yesterday we were doing Woodlands surveys. it was about gauging the dominance of canopy species then looking at the understory . then at the end, you would check ground flora species .

I wasn’t prepared for group work, so I didn’t really enjoy doing that, but I had a lot of fun with the plant ID.

I could confidently identify a lot more trees now than I could do before yesterday. For example, I am now confident in telling apart sycamore, ash and beech. I also learned what a wych elm looks like  when it’s younger.

on the left is a Wych Elm, and on the right is a sycamore . You can tell it’s a Wych Elm because of the vertical stripes on the bark there make it look like it’s been washed down.

Then the right one, you can tell us a sycamore because of the scaly parts of the bark. This is what sets it apart from beech tree bark and ash bark , otherwise, it’s hard to tell the difference .

obviously you can tell what species are trees from the leaf litter, but it’s also a good skill to have to be able to identify a tree from its bark and buds.

so, for example, in this picture here, you can see the difference in the buds of ash and beech, which have very similar tree trunks . The beech tree has pointed orange buds that look like thorns from a distance , And the ash tree has small black buds that look like they are burnt. that’s a good way to remember it .

The day before that, we also went on a walk to a woodland that was famous for having a lot of red kites . I think that is the first time I saw a birch woodland, even though it was very small . It’s interesting in winter when all of the leaves are gone. How you can tell what species a tree is from the colour of the tree top branches.

for example, birch, tree tops are very red purple-ish.

Orange tips are willow

And you can always tell if a conifer is a larch in the winter, because larches are the only UK pine species that loses its leaves. It’s a deciduous conifer!

in this photo, you can see a big patch of birch trees identifiable by the red tops and among them, you can see some willow trees, then behind that you can see some coniferous trees and a patch of larch. and this is all from far away !

 

I’m really excited about how much my treeID has improved. In the left are you can see a lot of Birch again, but as we’re closer up, you can also see the yellow catkins of Hazel trees. there are also some mature holly bushes, and there’s a young oak tree on the right there .

The thinner scraggly are trees are the ones that I’m not confident on.  if I took a guess, I will probably assume they were Willow, but I didn’t get a close-up because we were walking . Anyways towards the back which you can see in the second picture, there were more Scots Pines. I also saw a variant of a Hollytree that had rounded leaves which you could cultivate into a really nice hedge .

I noticed some lovely #lindenflowers on a lime tree just off Church Street this week. I sometimes struggle to ID Lime from Hazel on leaves alone but seeing these flowers makes it unmistakable! Lovely smell and also super useful apparently - linden flowers have historically been used to treat anxiety and aid relaxation. It’s especially good for kids apparently - make an infusion and throw it in a child’s bath if you want to calm your wrestle-maniac 6 year old before bed.

Found this little cutie at work this week. I noticed that the needles came in clusters of threes, and was so mesmerized by the needles coming out of the trunk that I didn’t bother taking a picture of the canopy. The bark came in long plates.

According to my Sibley pine, needles of three and broad orange plates of bark likely place this pine in the yellow pine group. If I were to pick a species, I would have to call this a pitch pine (Pinus rigida), because it and pond pine are the only pines that have tufts of needles coming out of their trunks.

Let me know if you have other thoughts!

Who can tell me what this is? My wild guess is Magnolia, but I've never ID'd one before, so I don't really know what to look for. #treeid #mysterytree #angiosperm #treeflower (at Guilderland, New York)

My son and I used some of the oak leaves collected at the weekend to make some leaf prints in air dry clay. It’s great to do this to examine the detail of the leaf especially its outline/ shape and edge, midrib and veins. I also ran this activity with a group of 8-9 year olds the other week (I’m also volunteering occasionally at a Forest School) and they adored it. I think using white clay really helps to bring out the detail once it’s dried. #natureart #nature #leafid #leafidentification #clayart #oak #trees #treeid #forestschoolideas #forestschooluk #forestschool #outdooreducation #outdoorlearning #hackneyoutdoors #getoutdoors #urbantreefestival #urbanforestschool https://www.instagram.com/p/CPAyYpOntnX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some interesting trees and cacti at loro parque, tenerife. Feel free to add amd tag what you know.

Characteristic bark of a flowering dogwood (Cornus florida). . . Identifying trees can be difficult in the winter because many of them don’t have leaves. Learning the bark can be an antidote to this problem, and it also serves you year-round. Use the cold season to upgrade your dendrology skillz! ❄️🌲🕵️‍♀️ . . . #treetyoself #trees #plants #dendrology #nature #natural #outdoors #forest #forestry #hiking #woods #treatyourself #winter #treesofchattanooga #chattanooga #utc #utchatt #bark #treebark #floweringdogwood #treeID #greyscale #coldseason #dogwood (at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_TsF7Ah6A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18focm830xyrr
