Biggest complement! You said, I leave these videos for the.. "bush craft people. You know, people who got respect" THAT'S ME!!! I RESPECT THE EARTH 😍😍😍 I'm a bush folk!! 😍😍😍 Thanks for your videos. I just harvested a bunch of wild grapes here in Halton. Thinking of getting some sumac too. 🌱💚🌎
Butternut is endangered (species at risk) in Ontario because of the Butternut Canker - a fungal disease, not so much from people cutting it. Awesome video!
I never knew about these fruits! Thank You for your video!! That bug you asked, "Who are you?" That's called a Leaf Footed bug. Considered a non-beneficial bug. They have a long proboscis which they drill into fruits to suck the fruity juices. Here's why they aren't beneficial: At some point while their proboscis is inside the fruit, they emit a liquid back into the fruit, which ruins the inside of the fruit, turning it brown, and just generally spoiling the fruit from the inside out. Even tough skinned fruits such as pomegranates (one of their favorites) they have no problem penetrating through that thick skin and spoiling the fruit. The worst part, at least with pomegranates, is the outward appearance of the fruit shows no inner damage whatsoever, so we humans continue to grow them thinking we will have a good harvest. It's not until we cut them open (9 months later) that we find the fruit is spoiled. SO disappointing!!! Of coarse, softer fruits are easier to tell beforehand. I'm not surprised this one was crawling on your hand. They aren't afraid of people, they're quite bold! And you had fruit juice on your fingers! Anyway, it's a Leaf Footed bug, the back legs have an open leaf shape in them, making them easy to ID.
The trunk of the tree you showed at 5:33 looks like a black walnut. The nuts are oval until later in the summer when they become round. Count the leaflets on the petiole. (15 to 23 on walnut) (11 to 17 on butternut)
I have a few of these beautiful sumac trees. I have let them grow naturally for about 5-10 years now. I wanted to let them multiple. This fall, I will be harvesting my 1st bucket full. 😊 I knew they was useful, but YOU JUST showed me another amount of information, I needed to know. Thank you! ⚘
Just subscribed to your channel! I love wild foraging! I used to see this growing in Baltimore but since moving to Georgia I have not seen any. I don't know if it grows this far south. Sounds like it tastes good though! I recently found out about Roselle Hibiscus juice and now drink that all the time. I bought the dried calyxes at a farmer's market but now I'm growing my own. A few of my plants are pretty tall now like little trees and should be fruiting and flowering soon. Looking forward to my first harvest!
I harvested this year's crop on the hottest dang day of the year...lol (Just the way it worked out) Was so sweet, citrissy'n'sticky! Next year's brandy shall be QUITE yummy! ;)
This is fascinating, is this the same sumac as in Middle Eastern cuisine? The citrus/sour/sweet description sounds like it.. very interesting. I wonder if it can be grown in Australia. Can’t wait to see the wine.
Like Angels pissin' on yer' HEART! ;) (I'm famous for my Sumac brandy round' here.) I bump it up by freeze distillation...but...that's...another story.... ;)
So many in woods in VT in prime time . We have them short so I can reach them, I may pick like 2-3 for making spices , I buy from store Mediterranean spice with sumac ,so I like to try and make my own . Ty for video.
Apparently poison sumac has white berries that hang in clusters and is a wetland plant. I've got to try this... the sumacade, at least. Apparently sumac is in the same family as poison ivy, mango, cashew, poison oak, and pistachio... a family that has given us some of the most loved and most hated of plants. Hello from Whitby, ON.
It's possible, and they are related. But they have a different total number of leaflets, and in the end the Butternut is more long and narrow, while the black walnut is more spherical. Taste is completely different!
The Butternut Tree (juglans cinerea) is in the same family as Black Walnut (juglans nigra) so they do look similar but the former looks more oblong and the Walnuts are much more evenly round there are pictures that compare them if you do a quick search.
Or they could be Butternut - they are related and looks similar. The number of leaves is different, and in the end the butternut nuts are longer and thinner while the Black Walnuts are more spherical.
The Staghorn Sumac is dioecious, meaning that it develops male and female flowers on separate plants. Both male and female flowers are cone-shaped, but they differ in their color and length of blooming. Male flowers bloom between May and June, while female flowers last much longer, from June to September
Failed Algebra! (But I can skin a deer tho'! lol) But to be serious for a moment, I think you mean the starting Gravity reading? I used to but now I don't do that anymore...I just do it so it tastes good. A bottle of it at the beach though will make ya' wee bit wobbly...lol
I think theres something wrong with some of the local sumac. My first year trying to harvest much and I noticed the cones are all filled with black cruddy dirty looking stuff. Looks like mildew at my guess? but all the little hairs make this stuff really build up whatever it is, and I don't think any of its usable for cooking. I just left the cones out for the birds and even they haven't taken much interest. Any idea what that might be?
ticks don't jump out of trees.. ticks do not have eyes, thus ticks are blind. 99.9999% ticks don't climb trees and the ones that do never reach any source of food because all that they do is climb up, and up, and up. They've evolved to climb to the top of the tall grasses and sit there until something hits them and they grab on.
Yay! Finally. I was actually really confused as to why with all these views and comments, the comment section hadn't completely gone to crap yet! Congrats! Get this person a trophy! The first pissy comment! Phew. I can finally relax now cuz' all is right with the world now. ;)
"He knows how to do stuff" made me spit my drink out lol
Yes indeed we mustn't take ourselves too seriously right? Lol
I love this. I just found a massive tree in the field out back. I never knew what Sumac was but I make red wine. I am going to try this. Thanks!
If you enjoy pickled onion, try adding sumac to the mix 😉 yum!

