Hey it's Blake's Nature Laugh and we're on a Paul Paul hunt and John just spotted a long-leaf Paul Paul. Slim leave him in. This one goes up at the top of the hills with the long-leaf pines. Oh yeah look at it. It's a fire that fits these things. How old do you think this one is? This one looks like it hasn't been burned for a month or so. A while. A while. At least a couple years. So you can see the very similar to the other Paul Pauls. Just as long reliefs and then they have a deep taproot to protect from fires. Yeah they have a big underground stump. It might be this big and it can come up after a fire. And then these they have they're pollinated by bees not beetles and flowers. They have a different flower. Yeah big big pretty white flowers. Man that's cool. And this is uh see how the leaves are more leathery. Yeah. They have adaptations to kind of dry or scrub your environment. They're pretty though. Hoping to find one of these with fruit on it. We just found some great mertle bonsai. So these look like what do you think? Runner roots from these big ones back here. Yeah. We're still looking for the Paul Paul trying to find the big one. All right what'd you say John? I think we're getting closer. What would say what makes you say that the environment? Yeah it's starting to look like where I saw them. Cool. You see that look at that? The hive down there. Oh I never see I'll make it so a little. We got the triple. Yeah it's still active. Oh cool. All right John John spotted the first Paul Paul. It's a little not very grand but it's better than not seeing any. We couldn't find the big one. But hey, here's some little ones. How does this pop all you think? And the shade like this probably 10 or 20 years. Wow. We're going really slow in the shade. Here's some little babies. I imagine they're all roots suckers of each other. If you look if you look through here there's a whole bunch of them. See how little they are? Yeah. Down here. So the issue is we couldn't get to the right spots because of the storm of the wild back not a lot of trees down. Don't too late today. Yeah. I think it's forever to walk. It could be dark time. What kind of tree is that one with the big leaves? Tealia. Tealia. American linden. How about that? We finally seen one. Is this one similar to the pound one you have? No it has different leaves. If you look at it the characteristics of it right between that small flower, pop all in the northern five or six. Yeah it's like a minute and hour below the real big one. It's about 12 foot. There's a bunch I'm going over that way too. We've been trapped by these trees. Yeah. Come there. That's terrible. A lot of these got destroyed. And it's hard to kill them. I will come back up from here. Yeah. So yeah you can see all the flower buds for next year. See that? Flat and more leathery the leaves are than in sharing. Yeah. And that little fuzz on the twigs and make it kind of reddish. It's more reddish than hers. Hers is a nothing big darker color. Wow. I was hoping to find some type of fruit that was left over. But it's got, I mean there's some pretty big leaves. There's definitely some that are getting on towards 12 inches. Yeah. And some of the more bigger branches have big flower buds too. Right. Again not quite as big as one of those big fruit and northern types. Yeah. But still maybe possibly within the range of trilib and look there's one come out of crack. Oh wow. Round and then. Oh yeah. That's just remarkable. All right come on. I think I know what it might be. Okay. So here's another pop-all. Looks like from a rootstock. A little bit further down. Or run a root in that. See the leaves. And then they always make a flower for next year. They form it and then they'll have it ready in the or an April. Hey John isn't around April or so when they start March. Yeah this one has a lot of little flowers on it John. So you think it's just probably a runner root? Yeah.
