In this series of videos Sean (of Edible Acres, Trumansburg, NY) is documenting a transition from woodland to future orchard on one of the Edible Acre properties.

Sean does a great job in all his videos of illuminating his thought process and exploring work flows that he's found valuable. There's a kernel of inspiration in all Edible Acres videos (for me at least). So don't forget to subscribe and visit his website; Edible Acres

Hi Sean, I enjoyed watching a couple of your videos here! One question I had was: in your "Orchard Design 6 - Guilds Develop [...]" video at the 7:22 you said you had a tree growing with some plant "leaning all in to it which has made it more or less invisible to predation through the winter," but I didn't catch what plant it was. I played it back several times and it sounds like "anna's hysthas". What is the name of this plant and how does it mask your tree from predators?

I believe it would have been 'Anise Hyssop'... THis is a potent aromatic plant which helps to deflect (at least a bit) browsing pressure from wildlife...  Plants in the mint family, the onion family, etc, all very strongly scented, can help.
 
The only thing that kept the leeches off of me was this tiny ad:
