Thanks for posting these three videos. I thought I was quite knowledgeable about trees, now I know I wasn't. These are videos I wish I'd seen when I was young - no Internet in those days though...

I just watched all three of this series. They were all so well done and clearly explained. Thank you.

I am so bad at identifying trees and the close ups of bark and leaf were really helpful

Good video. An interesting fact about alder is, Venice sits on alder foundations due to its resistance to water rot.

Thanks for distinguishing the maples. Near me is an arboretum which has ITALIAN maples (acer opalus) - the leaves like field maple but distinctly smaller. I love alders and have had my bed made out of alderwood. They are the opposite of beeches, because their roots can breathe under water, whereas beech hates having its roots in water and will not thrive. Alder woodland on marshland is called Alder Carr.

Thankx, a great little series on tree I'd. Subbed, sent over from UK Bushcraft & Wild Camping Knowledge FB group

I love the way you make your videos: you explain things so elegantly and they're really enjoyable to watch. I've been watching them one after the other. A few days ago I wouldn't have known half of the botanical terminology or descripters than I do now, nor would I have been able to distinguish between the many different tree species or identify so many edibles. Me and my partner have started compiling a list of all the wild edibles and useful plants we learn about and mapping out places in the Peak District for where we can find them. We're looking at minimising our need for commercial goods as much as possible, and so making use of this time to learn as much as we can ready for next spring. Thanks for the fantastic content! Keep up the great work! =)

Another great vid, full of stuff |I didn't know despite being a woodland manager/ecologist for most of my working life. Hoping to be helpful, here is some other stuff: My Mum and her friends in her country childhood used to eat the yew arils - they called them 'snotty gobs'. I have freaked out attendees on guided walks many times by eating a yew aril and tucking the seed under my lip until making a point of hooking it out and emphasizing how poisonous it (and other parts of the tree) are. They really are snotty, but quite sweet and if you are a hungry kid during rationing during and after WW2......... Alder wood used to be used for clog making due to it being light when dry and resistant to rot when wet. Also used to be sought after for charcoal for gunpowder making as the charcoal is pure and very friable and easy to grind down. Field maple is a good ancient woodland indicator and coppiced stools may be truly ancient. These often occur on woodland boundaries and internal banks. On external boundaries, they may have pleached stems.

Great stuff thanks. Yes I eat the yew arils, excluding the seed. I think they taste a bit like lychee :)

Fantastic video! Keep it up buddy. Subscribed.

These were great videos. A native forrest got chopped down for new builds near my house so I took a load of the wood they left. Lots of waste. I''ve been trying to identify the trees from the bark but it's hard. No way I'm touching the Yew tree - who knew trees are so deadly? Cool videos, thanks again.

Could you share the location of that massive sweet chestnut tree? Thank you

I was wondering if you'd make a video on the poplar tree in Britain, mate? It seems to be a tree that never features much in foraging information videos. I've became interested in it because there's two mushrooms that grow near that tree, the poplar fieldcap, (cyclocybe cylindracea) and the poplar bolete, (Hortiboletus bubalinus).
