These huge oak leaves didn’t come from big trees. They came from small trees competing for sunlight under the canopy. Bigger leaves help them survive. Once you notice this, you’ll start seeing it everywhere. Am I just a tree nerd? #naturetok #treetok #outdoorskills #forestfacts #learnontiktok

Shane Alden Edwards on Instagram: "Tis the season to start learning and studying for the next growing season! Oak Trees can be found on every continent except Antarctica. WIth the highest diversity being in northern and central America. Take time this season to practice ID before the next growing season! Oaks are also easier to spot this time of year because they keep their leaves into the spring! Always remember to do your identification first and foraging second! #fyp #nature #fyp #repost #ree
