- Today we see how many tree species there are from my house to my dad’s house. Although we don’t get too far. Below are some books I mentioned.
The book on oaks is fantastic and I can’t recommend it enough.

You aren't rushing! This was very educational. Ive often wondered which trees were around! Thanks for doing this! 🌳
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate that!
I do enjoy your walks in the woods. You're are very knowledgeable
I appreciate that!
Good morning Levi and family.
Thanks for sharing this amazing video. Really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing more.
Thanks a lot John! I appreciate that
Levi thanks for sharing your knowledge with us !!
My pleasure!
I love your tree identification commentary. I live in northeastern Ohio and have many of the same trees around. Keep it up!
Thank you. I imagine they are very similar. Do you get a lot of buckeyes? I never see them but anytime I visit Ohio I see them
@ThaidupwiththeMorgans Not in my area but I do know of one a 15 minute drive from here.
Whether we're tapping maples or taking a walk in the woods, it's always fun and interesting hanging out with you Levi. Looking forward to the next visit. 🌳🌳🌲🌲
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. There is a lot more on the way.
I will take all the tree knowledge you can spare. I have 30 acres I’m trying to manage into something parklike. Would appreciate any tree Id videos you want to make. Close up leaf , branch, and bark identifiers etc. thank you
Sounds good I will keep them coming.
Great job...your knowledge is incredibly educational. Thank you
So nice of you. Thanks!
Enjoyed this video Levi. Nice to learn about all the different species of trees in your area and how far they naturally extend. Hope your family is well and stay safe.
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Hope you are also well
Great video Levi. The mysterious sound is that of a wood frog. When I first started hearing them here I thought for sure they were ducks.
Wow Mike I think you’re right! Just listened to the call on a video on CZcams. Sounds just like it! You solved the mystery and very close to that nest is a swamp where we have frogs in!
I think you're right. After all of the heavy rains we just received, I've been hearing them around our home, which is tucked into a wooded, semi-wetland, area that would be a perfect habitat for them.
Old timer once told me to mark the NORTH side of cedar trees before digging and replant the same direction. Makes a good hedge row. Thank you
Interesting! Thanks!
Learned Something New, Many things actually, and for an old country boy
that's a Good Thing !!
😊
Glad to hear it! Thanks a lot!
Levi - Good to see you back on here! Thanks for educating us. We know your plate is full, but when you can your videos are appreciated. Good to see Thea and Thai at the end. Take care ...
Thank you! Much appreciated
Good to see you folks are doing good. Really enjoyed your identifying some of the trees close to your house. That animal in the tree was a squirrel, and possibly a flying squirrel at that. They get very nervous and quite vocal when you get near and sometimes vacate the nest. You'll have to go out and set where you can see the nest yet be sort of protected from sight and wait quietly and motionless and they will come out after a while to see what you are and what you're doing. Ty and Thea are really growing. Thanks for sharing Levi, you all take care and stay safe. Fred.
Fred thanks so much for answering. I feel silly living my whole life around squirrels and never noticing that before lol. I appreciate the answer. I will definitely do that!
Good morning Levi & family!! Hope all are well and have a blessed day and weekend. Thanks.
Good morning! Thank you!
@@ThaidupwiththeMorgans just wanted to add that you done a great job on the video. You've done your homework and it shows. Look forward to part #2! We also enjoy growing, planting trees, flowers, etc... Don't remember if I have your email but if I do, I'll send pictures of our granddaughters outrageous pumpkin patch. Uggh. Lol. Thanks.
Like father, like son. Great job Levi, and please continue your series on tree and tree identification. Your education is shining through here. I do have experience with red cedar going wild, if left in an open area when it sheds its seeds, you have a red cedar thicket in a few short years. Well that is my experience in SW Alabama. Thanks.
Wow that is crazy. Thanks a lot for watching and the support.
You’re a bright individual and you present yourself well and I can see where you get that from. I love to be in my woods and try to know what’s around me but you’ve opened my eyes Immensely.
I look forward to more of your videos and yes, don’t be afraid to talk about dead animals. People need to get over Looking at dead critters. They’re everywhere so get used to it. LOL
Thank you for a great video
lol you’re right. But thanks for your kind comment I appreciate it. So many moving things around us we don’t see unless we look!
Look forward to part 2, when you head into the woods. Keep them coming.
Thank you!
