We enjoyed your video very much, thank you.
We recently acquired 20 acres of woods in Connecticut, and look forward to identifying our trees. We expect to tap a maple tomorrow!

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!

An Andrew classic! I'm studying bark ID while putting together a neighborhood tree survey, and was delighted (but not a bit surprised) to find an AA video on this subject

Great instruction, Andrew

You're a great teacher, brother. You're definitely forestry professor material. You'll do well in any field

The Red-bellied Woodpecker (and other sap suckers) make those horizontal holes in the tree. Thank you for the information. You do a good job of explaining things!

I’m from the south but have heard of all these trees. Great teaching video. You took plenty of time at each tree, the lighting and sound was great. Thanks.

"If you wanted to you could probably make lots of bows from this" literally the most Napoleon Dynamite thing I've ever heard lol. Love the videos, cheers.
