Making tree flavored crystal candy (and a 100 year old fencepost bowl)

[@socpancake]

okay so you definitely deliver all the tree-based content we're here for, but man that scrub jay with its moment of introspection really stole the spotlight this time. (post-video edit: but is this your most fun project yet? heck yea. and I'm sure mr birb would agree. way to honour the old farm!)

[@WonkyWater-YT]

Man that ‘What's in that Pile?’ theme always gets me.

[@chastenconway225]

Me too

[@AlwaysSeverusAndLily]

I legit catch myself singing it when I'm looking through my laundry or any other pile

Truly one of the best jingles of our time

[@toxicboa202]

I've never seen so much passion, honesty, and transparency with a creator who just jumped in without being blindsighted by money or views, you're a one of a few gems on this platform

[@sexygirlmax2019]

fr! bro has nearly 1mil subs but hes still humble as hell. And while I will ALWAYS watch sponsors and not skip through it so they can get their money they need, since im not able to financially support anyone...Sometimes its nice to see someone doing something out of pure passion that they do for a hobby instead of monetizing it

[@rosemcbride1813]

As an old woman in the woods I gotta say one more time I love your stuff. Every single time. Like your full videos best. Thanks.

[@nevearlinsmeyer1836]

I think this was my favorite what's in that pile episode yet! Great work, I truly loved it.

[@Justinthetrees]

Thanks! I agree!!

[@thebogsofmordor7356]

As somebody who is 100 years old, I can confirm that this fence post is also 100. I'd recognize it anywhere.

I get Bob Ross vibes from your videos. They're so relaxing and positive. Thanks

[@wendynordstrom3487]

There are so many fun parts to this video! From the fence parts, to the bowl carving, the chatty scrub jay, to the candy making, I think this is my favorite video you've made so far! SCIENCE!! ❤❤❤❤

[@bloopbloop9687]

I love the vibe of your videos, always so relaxing. I'm actually planting a few hundred seeds around my family's farm here, so hopefully in a few years we'll have some nice dark walnut trees to enjoy

[@xolzir]

I love that you are making more long form content lately! It's always a good day when you post, it amazes me with what you can do!

I've been really stressed the past few days, thinking through some big life decisions, and opening youtube to find not just a new Justin the Tree Man video, but a Justin the Tree Man video with chatoyancy on the thumbnail!? Exactly what I needed

[@Arcnaught]

Most fun project yet if you ask me. I just love Juniper.

[@amberbydreamsart5467]

Oh man, I love how that bowl turned out!! I was just looking at some old trees in my grandparents' yard thinking of you - they have an old, old black walnut tree that we used to harvest from to feed the squirrels over the winter. Thank you for all of your videos giving us more information on the amazing giants in our yards!

[@aidensteel8024]

I love finding out why my redbud tea looked so sad after the season for them is over. In all seriousness great video

[@Justinthetrees]

Ah it’s still mid-season out here! Some helpful info for you next year at least haha!

These videos may not always find me at just the right time, but boy, when they do... mwah 🤌!

[@king.jarjerk4201]

That scrubjay is so incredibly based.

[@mitchgillilan]

Did you say that was your grandpappy's land at one time? What a beautiful place! Definitely has the Old American West vibe out there... The Juniper bowl came out great!

I’m glad to see juniper getting the love it deserves, top tier wood and smells amazing

[@samwiserowe1834]

Your appreciation for the imperfections and beauty of the wood are so charming. I really enjoy your videos!

Oh how I waited for you to say "Chatoyancy" 😂 you really have conditioned me with that, congrats!

[@goosey021]

What an action packed addition of what’s in that pile!! Please continue to bring in more content on this channel. It’s what I look forward to the most on my deployment! Especially the attention to our winged friends in the sky!! Would love to see more content related to your fascination of birds! We have mourning doves here in Iraq just like back in the states, but sing a completely different song than what we are accustomed to in the US!!! Keep rocking it, partner!!

[@sheldonhatch8255]

this is definitely one your prettier projects, and videos in general! the old farm has so many nice wildflowers growing in it and that candy in the bowl looks gorgeous!

[@hellozup]

This was fun to watch and jam packed with interesting information about junipers.. Thanks for sharing them with us

[@afirewasinmyhead]

I, too, am firmly on the side of pro-juniper. 🌲💕 And redbuds!!! The cherry blossoms and apple blossoms have passed but the redbuds are hanging on. Those candies came out so wonderful. 😊

[@craighudson1827]

Bowl came out super great! I was super surprised it wasn't punky on the inside. Guess it shows just how resilient juniper is.

[@catinthechat01]

That Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay (had to look it up) made some excellent points and their singing is just beautiful. Those fence posts didn't look like they'd yield anything to my eye and I love that you proved me wrong. Thank you for another great video!

[@3SmoothYoda3]

Love that shape!

[@naolink.]

I am watching the video, and while i watch i opened WoW to play a little and let me say, the video with the music in the background while Justin is shaping the wood, is something else ♥

[@jodilea144]

Very cool! The bowl is beautiful and I didn’t know I could eat my lovely redbud blossoms! I need to make both candies. 😊

[@bumblebeevie]

Not only was that bowl beautiful but it’s always nice to find another pro-juniper person. The candy looked tasty, and you know I had to pause to read what you put for the scrub jay. I’ve gotta say, I wholeheartedly agree with that bird lol

Man, did I need this. An absolute treasure of a video, love the vase, and the message hit me hard. I was literally knitting as I watched this, and I realized that through my entire 2023, I don't think before that knitting project, I had ever made something...just to *make something.* Definitely about to spend some time goofing off with yarn like I used to, and starting off the new year with a little more hope. Thanks, man ❤

as an australian, its insane to me how close some people live to mountains. ive never never been on a large mountain, in a rainforest, or at a large canyon before. ive seen some pretty big creeks, large hills, and a huge desert, but god i wish i could visit america, canada, europe etc.

Affectionate sidenote: dioecious and monoecious are pronounced die-eeshus and mono-eeshus :) they're funky words but I dig them, they mean "two houses" and "one house" respectively.

This was great and now I also have a new kind of candy to try making. Random side note: Blueberries and Red Cabbage have a chemical that changes color in the same way. I bet a blueberry variant of the candy would work out ok.
