안녕하세요 Algae입니다. 시드니오 님, 좋은 말씀 남겨주셔서 감사합니다 :) 참나무란, 참나무목 참나무과 참나무속(Quercus)에 속하는 수종(樹種)을 통틀어 일컫는 말입니다. 국내에는 낙엽활엽수 (e.g. 갈참나무, 졸참나무, 떡갈나무, 신갈나무, 굴참나무, 상수리나무)와 상록활엽수 (e.g. 가시나무, 붉가시나무, 종가시나무, 졸가시나무)가 존재하며, 이들의 만드는 종자(열매)를 일컬어 도토리라고 부릅니다. 최근 정원수 혹은 가로수로 사용하기 위해 도입된 외래종 루브라참나무, 대왕참나무 등의 수종 또한 Quercus에 속하며, 이들의 종자 또한 도토리라 불립니다. 역사 혹은 문화에 관해 식품과 관련된 국내연구에서는 상수리를 다른 도토리들과 구분하여 취급하는 것은 익히 알고 있습니다. 임금님 수라상에 진상될 만큼 가장 품질 좋은 도토리묵은 상수리로 만든다는 이야기가 쉽게 검색되는 것이 그 예가 아닐가 싶습니다. 다만, 생물학적인 관점에서 상수리는 참나무의 종류 중 하나이고 그들의 종자는 도토리에 포함될 뿐입니다. 본 채널의 취지는 생물학적인 관점에서 식물을 주제로 이야기를 펼쳐나가고 있음을 인지해주시길 바랍니다. 더불어 식품과 관련된 역사에 대해서는 식견이 깊지 않기에 풍부한 이야기를 제공할 수 없음을 이해 부탁드립니다. 좋은 하루 되세요 :)

Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for watching my video :) I bought the seeds from a tea farm in Korea. If you can visit your local tea farm, you can buy fresh seeds in the fall or winter. Have a nice day :)

@@Algae_algae ooo thank you for the information, very help full! Do you know any in norway by chanse?:D

안녕하세요 Algae입니다. Kefones Kefones 님, 방문해주셔서 감사합니다 :) 해외에서는 콩나물과 숙주나물 모두 bean sprout라고 통틀어 부르는 듯 합니다. 더나아가 주로 숙주(녹두)를 주로 소비하고 콩나물(대두)은 비주류인 것 같습니다. 아무래도 100% 발아하는 경우는 드물기에, 발아하지 않은 씨앗이 부패하는 문제가 하나의 큰 사안이 아닐까 싶습니다. 가급적이면 낮은 온도에서 재배하는 것이 식중독 위험률이 낮아지기에, 여름을 피해 가을, 겨울철에 시도하는 것 권합니다. 좋은 하루 되세요 :)

안녕하세요 Algae입니다. 조스 님, 방문해주셔서 감사합니다 :) 키위의 신기함을 알려드릴 수 있어서 기쁩니다. 해외에서의 학술연구 일정이 마무리되어 귀국하게되면, 키위에 대해 보다 자세한 영상을 준비하도록 하겠습니다. 좋은 하루 되세요 :)

Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for sharing your great know-how :) I will apply your advice to prepare an improved video about walnuts and tell a better story. Have a nice day :)

Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for your question :) Never dessicate mangosteen seeds. You should soak the seeds in water or plant them in soil immediately after collecting them. The 'fibers/filaments surrounding' can be removed with nail clippers and tweezers. It will not cause any major damage if the surface of the seed is scratched. Have a nice day :)

@@Algae_algae much appreciated. Thanksss

Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for your warm interest :) Three years ago, I went abroad for academic research. I left small mangosteen seedlings at home in Korea, but my family was very bad at taking care of the seedlings. So now, only one small seedling has survived. My academic research will be finished in about three years (2026 or 2027). When I return to Korea, I plan to grow new mangosteen seedlings. At that time, I will prepare a time-lapse video, and I plan to set up a studio for filming videos of agricultural science, including a culture room and mangosteen. Have a nice day :)

Hello, this is Algae. Congratulations on your valuable experience :) The reason squirrels can act as gardeners and watchmen of the forest is because they forget where their seed storage is. The pecan seedlings you found probably started as a result of a squirrel forgetting where they stored their seeds. Pecan seedlings are quite strong. Even if some parts are broken, they will try to grow another branch and become a strong tree. I hope you grow a huge pecan tree in the future. Have a nice day :)

Yes that’s what I’ve found, the squirrels do not retrieve all of the buried nuts. I replanted the little sapling but squirrels dug it up and killed it…I am hoping to find another! I find all sorts of nature’s treasures on my property, 😁

From South Korea! Nice to meet you!