Thanks for your videos. I just harvested a bunch of wild grapes here in Halton. Thinking of getting some sumac too. 🌱💚🌎
Aw thanks yeah I am always trying to be careful and leave small footprints!
Halton is so beautiful too I go there couple times a year to get my DEER HIDES to make my drums! :)
I been wanting to know this for several years. And boom.... here you are. Earned my sub and a share
just picked a plastic tub yesterday!! shout out from Vermont, had them over growing my yard and cut down a bunch of trees
Shout out right back from Canader' EH! :)

Hey awesome thanks for the info...wonder if that fungal disease is related to global warming possibly?
I liked your video. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure. All my family and friends love the subtle sweet flavor of the Sumac wine. I give most of it away. It is always better to share! :)
Wow. Ive never aeen this plant before. Cool.
Awesome amazing tips thank you
Glad you like them!

I've got my buckets, snips and drying stacker already loaded in the car 🤭 I see those cones forming and darkening getting ready to bloom 🥰

I have several of these growing in a corner of my yard in Louisiana. I made a garden trellis pole out of half of a tall one.

Lol I thought the one in my backyard was a locust, I call it a dr.Seuss tree. Thank you for the education
One of these trees use to grow in my MamMaws yard . Wish I'd known 😢
Greetings from a fello Ontarian in Peterborough. I REALLY enjoyed your episode! I subscribed!👍
Oh cool hey thanks...you got lots around there fersure'...
@@davidfinkledrums Yes, we have lots here. Fersure!

Hello from Whitby, ON.
It's true! :)
I think the tree is Black Walnut.
It's possible, and they are related. But they have a different total number of leaflets, and in the end the Butternut is more long and narrow, while the black walnut is more spherical. Taste is completely different!
Black walnut trees aren’t endangered in Ontario according to the government website Butternuts are
Are those not walnut trees around the sumac?
When I was a kid, we used to suck off the sour stuff and spit out the seed. Do you eat the seed?
The Butternut Tree (juglans cinerea) is in the same family as Black Walnut (juglans nigra) so they do look similar but the former looks more oblong and the Walnuts are much more evenly round there are pictures that compare them if you do a quick search.
@@Hello-kr8gj thanks 😊.
tree with nuts are black walnuts tree.
Or they could be Butternut - they are related and looks similar. The number of leaves is different, and in the end the butternut nuts are longer and thinner while the Black Walnuts are more spherical.
thanks for posting, which tree did you say was endangered in Ontario at 3 min 54 sec? Is that Black Walnut?
never mind, you answered butternut at 5:24
That’s actually butternut.
I see you are harvesting Staghorn Sumac. I prefer the Shining Sumac.
How do you tell the difference between the male and the females tree when they are tall trees
The Staghorn Sumac is dioecious, meaning that it develops male and female flowers on separate plants. Both male and female flowers are cone-shaped, but they differ in their color and length of blooming. Male flowers bloom between May and June, while female flowers last much longer, from June to September
Thank you

They're butternuts.
Butternut

Ticks on sumac? Sorry I don't want them hitching a ride on me.
no, ticks are blind, they don't have eyes. they don't climb trees they only sit on top of grasses
Earwigs are awesome. They eat fleas,ticks and such.
Really? Their good for something other than eating up your plants. 😊
@@monicaclark9581 they are = they're

I believe there is a version of a sumac look alike that is toxic
Yeah, but the staghorn isn't. We know the difference, the poison one has white berries.
The only poison sumac has round white berries. All the red ones are safe.
Inslways thought sumac was poison...
Only poison sumac is poison. It has round white berries. The red ones are not poison.
Eat a little bit louder, I wasn't quite grossed out as much as I could be.
