Good morning Adam. Thank you , This is important to know.

[@blessedbees4247]

Thank you for this video Adam ! I love trees, and thanks to you, I’m learning more about them. The white pine is also one of my favorites. I love the bark, the leaves, but most of all the smell. I know that sounds odd but the white pine has such a wonderful smell and I could sit with them all day. I’m looking forward to your course on trees, and I am sure I will learn so much about my tree friends in this course as I have on all your other courses. Thank you for taking the time to compile all the information featured on your courses ! I hope others will sign up for them because they offer so much information that can not be found anywhere in other courses. Your courses are so interesting and keep one’s attention unlike others who, well, are boring and have a tendency to drone on and on, never getting to what’s important. Again, thank you Adam, for all the work you put into your videos and courses !

THANK YOU! Terrific information to begin my journey into tree identification. At 78, it is about time!

[@thomastuorto9929]

64 here & I learned a few watching this. I'm from the NE also& see these trees regulary. Also got a few decent photos of the birds feeding on them berry types just before & during our recent snow event.

[@terryqueen3233]

When I was a land surveyor we had to do tree identification sometimes for boundary and or Corner identification and this is what we had to learn the same thing you're teaching right now because of course we surveyed all season

[@randyvanhille2201]

I'm trying to get employeesld by a company who IDs trees I need of trimming for power lines etc. Knowing the details will help me. This old boy scout has to dust off knowledge

[@debbiehenri345]

Excellent video. I used to work for a conifer specialist when a teenager, but I'd lost the knack of identification decades ago - as I moved through different fields of horticulture. Only in recent years, when I started to grow different conifers from seed, and birds joyously pulled all the labels out of the seed trays, did I find that it's becoming more necessary to know what on Earth that 25ft tree is in my garden. The only seed variety I could identify on sight was a rare New Mexican Fir (the seeds costing a - ahem - packet). The others were a bunch of unknowns until now, where I can at least make a start by identifying the family. Thank you!

[@johncrocker4209]

I live in Cedartown. I have tried my whole life to plant and encourage cedars to actually grow here because most were harvested a century before I was born.

[@pritch3426]

Highly recommend practicing this on winter hikes. Very easy to do when all the deciduous trees are dormant.

[@briancarlisle320]

Hi Adam, I live in central Ohio and wanted to say thank you for all the information you pack into your videos. I started foraging for edibles and medicinals last year and continue to learn more all the time from you. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Angry-Harry]

Thank you, Adam. You're always a fountain of outdoor wisdom and I appreciate all that you do. I really regret missing a visit you made to Michigan while I was in the MMHC. This video is very applicable to my hunting grounds around Holly where until now i've relied heavily upon the tree and limb shapes to distinguish the finer details to ID one conifer from another. This is really going to help me run my mouth even more about the land as I walk around with friends and family 😆

[@spectatrix5003]

Another excellent video full of valuable information, plus some great nature shots. Thank you, Adam!!!

[@saner6888]

You make it easy to learn , thanks for being a fantastic resource !💛

[@Chrisamos412]

Thank you Adam for your expertise, with your website and KZbin channels we have learned so much! We live in Southern Lancaster county, and Chester county, so we can’t help being partial to this beautiful green state. Just like the old PA license plates used to read, “You’ve Got A Friend In PA”, you sir, make it an honest reality! Thanks again brother!

[@JohnSmith-lz5oh]

Man this is an amazing video. You’ve improved so much in your lecturing skills!

[@zippitydoodah5693]

Wow. You've come a long ways. This was an awesome video, Adam! Well done! Succinct, informative, well-edited, with zero wasted time for the viewer. I've been subscribed for quite a while, but I am hitting the notification bell after this one. I want to see more. That was good teaching.

[@morninggloriesmoonstone6125]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are wonderfully approachable and relatable as well as super, super informative. I have learned so much from watching. Thanks again from a fellow 'Burgher!

[@joevuzekaz2030]

Very important and educational blog

[@YooperInTraining]

I grew up in central Indiana, where the Eastern Red Cedar was the only native conifer. Since moving to Upper Michigan I have gotten much better with conifers, but have always struggled with the difference between spruce and fir. Thanks

[@AdeebaZamaan]

Thank you, again. I learn so much from your beautiful and instructive videos.