Great Job, I'm in central Missouri and almost every tree you identified we have and a plentiful. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do! Very neat how their ranges spread.
I enjoy what you do Levi!
Thanks a lot!
Excellent video and very informative, born and raised in Western PA I was familiar with many of the specifics but learned a lot. Nice seeing the little ones too.👍
Thank you! I’m glad to hear it
Levi, excellent video! Keep it up. Go with your gut. You have a great screen presence. This was my first visit to your channel. I never miss your dad's stuff. I have some serious catching up to do on your content. I learned a ton today. Thank you! A suggestion, if I may: maybe a series of shorts on individual native tree and under-growth species with quick facts and guides to more info - five minutes each - all contained in a playlist for easy reference - fascinating easy content for anyone who comes in contact with green things. (Make the videos in the summer and edit/publish in the winter when it's not as easy to get out in the woods.) I'm a fan. I live up the road in New Castle.
Thanks so much ! I appreciate the kind words. I also agree with your suggestion. That is exactly what I have in mind! Oh yeah you’re not far at all! Thanks for the support
A very interesting and well done video Levi! I’d love to be sitting in a chair somewhere under a shade tree and listening to you talk for a long while.
Thank you! I love talking trees lol
Excellent video! We would love to see more of these nature videos. Thank you for posting this.
More to come! Thank you!
Nice. I was one of the people that commented on your Dad's channel that I would appreciate more talk from you about trees. My college field Botany class was over 30 years ago now (crazy).
Cool, thanks! Wish I took some botany 🤦♂️ Latin names and plant systematics are tough but I’m doing my best.
Look forward to when you help us identify different trees. Great video. There is a lot more going on around us that we realize. Anxious to learn more
Absolutely! So much around us. Just need to stop and look.
Great job Levi. I have always enjoyed the outdoors and especially trees. I am with you also about the White Oak, such pretty wood. I also wish I had some American Chestnut trees to plant here in Alabama to get them reestablished but it looks like that may never happen. Now remember, "Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree".
I love that quote! I’ve never heard that but it’s good. I agree I’d love some thriving American chestnut.
Hi Levi, I listened to the sound you recorded and we have them in Georgia, It a grey squirrel nest, they build in most any tree, watched a possum climb up to one last summer and there was a ruckus apparently the squirrels threw it out and it hit the ground with a thud. I laughed for a while... Good job on your walk, American Chestnut will come up get big enough to make a few nuts then the blight kills them, I was told by Forestry people that the blight came over when the Chinese chestnut was introduced. In one of the mountain areas where the CCC camps cut down the trees trying to stop the blight I saw and cut on some of the logs that were 4 and 5 ft in diameter at the base what a loss. Cheers!
John, thanks so much for identifying the sound. That is so interesting I didn’t know that. Wow! That is massive. Just today I toured a property with a native plant group I’m apart of and he has similar stories of some very of American chestnuts.
Excellent video Levi...well presented. You certainly telegraph a passion with your knowledge. Wishing the best for you and your family. Stay safe, stay healthy. Go Oilers! 😊 Steve in Calgary
Thanks a lot Steve! The oilers are something else! Mcdavid and draisaitl are incredible. Best of luck.
It was a pleasure!
Very nice video Levi!
This was very interesting, and a great explanation of the trees in your area.
It is amazing just how many species you can find in a short walk!
Glad you enjoyed it! I thought so too. And I think I even missed a couple lol. Saw them a few days later.
This is the first time I’ve seen your channel. Love it,I am a tree guy. Love to take my books and go to different places and identify trees. I subscribed to you’re immediately. You appear to be very knowledgeable about trees.keep the great work up !
Thanks a lot! Glad to hear it. I love books on these subjects lol. It’s a lot of fun and teaching it all to my kids. I appreciate the support
Very good. I so look forward to more. Good pacing! Fascinating variety.
Thanks a lot!
I enjoyed your video Levi. Keep them coming. We had crows raise babies in the woods behind our property. They kind of sounded like that.
Thank you! Oh wow that is so cool
I love this video so much. Please do follow ups to help us learn about our wonderful woodlands!
I will do that! Thank you!
Thanks for the tree identification segment. We have many of the same species in Chattanooga, TN area. Looking forward to learning more about white oaks. We have loads of them here.
Thank you! White oaks are kings in my opinion. Love them.
