This guy has lived in the good old days sampling people’s potato salads and puddings. This was a great video thanks for the content

Thank you for the clear teaching and to the point video!

Nobody makes persimmon pudding as good as my grandmother did. Loved my grandmothers cooking.

September and some have already riped fell on ground. Most are green. Is that normal or early for that? Great fun informative video. Thank you God bless

👀

thanks

Interesting! I was curious why my and another user's comments were shadow banned that were critical of Glyphosphate/Monsanto. But then I looked up NC Tree Farm program and one of their biggest corporate sponsors is Weyerhaeuser who has been helicopter spraying hundreds of millions - maybe billions of pounds of pesticides across the entire country for decades!

Just watched your video while searching for bamboo farming tips, and I am appalled by the suggestion of spraying glyphosate! You can kick down bamboo shoots as they come up, or harvest them for food, and you can sell the dried stalks to thin it all out. But spraying “forever chemicals”? Especially in land that you may want to use for farming anything edible? NO. Glyphosate is basically Agent Orange. It sterilized my father-in-law in Vietnam and gave countless others cancers and other medical issues. It is not something you want to be spreading far and wide. It stays in the soil for years, if not decades. No unringing that bell. I wish I had land with giant stands of bamboo! I’d be in business! I can’t believe someone just posted a comment an hour ago with a similar tone, and your video is a year old. Serendipity.

Being someone who was born and raised in the Crystal coast of North Carolina, I have to say how dare you want to spray an entire area with any type of chemical you should be ashamed of yourself. Bamboo has so many uses I mean, like you said you could even make fishing poles out of it not to mention, wind chimes, musical instruments we live on the coast you can even make lighthouses out of them.

Does this plant like sandy soil?

Both Hop Hornbeam and musclewood are commonly referred to as "ironwood". It is an understory tree, it is hard and is fire intolerant, has some wildlife value but oak is better for wildlife and quite often grows very crooked but not always. But while it may be used for various purposes such as mallets, or posts, it has very little commercial value. Try getting a logger to come harvest your ironwood instead of your oak or walnut,,, NOT GONNA HAPPEN. So for the most part it is considered a "weed tree" and killed out in managed timber.

Please don’t use glyphosphate it doesn’t work I’ve tried and you’re just poisoning the groundwater and wildlife and yourself. Bamboo is immune to herbicides. Imagine using that also on an acres worth of bamboo? You have to cut all the canes down and just keep mowing. Keep knocking the shoots down as they appear. The rhizomes will starve and rot. It can take a few years. Eventually the shoots will be so puny and short they it will die from lack of sunlight or by competition from other plants. Or wait 20- 100 years and it will flower and die on its own. The seeds are rarely viable and unlikely to germinate. This is why bamboo technically is not invasive. Your neighbor will think it is if you plant it on your fence line without a plan to manage it. Not all bamboo are aggressive, even the running kind. Even with golden bamboo, which is maybe the most aggressive, it probably took decades of neglect to form that grove and was probably planted in more than one spot. A single plant of a running bamboo only spreads so far maybe 20-100 feet depending on the species then stops. It doesn’t keep spreading forever.

THANK YOU!!! Very much for creating this short and effective video lesson! Perfect for learning the difference between the 3 maple trees! Truly helpful! Thanks!

Glyphosate is dangerous for you and the environment ! Monsanto garbage !

Thanks, we now have these things in Australia, they are a nightmare.

Hi sir how can i apply this job could you send me emails please

Up until now I knew about bamboo. Mother Nature!

And how mych should it cost for surveyors to flag property boundaries on 110 acers

What is difference in the main trunk between English and poison (which is a protected native plant)? Does the herbicide have to be applied within 5 min of cut or is it anytime?

It does kill trees

Whys it here then lol

I like that you mention the notching is is a witness to the line (in the next part).

My dad split the persimmon seeds and showed us the knife fork and spoons, We little boys loved it. We were told those were the tools used by the little forest elves. Thank you for this video !

Can you tell me a few of its uses? We have a lot of these trees and i mean a lot of them around here

I have stood under the shade of poison ivy before, and thought it was the shade from the tree" Quote of the day

You can find that in native lands, look up the ojibwe they used it for everything even trade😊

I found some ginseng once growing among this plant

Thank you for this solution

American Hornbeam. We use it for tool handles, and hames and whipple trees in harness riggings.

Thanks

wee call that a hornbeam tree

This is useful information. Thank you kind and knowledgeable sir!

Thank you for sharing

I love them

I love your logo! Great tutorial, God bless.

very interesting. Never knew ironwood grew in the US. Always heard it was from Africa

Did you have a phone number to give you a call? I provide forestry services around that area

Nice.

Pretty sure your hickory shell is a japanese heartnut. Good info in this video otherwise. In regards to the location of hard mast plantings, I've heard it said that hard mast is better planted near bedding areas rather than in food plots. Do you find this to be true, or does it not matter much?

is iron wood good firewood

Thanks Red

Thanks for good advice

We have a similar wood in Fiji, our word for iron is derived from the wood actually. (So kind of a naming in reverse to ironwood) Our word for iron actually has the word 'wood' in it because its named after our 'wood-iron'. The tree is very strong especially when its small so at only 3 inches thick you'll only notice it when it rattles your chainsaw or dings your machete and really hurts the elbow. You have to cut it at an angle (like bamboo) or it won't be a good day for your cutting tools. Most people don't know about it outside of the villages. Very good for walking sticks and I've even fashioned a wooden screw driver out of it. ha ha ha.

What's their root system like? Asking because of septic system.

I use aluminum signs, and purple paint.

Great video and commentary

Always the educator! Thx Rhett

I tell yall need to catch the algorithm. Definitely deserve more subscribers.

Unfortunately you just have to spray it. It’s an annual - I got rid of mine and now native shrubs are growing

I grow these on my farm. I want to do better in my operation. I’m working with another military veteran in my operation. Veterans Farm of NC is also interested in growing them. I currently have six five gallon buckets of fresh 2021 seeds I harvested.
