More Colorado TREES #colorado

I enjoy seeing trees that I’m not used to. Visiting other areas makes me realize how my knowledge is based on the area where I work.

When I visit new places, I love to walk around looking at the local trees, and see how they grow.

The cottonwoods here (Colorado) can be pretty majestic, but they're terrible trees for yards, at least in the long run. Even if you get a "cottonless" variety to cut back on the fluff, they're also self pruning, so they're always dropping limbs, sometimes quite large, and they often rot inside (like the one you saw). Combined with our wind storms, it's a recipe for a limb through the roof.

Northern Red Oak is among the top 10 most common trees here in Rhode Island. Brilliant fall color. Typical New England! Good stuff Blair-enjoy your new granddaughter!

Neat to see a red oak out west! I'm in NH, and there's red oaks absolutely everywhere 😅 I love em'

Blair, I really enjoyed the casual video! The fastigiate oaks seem to be pretty popular in the northwest too. I kinda like them individually - the straightness is rather unusual and they produce lots of nice acorns. But.... I completely lose it when I see 12 of them in a straight line covered in black dye mulch! That's when it becomes soulless and dystopian.

Quercus Robur is the English Oak. They can grow to be 40m (130ft) tall. They are the National tree of the UK and they are very long lived. They can be distinguished against the Sessile Oak (Quercus Petraea) because the leaves’ lobes go down to the bud, while sessile oaks have a stem before the leaves. The English Oak also has a stem before the acorn, but the sessile oak doesn’t. They are a beautiful deciduous tree and don’t naturally grow thin like that cultivar.

They used those trees for making wine corks haha. They grow different to that from what ive seen in australia

Those weird dense oak cultivars are used as street trees where I live (Portland Maine). I don't know much about them, except that they seem to die about half the time, but the life of a street tree is tough.
I assume they pick them because they don't seem to get that big. Just dense like that.

that Quercus Robur ' Fastigata x bicolor hybrid 'Is a common tree in Europa, more common in the netherlands were im from is the Quercus Robur ' Fastigata Koster '

We call them columnar oak in idaho. They hold their leaves all season, a guy would think they're dead in the winter. I bet that cottonwood is only about 80-90 years old...
