Making a Map of the US Out of Wood From Each Official State Tree - Compilation

[@Justinthetrees]

Getting lots of comments about the format: as I mention in the intro it’s vertical because I made this series for TikTok and after joining KZbin I got a lot of requests to add a compilation here. But good news, I'm making brand new bigger and better map where we get to choose 50 all new trees! If you liked this series this one is even better, trust me.

As a non-American I actually learnt a lot from this video with the main one being that you guys have state trees.

[@trevormims7939]

There are a lot of state symbols with almost every state has a state bird, fish, flower, motto, and of course tree. The reason why the states do this is to appreciate and pay homage to the local nature.

[@EcstaticTeaTime]

Here's another: Washington's state stone is petrified wood, which is what Venice, Italy is sitting on. It was an island built on a large pile of wood, essentially, and so as it has petrified, the city has sunk. I wouldn't wait much longer to visit, if you haven't. And Seattle once burnt to the ground just before the 1900s. The city rebuilt upon the ruins and you can take a tour of some of them. Since the pacific coast interacts with the Juan de fuca plate that has been overdue for sixty years to have a massive earthquake, I also wouldn't wait long to visit here because the city will slide off into the sound.

[@BackYardScience2000]

We also have state reptiles, amphibians, mammals, butterflies, songs, mottos, state "wild animals" (KY's is the gray squirrel), horse breeds (or at least KY does), insects, beverages, dances, fossils, food, rocks, gems, etc. You name it, we have a place for it as a states whatever. We even have state politicians. Though, they're also usually the state morons, as well. So......

[@wolfaja755]

The United States is called the United States because it is just a bunch of states coming together. This means layers of governments from local to state to federal and is why each state votes to elect representatives for the federal government. As the US grew in size things like trees, birds, and flowers because extremely important since things like fedex and easy access to medicine wasn’t available and these were remedies to a lot of problems. With the development of railroads and other vehicles transportation of resources became a lot easier which meant the dependence on local resources generally decreased. Geography plays an important role in development and causes things like state trees to exist especially when the country develops and moves away from local resource dependency.

[@maggzm4258]

Can I just say, I so appreciate you always mentioning indigenous people and their involvement on biology, identification, and their connection with the trees. It is so nice to see people being educated and learning about the contributions made by and still being made by native people.

[@Kellog888]

Youd be suprised how much of america represents the natives perhaps in a bittersweet manner for example illinoise and chicago are both native words yet there is a very small representation of them in the state and practically none in the city

I'm visiting VT right now and I'm also an EMT. My favorite tree fact about the Sugar Maple is actually about the maple syrup. I go to a lot of diabetic emergencies and those are usually due to low blood sugar.

This is a great wood project book kzbin.infoUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.

As a Native Washingtonian I gotta say even though the western hemlock is a lovely tree, the state tree at least to me is still the western red cedar. It's far too important to my tribe and I see it far too often to think otherwise! Just like my grandmother I like to collect fallen branches and dry them to burn the boughs to release tension, nothing else has the ability to relax me like it does and I've been obsessed with the smell my whole life.

The smell of cedar is amazing; they are definitely beautiful trees. Even walking in a stand of them will give you a similar effect.

[@EcstaticTeaTime]

Okay, I just looked it up. Apparently, we were going to make the western red cedar our tree but our state representative at the time said the western hemlock was the backbone of the lumbar industry and better represented the state. Also, we were shamed by Oregon into picking one. Who knew being a state settled for lumbar meant we weren't thinking of proclamating an official tree post WWII (sarcasm, we were probably tired.) leg.wa.gov/Symbols/pages/default.aspx

The whole area surrounding the playground didn't even grow any grass because the ground was covered in a thick layer of those long needles. We'd braid them or weave bracelets with them and I am so happy to learn how long humans have been practicing such an art for.

I thought how cool it would be to own something like this but realized it would probably cost like $50,000 minimum and show likely go into the White House someday as a piece of art. So ridiculously cool man!