I hope it was helpful to you. Thank you!

안녕하세요 Algae입니다. Junghum Cho 님, 훌륭한 통찰을 공유해주셔서 감사합니다 :) 제시하신 의견에대해 강하게 동의하는 바입니다. 시간이 지남에 따라 중력에 의해 그리고 관수되는 물의 무게에 의해 압축됨으로써 토양내에 포함된 공극이 줄어드는 것으로 예상됩니다. 게다가 코코피트와 같은 재료는 입자가 분해되기 때문에, 화분내에서는 그 과정이 보다 가속되는 경향이 있는 듯 합니다. 이 같이 공극이 줄어드는 현상이, 매년 작물을 파종하기에 앞서 쟁기질을 하거나 화분의 흙을 갈아주는 이유 중 하나라 생각합니다. 의견 공유해주셔서 고맙습니다. 좋은 하루 되세요 :)

Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for leaving an interesting question :) I have no religion. Just researching biology and publishing academic papers is one of the reasons I live my life. Have a nice day :)

Hello, this is Algae. I'm glad you were able to successfully get blueberry sprouts :) I hope the sprouts grow into nice blueberry bushes. Have a nice day :)

Two BGM were used in the video. #1 Leaning On the Everlasting Arms - Zachariah Hickman #2 Future King of Heaven - Zachariah Hickman Thank you!

I like mulberries too~!

Hello, this is Algae. Thanks for sharing your great opinion :) you are right. There are always little worm-like creatures that are targeting the seeds. That's why shells are needed. Have a nice day :)

안녕하세요 Algae입니다. 행복상사김상만 님, 채널을 사랑해주셔서 감사합니다 :) 최근에 본업에 집중하고 있어 채널 운영이 순탄치 않은 점 사과드립니다. 해외학술연구를 마치고 귀국하게 되면, 보다 발전된 영상으로 보답드리겠습니다. 좋은 하루 되세요 :)

Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for sharing your great opinion :) The scientific name of raspberry is 'Rubus idaeus'. The scientific name of wineberry is 'Rubus ellipticus (or Rubus sp.)'. The raspberry in the video is Korean raspberry (Rubus crataegifolius). As you said, Rubus idaeus is not Rubus crataegifolius. However, Rubus crataegifolius is not Rubus ellipticus (wineberry). I think the cultural and linguistic ambiguity in naming between closely related species is one of the things that makes it difficult for me to communicate with foreign friends. In any case, plants called raspberry or wineberry belong to the genus Rubus. So I think it is okay to express it as the raspberry group or Rubus sp. In this video, I used Rubus crataegifolius to tell a story about Rubus sp. Have a nice day :)

Although I am not the person that posted this video, I will answer to the best of my ability. My knowledge is that it depends if the mulberry is male or female. To know that you have to wait and see if the tree fruits or not. I have been told it takes about 4 years although it may be shorter in my experience. I had a small tree (more like a sapling about year or 2 old)up against my house and had not realized at that time it was a mulberry. Since it was up against the house I cut it down to about a 6 in stump last year. When spring hit I noticed the leaves resembled mulberry leaves that we had when I was young so I let it be this year. And let's just say cutting it down did not affect its vigor, as it is about 12ft tall with the large leafs being about 10 inches long. I assumed that it would not fruit this year if it was female, but again I was wrong and it is fruiting nicely, although not ripe yet since it gets shaded most of the day. On the opposite side of the house there is another that it is in a very inconvenient location growing into a gate that leads to a field (with nothing in it but a little grass weeds & (the bane of my existence) Russian olive trees. But being in an inconvenient location I also cut it as much as I could, but again it came back with a vengeance and I let it be, and that one has had fruit that started to be ripe about 2 weeks ago (begining-middle of June) And it has produced a copious amount of fruit that has been enjoyed by birds, chickens, my feeder insects, my 5 year old (she's stripped every branch that she can reach of ripe fruit daily) and of course myself. I imagine we have about another week for that one to finish fruiting, and by that time the one up against the house should be in full fruit production.
