Great video! I would like to address your description of Elm Bark! Here in SW Pa, I come across lots of Elm and 3 different species I see the most, the Bark is not easy to push your fingernail into at all. Quite the opposite, very hard bark. I have come across the very corky soft Elm Bark you speak of, but not as frequently as the Other Elm I see. I cut firewood almost full time cleaning up down trees, standing dead trees, and storm damage. I never realized how much Elm is in our area. It is quite a lot in Pa. Much of the Elm I see resembles red oak, I call it faux Elm, because it tricks me all the time. The biggest give away is the Rays of the end grain of cut Elm. They are the mist prominent rays I be ever seen on wood. Thanks for your videos, would love to walk the woods with you, maybe you could ID These Elms for me! I think some of them ate Hybrids that took on different characteristics when they were trying to grow blight resistance Elm.

Thanks so much for the upload, I'm learning a lot. I've been a carpenter. on the east coast. for over 3 decades but. I never took time out to learn tree identification. I mean, I knew how to recognize oak and poplar and maple etc but; here in the philly area, as I am sure in many other areas, there is such a vast diversity of trees to study. You really know your stuff and it's very helpful. :. Thanks again.

I think KY and Ohio have very similar trees. I grew up in the Appalachia Mountains of Eastern KY. We used to swing on the grapevines when I was a kid. Once when we were swinging, the grapevine broke when my cousin was in mid air. It knocked the breath out of her and we all thought she was dying. Scared us half to death. When we see each other we laugh and remember swinging on the grapevines.

I've been watching a lot of these types of videos lately, and this one BY FAR is the BEST I've seen. You come across relaxed, personable and knowledgeable. I am a nursery professional, but learning to identify tall trees by their bark is something like remembering people by their faces; you need to get to know them. Thank you for being so helpful!

Did you just walk up to that owl and film it? . I'm in the pan handle of northern WVa. Lot of the same trees here. They're wonderous. it's too bad the people sold out. To the big gas snakes. The trees be damned. For a pittance. I might add. Its a shame and a sin. it should be a crime.

This is very well done.
Your knowledge is admirable and most people viewing this video are completely unaware of how much work went into putting this together.
(Camera on tripod in the woods as well as much editing afterwards.
Thank you for this!

I have several snags in the area I'm in, and I'm attempting to use a bow drill. I need to identify the snags in order to make the best possible fireboard. Can I contact you using hangouts and send you pictures of the dead trees so that I'm able to use them?
