    You seem like a very happy man. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your voice and tone has the power to lift someone’s mood.

    “...a White pine. White, w-i-t-e, five letters, five sprigs...” (4:29) Sorry, I’m a tech writer and these things pop out at me. I just had to smile. Great video, James!
  • This is one of the simple lessons that should be taught in school. Taxes should be taught too.

    As a KY mountains grandkid. My great grandma at 90 plus years could ID almost every plant on her home place also telling the uses of them as medical use or building use A forgotten art.,Same to say.

    Great video, James. I love tree spotting, too! My kids think I'm some kind of wizard because I know their names. Not the kids' names, the trees. 😄
  • @ddbulley3
    It's kind of crazy for me to realize how many trees are in one place. And how similar some of the characteristics are. Very informative! Thank man.
  • (9:31) “…so when you’re running in the woods, you’re going to come across these nuts….”, very subtle James, nice. Sorry, I have a younger brother and these things pop out at me.

    I just love listening to someone when I write. But not some someone, but someone that talks with passion about things that it likes to do
  • @patrick8198

    Great video friend. This helped a lot. I owned a landscaping business that sables in tree work and this is perfect. You moved at a comfy steady pace and added no fluff

    This is awesome. I am a newb who recently purchased The Secret Life Of Trees. Now I'm hooked, trying to get as much info and knowledge as I can. I appreciate your video.

  • @elliemm557
    This was the most comprehensive, clear, thorough video I have found so far in identifying trees. Great video!!

    I was looking for a guide to common trees, you gave it and you made it fun. I recognized a few, from the park across the street. Others were new, and others (like oak) were widely known. You made it informative enough that I feel confident the next time I'm out and looking for what kind of trees are around me. Thanks.
