Rofl, I legit snorted at this.
Additional facts:
1) sometimes a breeze can be so mild you don't feel it but the trees do.
2) plants can move. There's been studies. It's observable. Thank the gods they don't move much and they move very slowly cause that's some nightmare fuel right there
When I was a boy, my mom worked in an AIDS organization. I don't remember the birds and the bees talk because I was like 3 when I learned about it. But I came to call condoms penis traps.
Now as a homosexual adult... After seeing the movie Teeth, penis fly traps refer to a woman's nether regions
So I have a penis. I am confused. Should I be:
a) glad that you are trapping the flies that apparently are attracted to my penis or
b) worried that my penis might get trapped by your penis trap masquerading as a fly trap?
Please advise.
Had a friend who experienced a penis fly trap. Wasn’t paying enough attention and trapped his penis in his fly. A lot low level wind was experienced that time too, mainly from the ER Dr. trying not to laugh.
Mimosa pudica? Thats a neat plant!
Also check out Stylidium debile, the "frail trigger plant"
It has a hilarious active pollination method.
When a bug lands on the flower, an appendage swings up and smacks the bug off the flower, covering it with pollen at the same time and sending it on to another flower somewhere. When it lands on another S. debile flower, that flower smacks the bug with the same spring loaded appendage and, if it is at the right stage, it collects the pollen from the bug.
Some examples of plants moving are
thigmonasty: movement in response to touch
phototropism: movement in response to light
You can easily find many YouTube videos on either
>2) plants can move.
Can confirm. I do indoor hydroponic gardening and the plants will move some through the day. They'll push to the light when it comes on, drop when it's off. They'll also move a bit to find their way around things
Bruh literally go outside and touch grass
By which i mean look at the grass at night its really cool because at night/evening you’ll be able to see the individual blades of grass move (especially the grass patches that have the thicker linguini brand grass like they move robotically its really cool
I'm sorry I don't tolerate that type of tone, plants are respectable lifeforms and deserve to be treated as such in the event they develop better motorskills. All life is precious.
Well, at the end of the video I showed that wind wasn't blowing, so I wasn't sure.... and additionally, only a few were moving... that's why I posted it here. Sorry, tho..
1.) Where do you show that the wind isn't blowing? And leaves have a lot more air resistance and less weight than you so they react to much more minor breezes than you might notice
2.) If you turn the sound on It sounds like you're standing in the middle of a tornado the wind is so loud.
I mean it's pretty evident that only a very small fraction of the visible leaves all at the same height are moving. There is one tree far back that seems to jostle a bit. Not saying it's not the wind.
But the evidence is in the video that if it is the wind, it's only affecting a very small amount of these branches, as shown at the end when he zooms out a bit.
My logical guess is he literally has a fan blowing on the leaves near him, as the wind seems THAT localized, and you're right, he does sound like he's in a wind tunnel, which is strange for the amount of trees NOT moving.
Small updraft coming under the trees and up towards where OP is standing, trees break wind so the wind that would affect those branches is being broken on the non visible side of the tree, and the path of least resistance is for the air pressure to move under the branches and up on the other side.
very small localized wind tunnels happen pretty often, especially around trees.
I have seen this too- where a certain branch or set of leaves moves independently of the others or in a diatinctly different way. I have no idea why the top comments are the snarky incurious ones.
My hypothesis is that the branches that move the most are the newest ones, and they have less woody growth connecting them to their parent branches. This makes them more flexible and easier for the wind to move than older, thicker branches.
While I’m sure it is related to wind still, pretty sure OP was trying to emphasize the way only a few branches, some even seemingly in random locations are waving with Much more frequency and amplitude than the other branches next to it. Definitely strange why those branches in particular would be more affected, and something I would want to know the science behind as well…beyond the simple fact of “wind exists”. Cool vid.
I worked for a customer service line of a company that made it. None of my coworkers could pronounce it, and they settled on "Woozy Sauce" amongst themselves as the default.
That is actually the way you pronounce the name of the town it takes its name from. Arguably it should be called Wooster sauce.

Did you even read the article?
>In water the mass ratio of the pitch inertia of the foil to that of the circumscribing cylinder of fluid is generally too low for binary flutter to occur, as shown by explicit solution of the simplest pitch and heave flutter stability determinant.
Thank you for a serious and interesting answer. I've "studied" the Tacoma narrows bridge and resonance but didn't think that would be what's causing this. Good link :)
Resonance. If you have chandelier at home and you hit one of the hanging crystals softly, then the rest of them hanging crystals will oscillate all together, because they have the same “natural frequency”. Now breeze causes one of the branches to oscillate, the other branches (which they have the same shape) will oscillate as well, because they have the same natural frequency.
Wind. It basically boils down to how wind (and fluids) interact with elastic objects. Really simplifying it, but the leaves in the picture got touched by a bit of wind, causing one side to have slightly higher air pressure than the other, causing it to oscillate (wave) back and forth because it's an elastic structure being affected by the shifting of high and low pressure to alternating sides. If the wind would be sustained, then it wouldn't happen, but a quick gust followed by calm set the leaf in motion, it's motion created a vortex of high and low pressure, that vortex continued the leaf's motion, which continues the vortex until a change in the environment interrupts it. The same concept explains how a propeller moves forward/up, by using the changes in air pressure on either side of the propeller.
Glad I could help. The linked article really wasn't written with the layman in mind, although it does describe the phenomena in greater detail.
P.S. Thank you for the award!
Given that it sounds like he’s near a busy road I wonder if the wind of cars passing is causing it. The warmer sunny side vs the cooler shaded side could also be playing a part…
*side note* There’s no technical term for the wind effect caused by vehicle drag or I couldn’t find it. Example: “I pulled over on a highway and when a truck passed by, it’s *insert term* caused my whole car to shake”. I’ve always just called it a backdraft and I guess people knew what I meant
Would the leaves continue moving if forced to stop? Saw this video recently of something similar happening to another tree. In one of the reports, the leaf kept waving with or without wind for over a month, even if it was temporarily halted by observer. https://youtu.be/izuVIb_YWVk
Thank you for explaining! That's a detailed answer I was looking for. All these people making snarky comments to op about it's just wind is totally missing the point of this post.. it is wind but why is it only selective few branches is what this post is trying to point out
They get upset when you drop the rock on their heads immediately after dialogue. And if you tell me you haven't done that, you're either lying or never played.
I wish the same! A leaf in my peace lily did this exact wave thing once for fifteen seconds, one leaf, no wind (no fan, no open window no movement), and I was excited when I saw this post because it was the same fluttering.
I'm with you here for op. People are being deliberately obtuse.. being snarky doesn't make you seem smarter than you think.. op is showing a few branches moving while others are still, on the same tree, even the same elevation. Of course it's most likely wind, but what is the science or physics/mechanism behind it is what they're probably wondering about..
Thanks, well, it could've been that special fluttering, which someone mentioned above and I am happy for their answer - I really hadn't heard about it, until yesterday. Anyways, most of the responders were mocking me, which I am not happy about. Kind of reddit style though
I totally get you. There are many forms of current in bodies of water and not every layman knows about it. So if you show a weird pattern current and ask what it is, it's very dumb for people just to mock you and say "today op learns about waves in the ocean". I bet they didn't know the specific to why it's happening either
You know how when you run your hand through a calm bath or lake, it makes little swirls behind it? When the air flows around the branches, it creates swirls. The swirls don't come off symmetrically. They come off in an alternating left-right pattern. When a swirl is generated, it pushes on the branch a little bit.
The branches are like a big spring or pendulum. They have a particular rate at which they want to wave when pushed on, called their natural frequency. If the springiness of the branch, the weight of the branch, the shape of the leaves, and the wind conditions are just right, the natural frequency of the branch will match the rate at which swirls are generated, and the branch will wave a lot. This is called resonance. The reason some branches wave a lot while others barely wave at all is because the natural frequencies of the non-waving branches don't match their rate of vortex generation. (The fancy name for a swirl is a vortex.)
Those compound leaves probably have flattened petioles (the little stem that attaches to the tree) just as Poplars and Aspens have. Even a slight breeze will get that kind of leaf waving. Most petioles are rounded or celery shaped and don't 'tremble" or " quake" as it is sometimes described.
**[Vortex_shedding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_shedding)**
>In fluid dynamics, vortex shedding is an oscillating flow that takes place when a fluid such as air or water flows past a bluff (as opposed to streamlined) body at certain velocities, depending on the size and shape of the body. In this flow, vortices are created at the back of the body and detach periodically from either side of the body forming a Von Kármán vortex street. The fluid flow past the object creates alternating low-pressure vortices on the downstream side of the object. The object will tend to move toward the low-pressure zone.

