hey switch needed survival let's go over some with the tree ID today alright so I'm not too far off the road so you know periodically here's some cars and things in the background now this tree in front of me is a maple now some of the characteristics i give this maple away arts grey bark it's very grey it slightly scaled as you can see slightly scaly texture to it and they have these light green growths on them but maple seem to always have those growths with the grey bark and when you start going up to their branches you'll see that the branches are are very graceful see how these branches come off very smooth pretty straight all the way up ok so it's next tree in front of me you'll notice that the bark is very bulky and it's kind of squared off very clumpy very stout looking now as you move up you'll notice underneath the outer bark all these red fissures these red lines that's underneath the bark this is an oak tree and it's darker than a maple tree especially a young maple tree this particular oak is in northern red now oak trees have very erratic growth on their branches if you look at the crown you'll notice that the branches aren't very smooth and straight and graceful very erratic they take turns it's different angles to them the very knobby so you can see the crown of this of these two oaks right here third oak right there the wood has a lot of turns in it it's very gangly see in that patch right there it's really just kind of everywhere it's very unorganized in a way a lot of turns in it things like that it's tree in front of me small sapling as a pine tree happens to be the eastern white pine you can tell it's a pine by the greenish brown bark likes to grow in these common nodes with gaps in the middle

you can see right there and of course pine needles eastern white pines have five needles to a cluster okay so here's a cluster four and one is five right there so that's eastern white my area we have pitch pine in red pine pitch pine there's three in the bundle and red pine have two in the bundle ok so it's tree in front of me that has a very dark green bark it's beach it's on a very prolific tree in my area there's enough and if you go close to the bark you'll see orange spots there's another one standing right beside that one this has a good cluster of orange on it right there now beach is somewhat graceful as well as you can see likes to go nice and straight

this is a good tree for making pot-hooks because they split off a lot and a lot of ease a lot of wise a lot of ease these trees always have a lot of splits in them in the branches and Beach tend to hold on to their leaves longer than other trees alright in this tree in front of me this little sapling you'll notice takes many many turns really grows it's right here with tons of turns it's like squiggles everywhere all along the branches you know it's constantly just growing from side to side it has tons of curves in it you can see it just constantly is just wiggling you know back and forth it's very snake-like this particular tree the sassafras it's very easy to pick out by its growth pattern you know just grows very strange as you can see now another way to identify sassafras just by looking at the bark underneath and just slightly rub this a little bit take off the other bark and you'll notice that it's strikingly orange very orange okay so this tree has died this is a birch tree the bar curls up peels off easily it's as sensor into a birdhouse the bark is very white in color this is happen to be the gray bar slaying on the ground here see it curls up and the bark rips or particular to the growth of the tree so it's going to want to pull this way kind of reddish brown underneath grows in layers you can see there's many layers of the BOK there okay so as a quick half-dozen basically just identified from the bark you know and the growth patterns which really helps with identification during winter is not using the leave so the flowers or anything like that so like six different trees that grow on my area which was maple oak pine beach sassafras and arch appreciate your views come to support see you guys in the next one take care
