I was just about to say, they look like rose hip's. It's good to actually see the plant, and the harvesting method. As well as seeing the plant in use, information you would not normally see. Thank you Tam, for what looks like the start to a great series of video's.
Thanks for letting me know I have been here 8 yrs now not a bad place There is a lot of forest for bushcraft, trying to get my 9 yr old in to bushcraft Your's and your husbands videos are a great inspiration to me helping me get back out in the bush Thank you very much for all you do :-}
You are phenomenal! Thank you so much. It's difficult to find great classifications of the different bushes and trees, and it seems the sites that had it before are now only giving little info and send people to buy the books. Bless you. :)
I always knew this plant as "Fever Bush". I learned a little more about this plant itself. I remember drinking the tea as a young boy when I was sick. Great Video Tam! I always look forward to your videos near the fire.
Absolutely brilliant!!! Thanks Tam. As you say finding all the info on one plant on the internet is a real PITA. I've been trying to compile info on a few local plants and not had much luck. Great idea for a series. Great video.
i think tam needs her own channel. i would subscribe. her videos are really informative. and practical application and uses of wild edibles/medicinals, so i find her videos really useful for putting my book knowledge to use with just a little less trial & error, and i learn new stuff, and her videos are unique on youtube, imho.
Tam, Do you have a place people could come and learn with you. I absolutely think your videos are so awesome and would love to have a personal experience.
I have been eating canadian thisle root and the nectars off the inner flower parts.....does this have any medicinal effects that you know of? I also find alot of peppermint, asparugus, morels, and plenty of berries!
thanks, I see the same thing repete info and bad pics ! I'm looking ,said to be here in Indiana . I use Acorns mostly, just started harvesting Chicory .
You mention to only use the leaves in the summer and fall. Why is that? Can I not make a tea out of the leaves in the spring, or do the leaves go through some type of a transition period where the chemical makeup of the leaves is only ready in the summer/fall? Thank you for your time.
I believe it has to do with the taste.. The more mature leaves are "Ripe" giving it that "spicy" flavor. You can certainly use the young branches to make a tonic.
Excellent. I've also heard some people say they only grind up the dried berries for their all-spice and not the seeds combined(their persona preference). Any experience with the taste differences between seeds only vs berries only, vs berries & seeds? Just curious if there's any noticeable taste differences. I plan on doing a test on all three possibilities this fall since this is my first year of learning about the plant. I've boiled the leaves and stems, added sugar, and to me it tastes like a wonderful peach iced tea. I love this plant.
Sorry.. I don't know that Adam... you will have to ask a conservation officer over there.. Adjust how much you like to taste.. and no.. I wouldn't use a Christmas Tree.. but do as you like
BushcraftOnfire, Thanks! I harvested the leaves & branches in a huge trash bag and it served all winter. I love the fruity flavor. Delicious!

Are there spice bushes in ky and is there anything you can do with honeysuckel (besides pulling the little thing out and eating the nectar..lol!)?
Great info!