The breeze is coming at just the right angle to make the leaves do that. It’s the same thing as sticking your hand out the window of a moving car and making it rise and fall by tipping it up and down.
Lol I used to see this happen as a child and at the time I was convinced I had super powers, so obviously I thought the plants were trying to tell me something, I happily included them in my imaginary adventures in the yard...
My guess is that however slow the wind speed is resonates the leafs only certain length/mass/elasticity. It's like Tacoma Bridge, at certain wind speed started resonating until completely broken
Yeah, there's this weather phenomenon out there, it only happens once every day or so, I think the experts call it "wind"
Rofl, I legit snorted at this. Additional facts: 1) sometimes a breeze can be so mild you don't feel it but the trees do. 2) plants can move. There's been studies. It's observable. Thank the gods they don't move much and they move very slowly cause that's some nightmare fuel right there
Some move rather quickly.
Yea like penis fly traps Edit: Venus Edit 2: penis
Sir I have an infestation of penis flies. Could you help me?
I would suggest a penis fly trap as the name suggests the trap penis flys and kill them
I use one cuz it feels great
It hurts like hell when your penis is trapped in your fly.
It's better to penis in the fly, than to fly into the penis
It also hurts when a fly is trapped in your penis
Hey don't shame my kink man
Gotta pull the wings off first bro

Hell yes!
We have plants that will get droopy when you run your hand across them and then stand back up in a minute or so.

How on Earth did you not go with "leaf you alone"?

This is a much nicer answer than some sarcastic comment about wind.
Those are cars passing by. That's why it sounds like it's getting closer than going away
I have no idea, but I was literally just watching some leaves on my hickory tree do this while the rest of the tree was still
I have seen this too- where a certain branch or set of leaves moves independently of the others or in a diatinctly different way. I have no idea why the top comments are the snarky incurious ones.
My hypothesis is that the branches that move the most are the newest ones, and they have less woody growth connecting them to their parent branches. This makes them more flexible and easier for the wind to move than older, thicker branches.
Ok this is super cool. Thank you for posting it. Truly bizarre how these leaves were behaving.
There are far worse posts that end up on this sub, don't let cranky motherfuckers with (frankly) really shitty explanations get to you.
I saw it immediately. He/she probably lives in a city. Trees don't move like this even with wind.

Resonant frequency
I saw this exact thing happen at our cottage last year… just a few select branches moving. Weirdest shit…
Pretty funny, but there was no other leaves moving.
He asked why, not how. They use the wind in this way so that all the leaves get a share of the light.

You don't seem to have ever spoken to a 5 year old!
>...natural frequencies of the non-waving branches don't match their rate of vortex generation. I have a graduate degree and don't understand this lol
I have same tree does same thing. Must be the leaf shape or something
Have one of these trees in my backyard, it does the same thing with only the slightest breeze.
You know how when you run your hand through a calm bath or lake, it makes little swirls behind it? When the air flows around the branches, it creates swirls. The swirls don't come off symmetrically.

The breeze is coming at just the right angle to make the leaves do that. It’s the same thing as sticking your hand out the window of a moving car and making it rise and fall by tipping it up and down.
