I love how you have the cheekiest grin whilst you talk. It truly displays your deep passion and love for what you do and is a refreshing change to see nowadays amongst all the misery.
You deserve way more subscribers my friend. Your stuff is top quality: Easy to understand, loads of great info, clear and friendly presentation. You rock!
He does, and IMO so do many other wild edible channels, like yours as well. However this subject is always under served on UA-cam, at lest from my experiences unfortunately.
The Outsider AGREED on your statement to Adam. That said, YOU ROCK TOO!! I'm subbed to you as well and LOVE your videos! Adam has his own Niche', lol, HE'S ADAM! hahaha All the info packed in with smiles and cheer as well as enthusiastic LOVE for what he's showing. STILL, not EVERYONE cares to hear the medicinal info with studies and all, lol. (I do, haha) THANK YOU for what you do as well! YOU ALSO have your Niche'. *Everyone's an INDIVIDUAL!* Even the Orbs of Light/Nature Spirits, etc. are ALL INDIVIDUALS. Proof that WE'RE ALL "Heavenly Creatures" ua-cam.com/video/-sfwsrDZYDY/v-deo.html&list=PLmQr1Jd2X7UKPAbBXAhp8yuuK57cIu0eT&index=7 *Blessings and Gratitude to You!*
The Outsider thank you for speaking about subscribing! I just did even though I've been watching for about six months. I always like and comment but forgot to subscribe🌸💐🌸
Adam, is that autumn olive the one that has the very fragrant flowers in about May? The olive I'm acquainted with is very invasive, grows generally around 10 ft tall with a 3D fan shape, drooping branches full of very fragrant flowers. When I moved to a different location where I didn't think they grew I found them by their aroma.
The amount of knowledge you flex in every single video is incredible! I'm REALLY GLAD I live relatively in the area (Toronto, southern Ontario in Canada) so your information is relevant. You need your own TV show!
When I was a young kid, there was a grove of Autumn Olives in a field that belonged to a family with the last name of Broadbent in RI. We called them Broadbent berries and we would feast upon them daily. I’m 54 now and have been eating them ever since in SE MA. Instinctively I knew that they where healthy for me and sooooooo tasty. Thank you for all you do.
We have a hedge of the eleagnus separating our property from my neighbor…once it took hold it went totally wild and I ended up pruning an opening and adding a fence…wishing now that I had planted two rows…I LOVE IT and just realized the fruits last year they ripen here in Savannah Georgia in January Early February and the massive hedge is 300 feet long and an incredible haven for birds…I have to say when they bloom the fragrance goes up to my back door so sweet and inviting from 300 ft away…it’s all in what you want and what you consider a weed…stay blessed
Glad I’ve found your channel! I live in Japan, just south of Yokohama, and thanks to you I’ve learned that the tree separating my property from my neighbors is Cornelius Cherry Dogwood, Natsume in Japanese! I like the fruit and so do my Boston Terriers. 😋🐶🐶
@@diazcoelho Both of my Bostons, Bébé and Spunky, have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge 🐶🌈🐶🌈🙏🏿🥰. Hopefully soon, I’ll have a new companion to share life with. 😇🐶🐶
Autumn olive can be found in a range from very light yellow to dark red. The yellow has more of a lemon like flavor, while the dark red tastes more like prunes. They all have like a cranberry overtones also. The blossoms of this fruit are a major source of nectar for honey bees in the spring, and the honey from it is rich and earthy tasting.
@@racheec2398 yes, they're also nice just to chew...additionally though, papaya seeds (and unripe fruit, and leaves) contain a natural meat tenderiser so if you rub a steak with the seeds you get a nice peppery flavour AND tender meat
I am getting SO addicted to these videos! The passion, enthusiasm and knowledge of the natural world is second to none and I learn so much from each one even though I live in Scotland (but we do share a surprising number of species with Pennsylvania, although many are non-natives introduced to USA by settlers from Europe)....one tip concerning Cornelian cherry: make a syrup from the fruit, it tastes exactly like Grenadine (which is great if you live somewhere where pomegranates don't normally grow!)
You are such a smart man. I wish you could come to Tn. and do a walk through our part of the country and educate us on all these wonderful plants.Really enjoying videos.
I love your videos and all that you teach in them. I am also very delighted by your delight in coming across these wild plants. In the future I expect that we will be very grateful for food source and medicinal properties of these wonderful plants!
Fantastic video, I read the other day that they are starting to call the autumn olive berries just autumn berries. I will start swallowing the seed now too. They are growing in the empty lots on either side of us. Thank you.