[@NickCombs]

The Douglas fir (in central Oregon coast) has small leaf bases like the spruce in this video. It also does not exhibit the seed cone behavior you mentioned. It's cones are very similar to the spruce as well. The leaves are flat though, and they do show the white lines very faintly.

[@sapelesteve]

Terrific tree ID video as usual Adam! Good to see you posting again! 👍👍🌲🌲

[@melb.6617]

Your knowledge knows no limits. Fascinating!

[@scottbeard5039]

Great video, I really like how you explain the basic parts of the tree and what to look for. i have been an ISA arborist for 13 yrs and have gotten by with just the basic tree I D . But for me it's time to push my self to the next level, and really understanding more of the details of what i'm looking at. it will make me a better arborist ! So i look forward to taking your tree I D class ! Scott

[@kait4586]

I always look forward to your videos! You’ve helped me learn so much through my foraging journey! Thank you!

[@beautifulvictory4eva185]

like always thank you Adam

[@Exploreyourlife88]

Awesome analysis. Love from bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

[@alanhyt79]

Thank you. I grew up in Forks, WA, and it seems like all of us knew how to especiate evergreens, which we had plenty of. Since then, I noticed that other folks tend to call all evergreens pine trees. "It's on the limb of that pine tree." "Huh? I only see Doug Firs. Where is the pine?" This video should be mandatory viewing in schools.

[@MrSoccerstar323]

such a solid video, thank you from a trail runner with a weird tree hunting passion

[@glennquagmire1747]

I use juniper berries in stews,meats and tea., good video 👍

[@nevisstkitts8264]

Excellent video! The genera-osity of your content is greatly appreciated.

[@MetatronsWing]

Thank you Adam, I always learn something when I watch your videos if not more than one thing!😁💙💙💙

[@PAOutdoorsCouple]

Another fantastic video! Thank you Adam, cheers!

"Adam Haritan and the Tufted Clusters!" sounds so much better anyway

[@mariatorres9789]

Probably the best vid for tree id that I've seen. Well done.

[@Lue_Ghosted]

Outstanding presentation of information 👍 📹 Thank you.

[@annademo]

Fir trees do make the most beautiful Christmas trees. Our favorite is the Fraser Fir.

[@PABrewNews]

Had one last year, i fully agree! Cheers

[@mint_soup9743]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your time is appreciated!

[@eliascheiban8310]

Excellent concise presentation! Thank you 😊

[@joseymour2574]

Thanks for your informative videos, helping us understand and appreciate the world around us more. Cheers Adam!

[@blenderbenderguy]

As always...... best ever, thank you! You've reminded me to get back to the course I started.

[@neonfear]

Thanks Adam! I will definitely come back to this video. I'm confident telling the difference between pine and larch but when it comes to fir, spruce and hemlock I get stuck and haven't spent much time trying to get past that. This video has given me a real sense of hope and inspiration. Those tips about the leaf shapes are particularly useful 💚 I of course want to delve in and get to know them all beyond the genus too!

[@OG1919]

I am located in Kansas City, Missouri, and we have thousands of pine trees, many Ponderosa Pine. My plan this year is to harvest Pine Pollen Powder, as it is a superfood, and FREE in late May and early June.

[@nora-_-]

Hey Adam , good to see ya

[@RainbowSprnklz]

genuinely such an excellent video, exactly what i was looking for in such a polished, easy to understand package

[@TitusLivy777]

A very enjoyable video! Thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@markcummings6856]

Very informative and helpful. Thanks.

[@vanderfleet-martin]

Great video, I will definitely watch this again.

[@asmith7876]

White pine tea is the best! Thanks, great video.

[@fabianc1875]

Thanks for this video, very concise and informative! I believe there are at least a couple of genus that were missing: Cedrus and Pseudotsuga, which in my understanding are also conifers but with slight differences from the rest. It’ll be great if you can make another video explaining those as well. Thanks!

[@RUAChristian]

Well-done and very I formative video! Here in Northern California some of my favorites are the coastal redwood and giant sequoia (in the Sierra Nevada). Also the magnificent Sugar cone Pine (Pinus lambertiana).

[@woodsy3495]

My bald cypress in the yard here in Illinois also has cones and is deciduous.

[@snowman7070]

Christmas Tree 🌲 types come to mind watching this video. ⛄

[@salamlawrence9658]

I am quite fond of my local conifer, the Douglas firs (Pseudotsuga). They are often left out, but they can be hard to tell apart from other trees. They are a weird middle child tree. They are not firs, more closely related to Larchs. But they look like a cross between a fir and hemlock.

