Here we go through the motions of identifying a very common tree in the eastern US. White mulberry (Morus alba) is native to East Asia but grows invasively in disturbed areas all over the US. It’s arching stem, and shining, crenate leaves are useful ways to rapidly ID it.

Both chestnut oak (Quercus montana) and American chestnut (Castanea dentata) are commonly found on upland, well- draining sites, and I was happy to see one of each growing adjacent at a ridgetop in Red River Gorge. I took this chance to compare the leaves of chestnut oak to its namesake. See the resemblance?

Black tupelo or black gum (Nyssa sylvatica) is my favorite tree. Here, I stop to discuss this wonderful tree, while walking on a trail in Mammoth Cave National Park. We discuss identification, ecology, and the stunning red color you find on tupelo, not only in autumn, but also in spring!

Here, we examine the persistence of the cones of Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana). Persistence is a common adaptation to fire among pines, or members of the genus Pinus. Not only does persistence play a role in identification when you examine the cones up-close (or try to remove them!), but it also helps when identifying dead trees, or trees from a distance. Hope you enjoy this mini lesson, filmed from the woods in Mammoth Cave National Park

Here we take a look at red mulberry (Morus rubra) and discuss its elusiveness, its similarities to the invasive white mulberry (Morus alba), and it’s identification characteristics.

Here, at Mammoth Cave National Park, we discuss a few “old field species.” These species readily colonize abandoned agricultural land, and begin it’s progression back to forest. Have you seen these?

Yesterday we covered the typical bark you’re likely to encounter on a yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). Here, we encounter an old age specimen, where the bark turns from golden yellow exfoliating frills to black, scaly and even ridged. This transition helps you appreciate the immense, yet somewhat predictable variation that exists within many characteristics that are used to identify trees.
