Great series, thank you for putting it together, and more importantly, making it publicly available!

Outstanding video series. Regarding shagbark vs shellbark; don’t shellbark tend to hold onto their leaf rachis over the winter - much like Kentucky coffeetree - whereas shagbark drops theirs?

That is interesting. I haven't heard that before, but I will definitely keep an eye out and see if that holds true with the trees I have around here.