[@danbev8542]

Excellent, excellent video! Thank you so much. I needed this refresher! I’m going to look into your class!

[@kevinlewis8137]

This is really great. What a well put together video. Well done!

[@nealcassidy7072]

Thanks, Adam

[@Onemoarblockplz]

These are one of the things I haven't perfected. My grandfather knew every deciduous, giving me that knowledge, but lacking of conifers in our forest. Thank you Adam 😇

[@cindyjackson108]

Thank you so much for this video. I learned so much about each of the trees identifying properties. 😊

[@LongDefiant]

Thanks much!!! 😊

[@alexandrafuentes254]

The music at the end😌

[@ElenaHaskins]

So well presented. Thank you.

[@petitknightcreations7431]

Excellent video, and very informative! Thank you for all the hard work you do.

[@elliotw5918]

Dude! Im gonna enroll in that course. I have some acreage that ive been working on under a forestry plan and this course sounds like something i have needed in my life!

[@commonconservative7551]

a favorite uncle might appreciate some tags on all the little growing things in his greenbelt backyard, bring the local daycare kids to see nature documented

[@fulminatus6241]

I couldn't help but notice your website avoids all mention of how much the course costs.

[@user-ch7mn1kj4b]

This is a fantastic video Adam. You’re right about needing to watch this a few times. This one will go in my saved for watching later. Many times over.

[@notmyworld44]

Thank you! This video answered many questions for me.

[@11sesquialtera]

Love your videos….I still have a few more of the mushroom series to complete

[@barrywarren4221]

Thanks Adam, I been following you for a few years now, I enjoy your videos and learning about my land here in SE Pennsylvania.

[@Forevertrue]

An excellent video that I will have to watch 3 or 4 times but filled with great info. Thank You Adam!!!

[@dreamtoreality9892]

All I know is they are all beautiful and smell amazing.

[@wholeNwon]

Added to "favorites". Thanks.

[@jotv7224]

not only does watching it more than once help. go out into the woods. once you make the connection in real life it sticks!

[@bikerbrandon1]

love watching all your videos because i know im ALWAYS going to learn something. and it will be done so with the most thorough explanation and i appreciate all the work you put into these videos.

[@SonniesGardenPA]

So much good info. Thanks for sharing.

[@kathleenmead9259]

thank you

[@randyvanhille2201]

I live in California and watch all your videos just to hear your break down. I'm curious if you recommend anyone in CA to follow with your simular approach

[@kenycharles8600]

Thank you.

[@PhilEvansOnline]

Thanks for sharing.

[@deafviolinist]

3 minutes and it's so helpful I want to tell somebody

[@paulkenney4021]

love conifers

[@DRTMaverick]

Saved this to my favorites!

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Thanks Adam! I saved this video to study. You gave very clear id tools to practice.

[@carmenryan1453]

Your very informative. I always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@FranciscoJesus9]

the video everyone needed

[@StAndrew65]

Another great video, Adam. I'm surprised that you didn't mention the yew, or are they more of a shrub/bush. Are they even native to North America? I've always been fascinated with their berries.

[@twistnshout3031]

I love my hemlock. I want more on my property but they're hard to find.

[@YogaWithCriss]

Very clear and well explained, thanks! What about the cedrus? I mean real cedar, not Eastern With or Red Cedar, which for I saw in your video, are actually Junipers....

[@b1gje55e]

Don't forget about Cypress.

[@markcummings6856]

And Cedars. Edit: I see that they technically in the Juniper Family.

[@txwarriorbride5112]

great info!

[@J.A.Smith2397]

If I remember correctly, white pine was used for the kings navy mast... look into it

[@hayal1693]

Thank you what are the roots growth.

[@drrahilakurdi5943]

Good information ❤

[@kemohere]

Thanks bro

[@RSHongKong]

Nice video as usual. We don't have hemlocks here in the UK other than a few ornamental plants occasionally but the majority of the information is nonetheless relevant here too.

[@larrykent2521]

Great video. But why does it feel like this is non-sync sound?

[@antonioespecializados9586]

Great!

[@michaellane4762]

Here is an interesting fact. Gin is made from Juniper Berries. People have been using plants from nature for Many years and not just for medicine. Although some may consider Gin a medicine. Mike

You mentioned Norfolk Spruce is that the same as what we call a Norfolk Pine?