Very cool video can’t wait for part 2. I’ll be checking out your other videos. !! Keep at it.!! Happy Father’s Day 🦾🧬⚡️
Thank you!
Glad to hear about ..The American chestnut trees.
Would love to grow a lot more but it’s hard to come by the chestnuts.
Levi... you , Kate and the kids need to go see the Big Sequoias and Redwoods out in Calli... My Grandpa and Great Grandpa told me stories of the American Chestnut of the early 1900's into the great depression in Crum, Wva... and Louisa ky. area... They were huge!!! Trees are the life and filters of this planet!
The red woods and sequoias are a dream of mine! My dad as well has always wanted to see them. They look incredible. Wow that is so nice hearing those stories from them. So cool what our ancestors can share with us. Special
@@ThaidupwiththeMorgans I've taken all of my kids(5) out to the big fuzzy trees as they called the Sequoias... The serenity and peacefulness you get amongst the ancient ones is so soothing and calming to your soul.... It truly is a magical experience to feel the wisdom they exude... Humbling my wife calls it.
The Sequoia trees are worth the trip. Huge redwoods will wow you on the way up to the sequoias!
Great video !!! Can't wait for the next tree identification video. 😊
Coming soon!
Nice tour! I learned a tree that I’ve wondered about for some time! Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great job Levi. I just text your dad the other day about you doing a video like this. I always have trouble identifying our trees local to us. You definitely cleared up some of my confusion on tree species. Thanks again!
I’m glad to hear that! More videos coming soon
@@ThaidupwiththeMorgans I’ll be watching for them!!! Thanks.
Thanks Levi for the very interesting and informative video on your trees. You are very knowledgeable about trees, Mike has commented on your tree knowledge. Good to see you again doing some talking, always see you working with your dad Mike, but you hardly do and talking.
You should start a CZcams channel with your vast tree knowledge, maybe once a month. Thank Levi, I enjoyed watching this video.
Thank you Luis! Great to hear from you! Planning to share a lot more
I'm the guy from Kansas that commented on the red cedars. The guy from Oklahoma that commented was also was exactly right with his comments. I will try and taken a couple of pictures of areas that are completely choked out with cedars. You must have some sort of forestry training.
Thanks a lot! I’ve taken some classes through the penn state extension and just lots of reading and time in the field.
Thank you! Glad your son explored the zoo
Us too! Thanks
Must be so nice to have a large family property and be able to walk to your parent's house through a private forest. Great video. Keep an eye out for that invasive Japanese knotweed as it will spread rapidly.
That is one invasive I’ve never seen on our property thankfully. But it is all over some people’s yards close by and they use it in their landscaping. So I’m sure it will pop up eventually. I have heard some horror stories about it.
I got a lot of useful information from this video. I will be checking out more of them from our upstate New York oak-frame post and beam homestead. Thanks
Very cool sounds beautiful! Thanks so much!
I live on a farm in Northern, Ky. and have approx. 30 acres of woods. A lot of the species you identified. 3 years ago a huge red oak went down and after I cleared up all the mess and cut the firewood I planted 4 American Chestnut trees in the clearing. They are doing ok and are about 3 ft. tall now. I have to keep them in cages to keep the deer off of them. I am very interested in trees, my Dad and brother and I have set about 17,000 trees on the farms. Ellis
Very cool you planted some American chestnut. And wow 17000!!! That’s amazing.
Great. Video Levi, very interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed your video on the trees and look forward to more.
More to come!
You did a great job. Maybe do some time laps pictures of thou out the 4 different seasons and show the difference in the barks
That would be a great idea !
Good job Tyler! Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks!
Excellent video Levi. I found this very informative and well presented. I would like to see more video's like this :)

Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video
Thanks!
Great information! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much ! Love the information.
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
On the property in Beaver County : it looks like a progression from farm to scrub with Black Locust. The locust only got to 3 or 4 inches before being over shadowed by silver maple. And Sumac at the road side. Horrible weed tree - fast grow, week. The locust dead fall are everywhere. They make great firewood but really dull a chain saw (actual sparks from the chain - so hard). Thanks for the tours. Take care
I’ve seen that sumac all over roadsides! Yes locust is so hard. Very impressive. Thanks!
Very educational.
Thank you.
Love the nature study!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching.
Thank you Levi! Keep ‘‘em coming. From Crawford country. ☕️🦌
More to come! Thank you!
