Raised on a farm in the shadow of the Hitt Mountains, I am now exploring lessor known crops of the world (and some more common ones) that will grow in the Rocky Mountains. Although one of my goals is to find viable crops for niche markets in Idaho, I treat my plants more like a botanical menagerie.

    It's 'mildly edible' because it kills you mildly.

    I have that in my landscape and it’s an evergreen shrub. Should never be brown like that unless it’s dead. Pretty sure those are dead

    Gosh, I've been calling this Virginia Creeper for years. It's growing on our split-rail fence in Montana. I need to re-train my brain to call it Woodbine. Thank you for the info!

    Bees know what’s good for them. The weeds may be pest but they also provide more nutrients than most store bought produce. No cap.

    Hahaha. It is common that the first year the berries arent nearly as good. Much like persimmon, it takes a few years to really develop fruit flavor. Also, your plants are in very tiny containers. In better growing conditions (giving it a nice floodplains/coastal inspired habitat) the fruit flavor is much improved. They like very nutrient dense soil and though they are hardy and can grow just about anywhere their fruit flavor is much affected by their habitat. The reds now have multiple cultivars to combat this issue, but the blacks likely don't yet.

    If you suck on them your saliva lessens the bitter taste. Of course where I came from in Canada, grandmas chokecherry syrup was absolutely famous and the prefered pancake topping. Maple syrup was expensive and I didn't even try it until my late twenties as sugar maples didn't grow on the prairies with their frigid winters.

    Ok. Im in Colorado and saw people eating the black berries. They are not great, but edible. There are several differences between edible and the poisonous. Poisonous come from purple flowers, with a single purple shiny fruit with a large calyx.. The edible come from white flowers, hang in bunches and have dull black berries. Maybe the ones that I tried weren't ripe enough.Maybe cooked or otherwise processed. I do love wild and unusuall plants that are edible. Consult a local expert first. I am not.

    Grow it in a plastic totes with drainage holes 🕳. At least let it grow two to three years before you harvest them. If you get lucky you will get little air potatoes or air bublies to grow more moutain yam.

    As a child we always called these trees " Witch Trees " because of how scary the contorted branches looked , In this area , central Kentucky , these trees grow very large and have the best blow gun ammo the Lord ever made for kids . You cannot break these branches by hand , but the branches will just drop when they take a notion , according to my Grand Mother . As an old man these are still my favorite trees , probably because of the old folk lore and the weird things that grow in them . Witch brooms and mistletoe to name a couple . I`ll just shut up now , but if given the chance , just stare at one for a while and see for yourself . They are eerie in a good sort of way .
