I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and had not thought (in my wildest dreams - and they often revolve around horticulture) that Australian horticulture could be that similar to the horticulture I experience here in far away Denmark. A part from the main subject, I also discovered you are very entertaining, and I will keep on watching. And as for edible forrests, a great thing about watching this programme is that I also discover things almost like you do, learning all the time, and I will try yacon now and add some more bell flowers to our garden.
What a great tour of the edible forest, gardens. Your videos always take us with you, along the paths and borders, sampling and learning, as we go. Bravo and thank you for sharing 💞🌟
Great video! I can proudly say, I did remember the Gunnera-story from the previous video! 😄I found it so funny and still is, especially the way Stephen tells it 😄🤷. Greetings, Judit
I have the red version of the Aronia in my US zone 5 garden. It is spectacular in the spring with loads of white flower clusters, goes blazing red in the fall, and the birds love the fruit. I have however always known it commonly as chokecherry 🤔
Great episode I hadn’t heard of the edible garden but shall go. I have very well behaved houttuynia cordata as it is rarely watered in shade, doesn’t spread but doesn’t die either after 25 years of ignoring it 😮
That Aronia is quite the rare find growing wild in my neck of the woods (extreme Southern Illinois) while out with my botanizing friends last summer they found it growing on a bluff wall in a spot where it hadn’t been re-located in years, so thanks for pointing out it can be grown in the garden. I’ll pilfer some fruit from it this year and try and get one started. Your videos are very educational, I enjoy them Thanx
I was wondering what Australians thought of your Syzygium Australe (or others)? We call it Australian brush cherry and it grows in abundance here in Cape Town. It's a love it or hate it thing. While being jolly attractive and quite pleasant tasting (makes a decent jelly), every blessed seed that falls germinates and grows and it often fruits twice a year. The birds don't seem madly keen on them but I do 'browse' on the ones that are leaning over from my neighbour's property.
I am trying a grivelea here in the Southeast US and it survived our 5 degree fahrenheit December...since Australia grows many grivelea, will there ever be a video on those plants???? Mine is rosmaryanthus I think....it did get hurt but not killed??? an update to this comment...... it did indeed die due to the cold this winter..... 8 degrees fahrenheit did indeed kill it......
A bit late watching this video. I wish I had never planted houttuynia. It’s a real thug in my garden (wet west coast of Scotland). I find it has quite an unpleasant smell as well as taste, although I’m basing the taste on your on-screen taste test!
apparently the evergreen one is not edible according to google.. it doesn't die back and doesn't form the new "asparagus" shoots so there isn't the temptation to cut them and cook them...... it is evergreen for sure..
This was one of your very relaxed videos. I will keep two plants in my mind, the Chinese quince and the last one, black chokeberry
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Stephen and Matthew, What a great garden.
Thanks for watching!
One of your most interesting episodes. Thanks

they are none the less edible albeit a bit bland I find. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists Thanks 😊 I have never consumed, I leave them for the wildlife…But I may give them a try this year just as an experiment.

Thanks for watching - it's a wonderful place to visit!

Thanks for watching and good luck with the berry collecting!
Fascinating. Those Pseudocydonia fruits are much smaller than mine.
I thought the same when I saw their tree and wondered if they had an inferior clone. Regards Stephen
@@thehorti-culturalists I wonder if it could be a bigeneric hybrid with another Rosaceae like Pyrus.
For the Campanula eat the leaves cooked. They are quite nice.
Thanks for the tip!

Here where its native it is of course liked so I guess its a case of non natives being disposed weeds away from their natural shores. Regards Stephen

We may possibly do one on Grevilleas but will certainly be doing some of our native plant groups over time. Regards Stephen

Thanks for watching - yes - it's a tricky plant!
You all were saying that Solomon seal is edible and I have an evergreen one that is a species called pernyi and I wonder if it is also edible.??
I have no idea but it is certainly possible. Regards Stephen

I want an eddible forest, too. 😩
Something to work towards. Regards Stephen
Monkeries 😂
Love making up my own words😀 Regards Stephen
