In my hometown, every east/west street is named after a tree. I grew up as the last generation of "feral" children, running the woods during the day, only returning home at sunset. I felt as if the trees were watching over me and I would make stories of their lives and all the things they may have seen in their stoic state. Still as an adult, I feel most grounded in the woods. Oak trees feel commanding and wise, anchors of the forests. This is such a lovely video! Thank you ♡

We have some beautiful old oaks in the Southern California Mountains. We almost bought a home in the foothills with an oak that covered the whole backyard. That beauty shaded the whole house. It was 104 degrees outside the day we looked at the house. But, in the backyard under the shade of the old tree, it was 75 degrees. Boy, I would have loved that house just for that tree!

I too grew up like the OP. What a wonderful thing it was! It's so sad that that isn't possible now, although most of what we hear is American news, not Canadian. I had some magical times that I remember so clearly, just wandering around, and if I needed a washroom where there was none, we just knocked on any door. I met a wonderful couple that way, and I always went back to visit them afterwards. I couldn't have been any older than 7 at the time. The only time I was ever scared was when I was acosted by a slightly older boy, but he didn't actually hurt me. We had trees, many fields, lots of bush, and a golf course nearby. We had picnics on the greens, and were never bothered by anyone. There was also a community centre with a day program, and in winter they had a canteen, washrooms, hockey rinks, a free skating area, cross country skiing, and a huge sliding hill. The parents in the area took turns taking care of it, cleaning bathrooms, manning the canteen, and maintaining the ice rinks. What a wonderful place to be a child! The houses were right within a park called Wildwood Park, with 3 playgrounds in it. It's still a wonderful area in Winnipeg Manitoba, and if I still lived in Winnipeg I would want my kids to grow up there too, although I'd keep a much closer eye on them, and go exploring with them in the semi wild places that still exist there, including an area of bush called The Witchy Path. My cousin's adult son lives there now with his family. I have such wonderful memories of that place! The trees are still the most memorable part of it. Most are elms, and they have been a bit affected by Dutch Elm Disease. We always shaved a ring of the surface bark around them about 5 inches wide, and applied a sticky substance called Tanglefoot to them, to prevent the disease. Elms were planted everywhere in the cities of Eastern Canada, because they were considerred the most beautiful, but sadly that gave the bugs that attack elms a monoculture to thrive in. They were also periodically attacked by Forest Tent Caterpillars, and other pests, but because home owners and the city were vigilant, they are still thriving now, 50 years later. There are oaks too, and several other types, and it's still just an amazing place! The beauty of the trees is stunning.

The oldest ones are the hollow ones. It's a naturaly stronger shape as the roots retreat...the tree goes into it's final hollow phase.

I live in a home that sits with 3 small oak groves that are arranged around it, as if each grove were a tip of a triangle with the house in the center of it. One tip is to the NW, & the nearest of the two tips that are closest to each other is to the SE, with the last tip of the triangle being directly South of the house. When I was little, I'd play for hours in the grove to the NW, as if I were one of Peter Pan's lost boys (no matter that I wasn't a boy, I didn't care). My favorite tree was one that looked like 3 trees that had fused at the bottom. I could walk up into the area where their trunks grew together like a platform. A fourth trunk had long ago been cut down by someone & served as an ideal spot for me to sit as I hid my little treasures in a hole that had formed directly to the right of my stump seat within the large fused trunk. I also loved collecting the rusty red, dusty dark yellow, & brown speckled galls. Did you know that the galls can be used to make ink? 😊

My forebears came from Cornwall to Nelson in NewZealand on the Bolton in 1842. In 1985 my husband planted 160 Scarlet Oaks down our drive, they were already a year old, now they are about 60 feet tall, trees grow fast here. They make a red rustling tunnel in the Autumn. A great investment.

I live in the US and my town is Front Royal ( a rather odd name) . The explanation is that when they needed to raise a group of soldiers. They were trying to train the local bumpkins who didn’t know their right from their left side, so the drill Sargent would say “ front ( face) the Royal oak, to tell them directions. From what I can tell , Front Royal, Va is the only place with that name in the world.

I love Oak tree's two year's ago i picked up 2 acorns that had fallen off a beautiful young oak tree which was planted to mark Queen Elizabeth's golden jubilee and planted them in two little pot's to see if i could grow them over winter and i did i now have two young beautiful baby Oak tree's growing together I've named them Tristan and Isolde and i hope they will be together forever.

oooo how beautiful! We have Walnut, Mediterranean Pine, Elm and Sweet Chestnut here... it's been interesting learning about these trees I knew nothing about (except Mother Elm, Elms are very special to both me and Marc), and watching them change through the seasons :)

What a wonderful, informative video.…Your voice is the perfect accompaniment ….History, fable, legend….whimsy (New sub)

One of mine too :)

lady Jane Grey was not a rival of Elizabeth, but Mary the First of England (the queen who had Jane executed) Jane was a protestant like Elizabeth the first, but King Edward could not bypass Mary for Elizabeth in the line of succession to to preserve protestantism in England so he looked to the Grey line which was descended from Henry the 7th and Elizabeth of York.

Yep, I realised when I had uploaded .... what a mistake ooof!! BUT by the time I realised and saw your comment it was too late.... If it was a shorter episode I'd have taken it down and re-edited/re-recorded and re-uploaded, but it takes hours and I just don't have time at the mo. So, what I've done is add an Edit note in the description. Thanks for the heads up :)

What a wonderful video!! Lovely visuals too. Your voice is very much like Joanne Fletcher's (the Egyptologist).

Oh I LOVE her so much!! Thank you so much for your kind words. :)

I seem to remember a tale of a man who was murdered and his body hid inside of a hollow oak tree. Many years later, a farmer passing the oak saw the apparition of a man commanding him to free him from the oak. The farmer comes back with an axe and starts to chop at the base of the tree when the hollow cavity is opened and the skeletal remains of the man were found. The tree was never touched, or it's wood or branches used for anything as it was said that anything made from it would have bad luck with it or would be accompanied by the spirit of the man.

Alpine. Years back 1978 on my drive up to camp Barrett adult fire fighting camp. These beautiful oaks had that life long effect on me. They humbled a macho guy for sure, a kind of medicine.

The trees, and certain ones, have powerful medicine. I know this too :)
