I have a huge forest behind my house with a creek flowing through it. I planted hundreds of willow trees to close the gaps in the forest. I also put in 50 pawpaw trees, 60 apple/pear trees, 200 sea buckthorn bushes, 50 honeyberry bushes, 60 hazelnut bushes, and a bunch of random other food items people haven't heard of. It's my secret food forest. The animals love it too.

The tip of the 100lb iceberg. These plants have extremely protient and oil rich seeds, the Root is on average like a 100lb or more carrot. It's surreal how big the roots of these things are, for the vines they sprout. The vines die every summer, but the huge root stays alive for years, maybe even decades, and is basically a massive potato.

I KNEW they got tequila from the fermentation of the hearts although others say different. I don't know HOW they're meant to eat the fruits, they're just hard pods. But I hear the nectar will last 2 years. And they can use the acid in the leaves to make some kinda detergent

@@ogadlogadl490 I’d just as soon NOT eat it before I did eat it. I read somewhere that the tuber underground could be used to make soap because of the saponins. But more research would be needed. Just go on a deep dive in google and use different search terms. Especially searching for the native name of the buffalo gourd.

I have come across a few people who actually mispronounce yuca/yucca. I don't blame them, they don't know but this is actually a spanish word. Grew up in florida my whole life where there is the most diverse hispanic origins in the whole united states so you can be sure it is accurate. Everyone pronounces it as YOU-Ka. That's what I've known my whole life. We don't have just mexicans here but also cubans, colombians, Columbians, puerto Ricans, dominicans, etc. Just a fun knowledge fact for everyone 😊

My advice is NEVER cut into them with an electric saw. Wear protective clothing and long leather gloves. If you get the sap on your skin it will itch like crazy within minutes. Get it in your eyes and it will drive you crazy. The sap is full of calcium oxalate crystals laced with irritating saponins, which cause contact dermatitis and also Phytophotodermatitis, so every time you go out in the sun you will get secondary reactions. Personally I refuse to go anywhere near them.
