I am surprised that the Bristlecone pine seemingly was omitted. These old, gnarled high-altitude (9,000 to more than 11,000 ft above msl) pines found in Utah Nevada and eastern California are among the oldest living organisms on planet Earth the oldest known living example of Pinus longaeva has been dated at 4,855 years old. Just think of how much knowledge it has acquired during all those years!
I enjoyed this informative video. I was a little surprised, when recapping uses for the birch tree, it wasn’t mentioned that Native Americans used it’s bark to make canoes. The tough bark can easily be peeled from the tree for this purpose.One thing I’m surprised that you did not mention in the clip about Juniper trees. T he Hormones Juniper; native to a rugged mountains in California. They produce a substance called Taxol which is used to treat certain types of cancer.
I love trees and have a lovely liquidambar styraciflua (American Sweetgum) which is gorgeous in the Autumn. Sadly the leaves have all gone now, but the spring will delight me with pale yellowish green leave. It looks stunning next to my ornamental plum with it’s deep purple leaves..
All these 30+ years I’ve been on this earth, I never knew the real name of the “money tree.” When the planes started falling too fast in the 80s, our more of transportation went to many, many road trips. When the leaves of the Asian blew in the wind, we saw them as coins glimmering in the sunlight. I miss those days. “No need to ask if you wanna go, just tell me when to be ready!” Mom was always ready for the road! Plus out of all the years of living here, Ive only visited Angel Oak once! Shame on me! Lol.
