Identifying Trees in a British Woodland

[@annosborne7365]

Please bring David back for another video. Smiled all through your video. It was so beautiful with the sun coming through the leaves.

[@RichardVobes]

So pleased you enjoyed it Ann. I am sure David will come back for another video.

[@MrNas42]

Wow! A man who really knows his acorns from his conkers! What an informative video with such a knowledgeable guide. Move David please ...

[@RichardVobes]

Noted and I shall bend his arm to get him back!

[@lindakane7771]

A great watch with a very knowledgeable guide. The kind of person I'd like along on all my walks - together with a birder/naturalist/archaeologist/geologist etc.😒 Though sometimes walking on my own is the best way! What a great legacy the nursery has left. Thanks Richard and David

[@RichardVobes]

So pleased you enjoyed it Linda - David was great and I will ask him to come back and do another one. :)

[@sprattty]

Thank you! I've just started to develop an interest in identifying tree species and its good fun to see a couple of blokes rambling about in the woods looking at trees.

[@dubaidozen]

Very good and informative and your expert is hugely knowledgeable.... please do another video along same lines... I would be very interested to see

[@RichardVobes]

Great stuff - I am sure we shall. Thanks for watching!

[@MrGreatplum]

Great video - another place in Surrey to go and visit! Once again, another very knowledgeable guest :)

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks Matthew - looking forward to our next jaunt!

[@alimbo9436]

Growing up in London all my life, I yearn to be outdoors in nature, learning about and connecting with this home we call Earth. I must be getting old...

[@vestafairie]

[@oliverjh1281]

[@RichardVobes]

I am sure David will do more with me if I beg him nicely!

[@suzyh5874]

Great work, thank you :)

[@youchoosealex]

Was so going to use this in my classroom until, "These are tall buggers!" haha

[@morgidvmw0mdv]

As a kid I used to make whistles out of sycamore twigs. Ahhh Fond memories.

[@RichardVobes]

Ah yes, fond memories.

[@williamthomas7640]

Loved the video! 13 minutes flew by!

[@RichardVobes]

Great stuff.

[@hubertegg]

@@RichardVobes We will have to do another sometime.

[@colsinclair7793]

I'd love to spend a day learning from Dave.

[@RichardVobes]

He is a lovely chap.

[@Richard-hz6gc]

Lovely!

[@ramibu239]

Redwoods.grow in Northern CA & the SW corner of OR. They prefer coastal mountains, except where the Sequoias National park trees grow near the Sierra Nevadas. The tallest one recorded is 379 ft tall & they live 100's of yrs. It is quite spectacular to stand in a forest of them. The ones in the Red Wood National Forest/Park it takes several people to put their arms around to hug. Julia would be in heaven!!!🌲

[@RichardVobes]

Wow! Thanks for the info on the US redwoods - how amazing!

[@johnhorne1685]

Yes the man is correct the grounds were planted by a famous family of growers and nurserymen by the name of Waterer

[@RichardVobes]

You learn something every day!

[@cogidubnus1953]

You know you've encountered a real expert when the latin term comes more readily than the common name...you really need to introduce Julia to David! Thanks as ever Dave

[@RichardVobes]

Oh Julia knows and has met David - he comes on our regular meet up walks!

[@mantrarooms5258]

@@RichardVobes have you info on meet up walks please

[@mamtaarora9477]

Hi where I can find indigo/Azadrachat tree in Uk ,I really need for treatments

[@homunculusrexus]

How come poor old hazel didn't get a look in?

[@malcolmcog]

I hjave an I Spy book of trees from the 1960s I still use today to identify trees !

[@RichardVobes]

If only kids did that today!

[@TheRamblingsofBry]

Interesting, but I would still need to carry a book around with me, there are just too many trees [thankfully].....

[@RichardVobes]

Yes, I know what you mean - I cannot keep up with the many species!

[@jackglossop4859]

At no point when I started watching this did I expect you to say “this tree is soft enough to punch if you wanted to impress your girlfriend”. 🤣

[@markwrench6334]

4:07 would yew like to comment on that?

[@natalieoshea3263]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@colsinclair7793]

Myself& a few work mates planted about 300 trees last year around urban areas! We did a walk round few weeks back lucky if 20 remained. Frustrating as fk😡

[@RichardVobes]

Oh that is disappointing!

[@mamtaarora9477]

Azadirachta or indigo