Thank you I enjoys the Video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Enjoyable video. A great way of presenting your knowledge. A zoom of the trunk is beneficial, a guess as to the age of a subject plant and the fungi get to be the primary controllers of the under-world. I think Mycelia are possibly the major factor in determining distribution densities.
In my long time ago professional world of coach tour driving and giving commentary here in Australia your presentation style would have been referred to as "Living Commentary". It's a great way to communicate to your audience and was a pleasure to listen and learn.
Thanks so much. Mycelia is very fascinating. Wow thanks for the compliment. I enjoy this stuff a lot and I’m glad you liked it
Great video. Very interesting and a lot of insight. Keep it up Eli.. very enjoyable.
Thanks, will do!
Great video. Keep them coming. So educational!
Thanks, will do!
Great video. Good information.
Glad it was helpful!
Keep them coming, great video
Thanks, will do!
Great job 👍
Thanks 👍
I would love to see more videos like this…. My yard has more trees than grass, and helping to learn more in identifying them would be great… oh, I live in northern part of CT…. Thanks…
More to come! Thanks for watching!
I live in Kansas and the red cedars can take over a pasture if you don't keep after them. If you cut them down, they will not regrow. Also fire is s good way to control them if you have a lot of them. The birds eat the berries on the trees and them and spread the seeds naturally. I think that where you are at, the canopy you have doesn't allow them to spread. You typically see them in wide open areas like pastures.
That explains a lot! You must be right. Mostly closed canopy here. Thanks Michael!
This is super cool! Great video
Thanks a lot!
GREAT JOB LEVI, VERY INTERESTING!
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job very interesting and informative
Glad you enjoyed it
Looking at the babies shocks me.
How long have I been Looking at Melissia's smile?
Mike is ok too☺
Growing so fast
@@ThaidupwiththeMorgans Don't waste one minute.
looking forward to part 2!
Thank you!
I LIKED YOUR VIDEO ALOT,,,,REALLY ENJOYED IT HOPE TO SEE SOME MORE,,THANK YOU FOR SHARING,,,,GOD BLESS,,,,
More to come! Thank you!
Great video. Very informative. 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
such a wealth of knowledge... I knew maybe 5 of the one he mentioned...))))
Thank you! I was the same just a few years ago!
Great overview of the species!
Thanks a lot!
Great video.
Thank you!
Great video! I really enjoyed it. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done, very interesting and enjoyable.
Many thanks!
great job !!!! very interesting, Levi, make more !!!!
Thanks! Will do!
The shaggy shingle-like bark provides shelter for bats and tiny birds called brown creepers. It is also a host plant for banded hairstreak butterfly and many moths. Hog farmers like to plant this tree because their pigs like the nuts.
I never realized this! Thanks for sharing. What an amazing tree. My wife, kids and I have been watching the lightning bugs and bats lately. The kids love them both. But I don’t know nearly enough about bats. Very cool
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks very interesting. Would also enjoy brief info on local invasives. Gonna try and start planning, propagating, the service bearing and the flowering dogwood. Trying my luck with pawpaw right now 😊
Great suggestion! I do plan to cover the invasive some people may not know about them and would be good to raise awareness. Good luck with the trees you’re growing. It’s a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed this video Levi!
Glad you enjoyed it Augy!
Excellent video, keep up the interesting content.
Thanks, will do!
Great video - fellow tree nerd here - one correction - latin for flowering dogwood is cornus florida (you showed pyrus communis accidentally... 😊). Great! Video - looking forward to the next!
Well done sir ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
@ThaidupwiththeMorgans you're very very welcome
Great video Levi! I love learning about trees and forest management. Thanks for the book recommendations. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks! Will do!
Good video,i think this is a good idea for videos ,wildlife and trees and all that that entails
Glad you think so!
great video
Thanks!
@@ThaidupwiththeMorgans yw
I love the fragrance of the Black Locust! It's a very strong fragrance. Firewood's as good as oak. I hate the Honey Locust's 6" long needles, but it burns great!
It really is.
Awesome!
Thanks!
@@ThaidupwiththeMorgans Levi, I have to tell you... You are just as smooth as glass when you are on camera. Never any ums, uhs, etc. Unlike that other Morgan's channel! LOL! Just kidding. Your Dad and I are the same age and have been watching you guys for a long time. Cheers! -Rich (over here in Harrisburg).
