THANK YOU! Terrific information to begin my journey into tree identification. At 78, it is about time!

When I was a land surveyor we had to do tree identification sometimes for boundary and or Corner identification and this is what we had to learn the same thing you're teaching right now because of course we surveyed all season

Highly recommend practicing this on winter hikes. Very easy to do when all the deciduous trees are dormant.

Excellent video. I used to work for a conifer specialist when a teenager, but I'd lost the knack of identification decades ago - as I moved through different fields of horticulture.
Only in recent years, when I started to grow different conifers from seed, and birds joyously pulled all the labels out of the seed trays, did I find that it's becoming more necessary to know what on Earth that 25ft tree is in my garden.
The only seed variety I could identify on sight was a rare New Mexican Fir (the seeds costing a - ahem - packet). The others were a bunch of unknowns until now, where I can at least make a start by identifying the family.
Thank you!

Hi Adam, I live in central Ohio and wanted to say thank you for all the information you pack into your videos. I started foraging for edibles and medicinals last year and continue to learn more all the time from you. Keep up the awesome work!

I grew up in central Indiana, where the Eastern Red Cedar was the only native conifer. Since moving to Upper Michigan I have gotten much better with conifers, but have always struggled with the difference between spruce and fir. Thanks

Another excellent video full of valuable information, plus some great nature shots.
Thank you, Adam!!!

Man this is an amazing video. You’ve improved so much in your lecturing skills!

[Angry-Harry]

Thank you, Adam. You're always a fountain of outdoor wisdom and I appreciate all that you do. I really regret missing a visit you made to Michigan while I was in the MMHC.
This video is very applicable to my hunting grounds around Holly where until now i've relied heavily upon the tree and limb shapes to distinguish the finer details to ID one conifer from another. This is really going to help me run my mouth even more about the land as I walk around with friends and family 😆

Wow. You've come a long ways. This was an awesome video, Adam! Well done! Succinct, informative, well-edited, with zero wasted time for the viewer. I've been subscribed for quite a while, but I am hitting the notification bell after this one. I want to see more.
That was good teaching.

Thank you Adam for your expertise, with your website and YouTube channels we have learned so much! We live in Southern Lancaster county, and Chester county, so we can’t help being partial to this beautiful green state. Just like the old PA license plates used to read, “You’ve Got A Friend In PA”, you sir, make it an honest reality! Thanks again brother!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are wonderfully approachable and relatable as well as super, super informative. I have learned so much from watching. Thanks again from a fellow 'Burgher!

[Adeeba_Zamaan]

Thank you, again. I learn so much from your beautiful and instructive videos.

Great video, I really like how you explain the basic parts of the tree and what to look for. i have been an ISA arborist for 13 yrs and have gotten by with just the basic tree I D . But for me it's time to push my self to the next level, and really understanding more of the details of what i'm looking at. it will make me a better arborist ! So i look forward to taking your tree I D class ! Scott

I always look forward to your videos! You’ve helped me learn so much through my foraging journey! Thank you!

[melb.]

Your knowledge knows no limits. Fascinating!

[sapelesteve]

Terrific tree ID video as usual Adam! Good to see you posting again! 👍👍🌲🌲

I live in Cedartown. I have tried my whole life to plant and encourage cedars to actually grow here because most were harvested a century before I was born.

Thank you. I've been out for a walk today and precisely this question sprang to mind. I promised myself that when I got home, I'd study conifers. This is such a wonderful springboard for my studies.
