These Trees Stumped Me

I set out to identify every tree with my dog in this park… and it was going great—until one completely stumped me. Hear the hesitation in my voice as I'm approaching trees that I'm not completely sure of. Turns out I'm only human and don't know everything! From massive western red cedars to giant sequoias, bald cypress trees, lightning-struck trees, and even diseased hemlocks full of woodpecker damage, this walk turned into a full-on tree identification challenge. Even making up bird names along the way! 🌲 In this video: Identifying trees in the Pacific Northwest Signs of sick and dying trees What woodpecker holes actually mean Lightning-struck trees up close + meaning drop what you think in the comments 👇 Time stamps: 0:00 - Intro (Chestnut) 0:21 - Western Red Cedar 0:41 - Cedrus & Spruce 1:18 - Hornbeam 1:59 - Weeping Beech 2:23 - Variegated Beech 2:52 - Yew Bush 3:11 - Paper Bark Maple 3:33 - Cherry Blossom 4:22 - Tulip Tree 4:58 - Magnolia & Sequoia 5:57 - Red Maple & Ash Tree 6:35 - Bald Cypress 7:20 - Lombardi Poplar 7:34 - Magnolia Tree 8:07 - I Got Stumped 8:26 - Woodpecker Damage 9:19 - Lightning Struck Fir 10:04 - Why Treed Get Struck 10:40 - Big Leaf Maple Burl 11:50 - Go In The Woods! 12:50 - Lightning Struck Cedar 14:12 - Struck Tree Info/Sudden End
