Because of this channel I started to go to my local botanical garden to learn about the native plants around where I live. You're doing great things so thank you for making these videos, I always learn so much.

You could use smaller size trees. At least where I live there's variety in that regard.

Your observations about the human condition are unfortunately spot-on. I sure do enjoy your videos and always come away having learned something new about nature both flora and fauna and even geography .

Please never stop what you are doing even if you feel like a voice in the wilderness,I hear you and isn't that the point. Thanks Tony!

As much as I love the videos where you go to some exotic location and look at weird plants, I think the videos in cities might be my favorite.

Yes! I totally agree with you. Two years ago I lived in a city and became homeless from some unfortunate circumstances. I fell in love with the plant life in these types of abandoned places where the homeless and junkies would camp out, so I found books on weeds and botany. The insight it gave me into these forgotten areas was valuable to understanding of the natural world.

In Sweden some train stations/rail yards are actually protected areas because they house so many threatened wildflowers. The trains also spread the seeds; people step on them, the wind blows them around, at the next stop they fall off. Pretty rad.

Sniff

@Vergilius BrutusYou're really just lying to yourself saying sweden's immigration policy has not caused any problems. Check out the website 'last night in sweden' for example.
Also your way of handling covid has probably been the worst in the western world.

@Nautilus Because we live in an instant gratification society, and environmental issues don't affect most people's lives RIGHT NOW, and they have no ability to see long-term issues and effects. So most people don't care, and they won't until it's too late. That's why this species is doomed. We aren't wise enough for the technology we create, and we will ultimately self-terminate.

@andybaldman I will never understand why people treat environmental issues as secondary. Loss of biodiversity is a very serious problem.

@Snusmumrik It is a big problem. I'm personally working on restoring/protecting a small patch of forest. Maybe you've heard of it already but Naturarvet is a great organisation buying and protecting forests in Sweden.

I'm 62 years old. When I was a kid my dad was fairly impressed with how well I understood science in school and he made a request of me. He had been battling moles in his yard and garden for decades- and was the decided loser. He had tried every mole remedy and scheme that he could find - to no avail.
Somewhere he heard about something that he thought , if he could get his hands on it, would finally give him the victory he so craved. Yes,
my father asked me to make some ricin for him because he heard something that really impressed him with it's lethal effect- surely , the moles would lose this round.
Fortunately , this was before the internet kids, I was not able to find a source of castor beans and never even got to the stage of figuring out how to make ricin. Because of lack of information I probably would not have understood how dangerous it is and who knows how things would have played out.
I could have killed the whole family and created a scene of the coroner removing the bodies from our home across our beautiful, mole free yard. Who knows?

@Fräulein Trude Wherever they moved to they were probably called "French Moles"

Fräulein Trude

I got rid of moles in my yard by digging away their hills and stuffing some cotton balls sprayed with a disgusting smelling la Perla Perfume I got from my mother in law in their mole holes. The yard smelled quite fancy for a while but the moles moved away after two weeks of constant air freshener in their runways.

just wanted to say you inspired me to plant 50 scots pines around an acre of land my grandad has in Ireland.
Now I'm setting my sites on the parks and gardens of Dublin lol

Debbie Henri

3y↑3

Great to hear. Scots Pines are beautiful and are among the several species of pines I plant out from time to time.

If you want to stray away from natives towards slightly more decorative pines, might want to see if you can get hold of Abies concolor 'Swift's Silver' sometime.
The seed is expensive, rare, and the resultant tree grows slowly; but even though it's a native of a small area of New Mexico, it's growing here in Scotland.

It has the most lovely silvery-green to silvery-green/blue foliage I've seen on a pine; a nice and tidy plant too. I've got one that's now 15 years old and stands just 5'6".
The deer seem to leave it alone, which is more than can be said for Pinus mugo. That's one of the things I really have to be concerned about when planting pines. Deer ate most of my Scots Pines too, so I have only a few left in my garden (don't know about anywhere else I planted them).
Beware of keeping long grass short around the base of your tree trunks as well, because voles (Scottish ones at least) bite rings around the bark and will kill a few trees that way. Again, the Abies concolor 'Swift's Silver' doesn't suffer this problem, must taste like hell.

Ciaran Cassidy

4y↑12

Nice choice, Scots pine is a beautiful tree and one of the only conifers native to Ireland. While they're beautiful in their own way it can be sad to see all the plantations full of New world conifers in this country.

You brought back some memories especially by mentioning Charles Bukowski,
I used to be his mechanic in San Pedro California , Los Angeles is just a cesspool .
if you really want to see plant diversity like nowhere else ... take a trip to subtropical Southern Florida ,
within one day you could drive from Zone 9 A to 9B to 10A and Zone 10 B on the same stretch of highway ,
Florida keys happened to be in zone 11 wish I think is the farthest Zone in the US ,
my 1st biological surprise after moving in to Port Charlotte Florida is the lizards , they are more plentiful than cockroaches with amazing different varieties of colors and shapes .