This is the most Oregon/Washington way to map anything out ever and I love it

As a native Ohioan I’d like to point out that there is one thing we do with the Buckeye that you didn’t mention We make chocolate candies in its likeness. They’re usually balls of peanut butter with a chocolate layer on the outside and the peanut butter peaking out at one part to make it look like a buckeye, my grandma likes them but I’ve always thought they were way too sweet

I wonder if the us territories have trees too! That would make for a cool follow up!

[@cmdreggsmmm7208]

Absolutely amazing and I loved every second I watched really helps time go bye and open up knowledge about the trees of the world I love it it’s inspirational and makes me want to see more what’s would the uk 🇬🇧 look like make of wood or France or Africa I really like the concept and there’s so much that can be done I love it keep inspiring people you’re amazing

[@user-wy5ox3sz2b]

as a fellow dogwood fan, i love when i see one with it's very beautiful flowers and bark that sometimes it's funny. I don't know many other trees as i have never really payed attention. You are awesome, thank you for this amazing content! ❤

[@glitchxero4687]

This was a great idea for a series, the map turned out absolutely beautiful, the videos are interesting and informative, and the whole thing from the editing to the audio to the states themselves are all really well produced. You absolutely deserve all the notoriety you've earned from this project.

41:44 The plane tree. It’s very subtle, but it is a very nice scent that you can smell ever so slightly when walking underneath a group of them.

2:40 As an Oregonian, there's a cute legend about the douglas fir. It's called "The Douglas-Fir and the Mouse" Legend says that a long time ago there was a large fire in the forests of the west. Many animals were running around frantically trying to escape the flames. Tiny mice, not fast enough to outrun the fire, were trying to find shelter in various trees. The mice approached many trees asking for their help and were continuously denied. Finally they approached the large and mighty Douglas fir tree and asked if they could take shelter amongst its branches. The Douglas fir agreed to help the mice and allowed them to hide in its cones. The mice survived the fire, and to this day, if you examine a Douglas fir cone you can see the tails of the mice sticking out of the scales of a cone.

As a Rhode Islander, i appreciate you trying to give at least the indication of the bay that is our state's most distinctive feature, but is frequently lost at these scales.

was so proud to see pecan up there on that map until I was gutted by california... IT IS NOT FAIR HOW GORGEOUS THAT WOOD IS COMPARED TO OURS, THIS IS UNJUST

[@tunakid_instruments]

i like how you can gradually see more and more stickers on the thing he uses to cut the wood

[@kaiyadiestler9907]

What i really love about magnolia trees are that they are one of the few species of trees that have been around so long in Earth's history that their main pollinators are beetles rather than bees, because magnolias evolved at a time before bees were around. I think it's so crazy how amazing trees are, and how so many of the species we know and love have been around since before modern humans were even here!

[@Tiredperson58]

Loved the video. I can't believe I just spent an hour and a half listening to tree facts.

[@lslvajda]

Thank you so much for your video. It was beautiful seeing the outcome of all of those trees and it come together as the United States. Thank you again. Please keep up the great work.

[@texansfan0528]

I'm from Texas and some of my best memories are going to the park with my dad and picking pecans, taking them home, and watching my mom make her famous southern pecan pie. Great video! Love the pecan tree.

[@GoldenPants7540]

The Douglas fir smells soo good, it's amazing to walk through a forest in the morning, after it rained, the smell is so good!!

[@saraa3418]

Growing up in Staten Island, NY we have a place called the Conference House which played an important role in the Revolutionary War, but I always was struck by a large old tree out in front that predated the house. It was humbling to think of Benjamin Franklin and General Howe meeting under that tree and all the history it saw.

[@namesareboring2009]

Idea: you should make a globe were each country is made up of it’s native tree! That would be really cool! Also, I loved the video, I enjoyed learning about my home state and current state!
