How to Identify Trees in the Winter (Part 2) - AdventureArchives
video description
Just kidding. There was actually just a couple of little army men, a couple quarters, a plastic ring like a kid might get at the dentist, and a rolled up paper geocache log. ;-) Whew, almost got a whole bunch of people started pulling bark off oak trees, didn't I?

I-ve always loved being in the woods out in nature. I-ve always been a carpenter building houses but recently got into building furniture. That really helped me want to get to know the difference between trees and when I started getting into carving spoons and stuff it became almost even more important. Since I-m going into the woods and cutting off limbs to carve a spoon. Because you kinda need to do it while the tree is still green. On top of that some kinds of trees are a lot better and easier to carve. So I-ve been learning a lot and it has been great. Now it-s late fall and winter is pretty much here. So now I-m learning how to identify without the leaves. It-s been a lot of fun too. A lot more than I initially thought it would be. Thanks for the Info. Great video series

What tree would look dark, very much resemble a walnut tree in the winter, but when you go to touch/check the bark for the dark chocolate characteristic of a walnut, you are surprised by a very hard concrete feeling bark that is hard to chip and if you are even able to get a piece off would have a more of an orange color. I have many of these trees on my property and wonder what they are. from your video I am suspect white oak could be a candidate. Love your videos by the way, I have learned quite a bit and spent some time in the woods which is a nice disconnect from the day to day hustle.

Very informative stuff. I know many of these trees already after having studied tree id in order to help finding mushrooms that are associated with certain trees. I live in SE PA and for the life of me cannot find Elm trees that are associated with Morels. You're right about appreciating nature. We should all take more time to appreciate the beauty.

Holy crap! I thought the hackberry was a tree that had been attacked by a fungus so I would choose those when I needed green wood for camp-craft. Always confused me because it would be green. Is it possible for you to do a video contrasting the differences between poplar and maple trees? Thanks for everything, I have written down all these trees!

I've lived in Atlanta many years and now in Louisiana. The white oaks are completely different. The flakey bark in Atlanta are long and wide. In Louisiana the bark is shorter and more narrow. Damn then you mentioned honey locust. my favorite. those are not in range in Atlanta by the range maps but I did find two. one I posted on u tb.

Nice video - relatively easy intro to winter identification. Any chance of doing a video that focuses on younger trees? We-re trying to clear some woodland in NW Illinois of invasive trees/plants but young versions of trees and shrubs are confusing as the trees change appearance as they age.

Thanks for another great video! I just found out I am allergic to Maplewood. Thought it would be a great idea to learn how to identify trees since I am planning some big hikes next year! Keep up the great work! Love all the videos!

I've been looking for a good reference for identifying trees in winter and your videos are perfect because you certainly know your stuff.
You did a great presentation (and great editing by the way.

Do you have any videos on rot resistant trees and specialty trees for lumber? I've got a small farm and a five acre lot, I'd like to be able to make my own fence posts and procure my own lumber.