When I moved into my house not too far from this location 20 years ago, the back yard had been neglected and overgrown for a long time. Most prominent growth were brugmansia, ricinus, and a huge stand of oleander functioning as a wall separating our property from the neighbors. All unattended for years. A natural garden of death. I especially liked when the ricinus would start popping it's beans like some kind of triffid. Took years, but the only remaining is a single brugmansia on the side of the house that provides nice shade to a bedroom window.

Fountain grass seems to be popular around here as a low hassle lawn replacement.

I worked on a concrete lined channel like the one in your video near knotts berry farm in Anaheim. I worked there for a few weeks and then it rained and you would not believe how black it became as the flow washed all the oil and who knows what into it.

Hey Tony, you would be surprised how many species of plants, even common ones, have zero free-license photos available on the internet. Would you consider also publishing one or two photos of the plants you discuss, under Creative Commons or whatever, for Wikipedia editors like me to add to free wikis? Maybe as a Patreon reward, eh?
Alternatively i could take screencaps of the videos if you didnt mind, but if you were okay with it i would still need a way of proving that, because these days copyright law has turned into a monster that eats your ass because of a crusty 300px android photo if you are not careful.
Just found out about your channel btw, i'm subscribed and loving it.

WolfCat Combo

I was watching another of your videos and thinking to myself about how disgusted(?) I felt knowing that the landscape, where you stood, likely used to extend into and beyond the city that I could see in the background. Even more so knowing that people don't live in those cities for happiness or comfort, but for the wealthy that use them to get rich. Then I came here and read that quote from Bukowski. Blew my mind a bit. It feels good to know that some people understand the horrific state that society has fallen into. If some do, then we can still do something about it someday. Maybe.
Thank you.

I find the scent of Brickellia quite lovely, hehe! I wish that I had known that you would be in the area! I'm about 30 miles east of downtown L.A. on the south side of the Puente Hills, and there is a plant there that I've wanted to tell you about. It's a Ribes speciosum with white flowers! I happened to find it while walking my dog one day, and checked with all of the experts in the field that I could find, and it seems to be the only one known to exist! None of them even believed me until I showed them samples and pics. It's likely just an albino, and not a new variety, but still.... I'd love to share a pic with you but don't know how to do that since I'm not on Twitter or Instagram, and you don't seem to be on Facebook. I could give you the coordinates if you like. It's actually at the summit of the hill. I believe it's blooming now if you are still in the area. It happens that you published this video on my b-day, so thanks for that!

The leaves on my castors in Phoenix get buggy like that in the hottest part of summer when the plants are stressed. It seems to be able to defend itself the rest of the year, but when those bugs get it it’ll defoliate and look pretty sad until the weather cools off.

If you went just a little north you could have made it to the unpaved section of the LA river which is a bit more botanically interesting but just as much a hellscape. Please do something else local while you're down here! San Gabs can get pretty vacant this time of year, especially on a week day.

BEST.BOTANY.LECTURE.EVER! Especially railroad botany.
Dude, you’re the guy I want to come to my ranch and teach me the names of all this stuff I’ve seen all my life. I ask everyone I know, and they all say the same thing: “Uhhh.... I really don’t know the names of all this shit.” You seem to know how to figure them out even if you don’t know them directly. I used to work on the Frisco all over Oklahoma as a brakeman. Wonderful job on terrible technology. It worked most of the time; sometimes the engine blew up or something like that. You’d spray it with a fire extinguisher until it ran out, then throw it at it. Then you’d wait for the nearest station agent to hop in their Cadillac and come pick up the crew. (1970s) Loads of fun, and we always saw a lot of plant species I couldn’t identify. But man, getting you in a crew would be like coming up aces all around. You have the answers to questions I never even asked. Truly interesting video, man, and informative. I’ll be looking at this again. By the way, Arundo Donax is the stuff from which they make saxophone reeds. And clarinet, bassoon and oboe. I used to make my own from tubes (stalks) of this stuff when I could find it or buy it. Thanks for the lecture, and may you always find solace in the quiet places.

What a freakin great quote you started this video with, and of course the rest of your video was great too thank you

Ailanthus altissma is extremely successful here in Albuquerque even with minimal water

Can confirm, I had two or three in my yard when I lived by the University, which is a few miles away and uphill from the river. They smell awful but I like watching them during thunderstorms, it almost feels like living somewhere tropical.

