Nice. But: Not all the parts of yew are poisonous. You can eat the arils of the fruits, which my Mum in her Dorset childhood knew as 'snotty gobs' and I've wound up participants on guided walks by eating the arils and tucking the seed in my cheek. Never, ever eat the seeds! Frankly you need to be keen to eat the arils - I guess Mum and her friends were keen as she was a kid during the War and rationing. Lots of greater stitchwort, including sitting against the bracken mentioned. In the wood where I coppice, it flowers alongside bluebell and the show is stunning. I've only ever seen native Solomon' s seal 3 times in 40 years as an ecologist, and neither was at Crab Wood - I've only been there once and it was in late autumn.
Interesting and informative video. I particularly liked that you use and print both the common and Latin names.
Thanks! Even though I'm used to saying Latin names some of these did take me a few attempts to pronounce correctly.
Brilliant educational material. You’re a valuable asset and I greatly appreciate your videos. Blessings and all my best wishes.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video!
Jam packed with useful info! 👍👍👍
Glad you thought so!
