes me always come back
I would love to see Wyoming next.
Thank you so much for your content sir.
I absolutely love sycamores, I live by a huge cluster of them in a village just near Indianapolis. It’s just so pretty to see the patterns on the stumps during spring. The pie looks good btw, albeit, your critiques are correct.
Favourite thing on TH-cam whenever you post.
These videos teach me more than school. Stay safe, don't skip school.
I've been working with some spalted sycamore.... Beautiful stuff.
I love all the enjoyment for Indiana, because I live here and not many people enjoy Indiana besides in may.
Love the longer form videos, very curious what you'll be using for Ohio if not buckeye wood (the original buckeye burl Ohio was absolutely beautiful), and what you'll be making if not chocolate covered Buckeyes!
I love these thanks for teaching about trees 🌲🌳🌴!!!!
I had no idea there are different types of planks depending on how the log is cut that's so cool
It was amazing learning more about my home state and the Wabash River is one of my favorites here thank you for this video
Excited to see what you do for Wisconsin, my homestate!
This is my favorite series to watch. I would love to see my home state of Illinois!
I'm super late but as a Hoosier that went to a Sycamore school, the tie I always think of is in our state song! "The moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash/from the fields there comes the breath of new-mown hay/the candlelight shines between the sycamore/on the banks of the Wabash, far away."
I live right near a tributary of the Wabash river and the sycamores are everywhere

I love the different patterns and colors in the bark. It's just like camo haha.
thanks for sharing Sycamore pie board! Tuning in from Ontario, you inspired me to get into the shop and use some white pine
7:00 FYI, the Tertiary period isn’t used by palaeontologists anymore. It was recently split into the earlier Paleogene and later Neogene periods.
I would like to see Michigan soon, made out of Tamarack wood. Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🥧
I think Michigan should be a sassafras because some of the leaves are mitten shaped!
@@Steveofthejungle8 good point but I thought it was cool that the Tamarack tree can survive in -85 degrees Fahrenheit
Yes!!! Thanks for shouting out ISU. Proud sycamore here!

Of the approx 49,000,000 slices of pie that I have eaten, I can honestly say, yours came out just fine, and now I am hungry for a slice of pie.. darn you.
You gotta go for Texas next, You could of course do Pecan for our state itself and then make something with Prickly Pear
one of the best trees for if you're uncoordinated but still want to climb a tree.
In Indiana all fourth graders are given sycamore trees for Arbor Day. That’s why my family has two in our yard (one of them didn’t make it though), but the sycamore is a great choice for Indiana for that reason
Love how Indiana turned out!! 🥰
The most wholesome man on TH-cam!
Sycamore trees are my favorite. Planted 2 this spring. Was always told you know a tree is a Sycamore because they look sick at the bottom
I grew up with some monster sized American sycamores in my yard. All 3 of us kids couldn't reach around it holding hands.