The Tree of Heaven is now on a blacklist of plants that are not allowed to be sold or planted in the EU. Not sure how I feel about that, but it is very invasive here in central Europe, Austria. In the city you can spot it along the railtracks or in many pavement cracks, together with staghorn sumac and a bit of paulownia. It's very expensive to control and because it coppices so well, you can't just cut it back and you can't rip it out because it seems to sprout in even the smallest cracks with dirt. I've heard that it is a big problem in the Mediterranean where it damages the building structure of historical sites.

But if you could produce a sterile cultivar (maybe polyploid?) that doesn't produce seeds, it would be the best city tree ever. Fast growing, tolerates heat, salt, pollution, doesn't need any care or a lot of water, looks nice, produces oyxgen, etc.

So, before watching this video, and reading through the species list in the description, then drawing on my past experiences with many SoCal creeks, flood plains, culverts, and other low places there, I have come up with a new term for those habitats found only in, again, SoCal. "Ripe"-arian. You're welcome.

And I'm glad that you are back in your hometown LA among the train tracks and human fecal matter on the other hand maybe was best if you stayed out
Cleaner air always prevails with every breath which can encourage the mind to think and to learn of the consequences that humans create

Some of my first great rock observations were as a kid fooling around the railroad tracks by my house. Had some keepers.

Neonic's are interesting, I have a 1932 Popular Mechanics that mentions neonic's being come up with because making them would be cheaper than growing plants .... so they go back further in the 20th century than many think ... you can use nicotine for bug control, and cig butt tea is supposed to work well to spray on plants. Easiest bug control though is to run a garden that's kind of messy and has a variety of plants.

Tree tobacco can grow outside in parts of the uk. It grows everywhere in the canary islands

And here I just got back from Los Angeles. I didn't go to the LA River, but I did hike around in Topanga Canyon and Griffith Park, and I kept looking at all the different plants and wondering what CPBBD would say about them. The Ricinus communis in particular stood out to me, I have half a dozen pics of it on my phone that I took with the intent of trying to identify the plant later. Turns out that all I had to do was wait a few days!

26:00 I agree but we should be mad at the law makers for it. Especially when in small towns where the trains are not even that fast. Buses should not have to stop at tracks either in those types of areas.

GTA5 really did do an amazing job at recreating this city and the surrounding environments... it made me so nostalgic for california, and so did this video

Kavukamari

the reason i mention GTA at all is because whenever i look at a place in LA I think "hey they remade THAT in GTA too"

Ailanthus altissima is thought to be the primary host for the Spotted Lantern Fly which is invading the North East US. Some people can’t go outside in Philly and surrounding counties during the summer due to massive amount of honeydew shit raining down upon them from SLF infestations

Had a co-worker that used to tell me his adventures hopping trains when he was in his 20's. I believe he said his uncle taught him. The more he shared the more I wanted. Though he thought the stories would dissuade me. O f course he said the number one rule is if you cant find your way back home you are done. He told me that last story, too.

The persistence of life in an urban shithole is always impressive. Given 10 years without chemicals and weed whackers you wouldn't be able to see the train tracks, and you would be worried about the coyotes and feral dogs. Austin's dystopian landscape of the future will be ligustrum and nandina thickets. That stuff can survive fire. Thumbs up for the Datura- it's lovely with huge flowers, very tough, easy to grow.

Makes you wonder, how many hundreds of thousands of gallons of glyphosate have been sprayed on all the rail corridors of America. Looking at the LA river, that color is the soot of 15 million cars, trucks and machines.

@Craig Hoover I have researched this very thoroughly. According to the IARC beer, bacon, wood dust and sunlight are more carcinogenic than glyphosate. Glyphosate might be implicated in a slight increase in non-Hodgkins lymphoma, but there is no scientific consensus on this yet. As a weed warrior I would much rather inhale a bit of glyphosate rather than the exhaust from a mower which is beyond any doubt carcinogenic. Also mowers are very dangerous, a lot of wildlife such as frogs, snakes and nesting birds are killed by mowers.

@calamagrostis88 I think Glyphosate has been determined by the International Agency for Research on Cancer to be carcinogenic. The FDA has been finding it in many of our foods. You can get more information from them by making a Freedom of Information request.

Caffeine is 40 times more toxic than glyphosate. Herbicides are an essential tool for protecting native plant diversity, and is totally safe to use for careful spot spraying. I always drink coffee on my breaks when I am spraying invasive plants.

Between the old creosote ovens and roundup, these corridors are for all intents and purposes dead zones.

Its perfectly safe they say...... anybody that works for Monsanto sould be forced to drink a gallon of glyphosate.

You should come film the wildflowers near me some of them smell and even look like rotten meat and that sounds like it's up your ally, come fester in our fly and mosquito pollinated muck valley's in Ohio. We even have rattlesnakes.