Excellent video, unlike one I saw recently where the lady narrator spent half the video showing pictures of her smiling grandchildren. This video is intelligently and informatively done!
I enjoy learning from you. I get a bonus by watching. Three branches of my ancestors lived in Wayne Township Erie County prior to the Civil War. This way, watching you I get a good idea of the world they lived in.
+Learn Your Land whenever you can? Brother Ive never seen a vid when you didnt cite studies. Your the Man! Your wealth of knowledge is very inspiring sir, thank you. I live right near hartwood acres. One of these times Im gonna see you out in the woods man haha
You quickly brushed over something that's super-important to me. I grew up in West-Africa and especially in Ghana most people brush their teeth with - you guessed it, chewing sticks. I'm highly interested in plants that make for good chewing sticks living as I now do in NC. Now I know one such plant from this video but a series on plants with 'chewable sticks' would be awesome. Pro tip - chewing sticks especially shrubs with aromatic qualities are very effective for appetite control.
I love these late-summer and early-fall gems. I just collected 16 cups of autumn olives and made a sauce. It was supposed to be jam, but hey, it's wonderful over wild applesauce cake, stirred into yogurt, or topped over icecream or pancakes or French toast. I'm in the Catskill Mountains, Delaware County. Thanks, Adam, for this highly informative channel!
I am in the capital region in the Helderbergs just north of the Catskills.. beautiful I l region! I am very new to foraging and excited about all of the potential finds here in NY!
I love the fruits from Autumn Olive. I made fruit leather with them. After cooking, they taste a lot like cranberry. They are terribly invasive, though.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad I found your Chanel. As soon I've heard about Cornelian cherry tree - I subscribed and clicked on Like.. I have been looking for this tree in USA for some time. from childhood time I had experience for these berries. In the woods of Caucasus - there many many along with others very valuable brush trees with berries and nuts.... You are very interesting young man, I'm saying this as a Senior woman... my favourite time is to walk through woods and eat wild fruit from trees. I hope I will find more interesting information about other species... Well Done!
Adam, I stumbled on Autumn olive being edible from a grad student that was helping me with a property baseline report (basically present conditions, habitats, features, plants and animals, etc.). I waited until late September to try them, while walking a partner on a conservation easement property we cohold. I mentioned I learned that Autumn olive is edible and popped a few in my mouth. It was delightfully tart and slightly sweet. He said, "We have an hour hike in front of us. If you aren't sick, or dead, by the time we get back, I'll try it." Needless to say, I didn't die and wasn't sick. Last year I stumbled on an Autumn olive tree, maybe 20 foot tall with THOUSANDS of berries. I carry clean garbage bags (to collect trash found in the field) and stripped branch after branch of leaves and berries. Separated out the ripe berries at home. Cooked them, put them through a food mill, added sugar to the juice and made an amazing jam. That tart and slightly sweet combination is tasty. I will have to try the spicebush, now. Eastern Ohio has loads... Thanks for all you do, Adam.
I discovered autumn olive this year and was amazed as to how good they are. And these bushes also had thousands of berries on them. What a sight! First they’re sour then they’re sweet, autumn olive is good to eat.
I’m glad you mentioned the tomato taste of autumn olive. I made juice and it definitely tasted very tomato-y. I was going to make Kombucha with the juice, but it didn’t seem it would taste good in booch, so I didn’t do that!
I love autumn olive! I've picked it late august to early september because the astringency reminds me of lemonade. Nice end of summer treat. We moved and just recently found a few bushes along with going to be a fun harvest this year!
I think, I love you. I love your love for nature and the land it grows on. I love your knowledge, you're like a walking breathing encyclopedia for everything I love. My husband, my kids, my family and friends all think I'm crazy because I want to leave society and live in the wild. They just don't know that the wild has been calling me for years.
I've never known autumn olives were their proper name. I've been eating these since a child child. I'm almost 21 now but I'm just happy I know the name and it's actually edible I've always just told people/friends that they're really good like cherries!
Wow, Adam! Today while hunting for mushrooms, I noticed this small tree full of beautiful hanging red fruit, I didn't know why it stood out to me and now I suspect it is the Cornelian Cherry Dogwood. I can't wait to return, I'll bring you a photo! About your Spicebush fruit, you may be able to flavor some oil, like Olive oil with them, they may be full of rare oils for the body. Your Autumn Olive is a wonderful find, it seems to mimic the classic olive tree in fruit and leaves. I have powdered Olive leaf that I use for alternative medicine, but Autumn Olive leaf may have the same or different properties. The fresh Autumn Olives may also be able to be preserved like regular olives are, I know some people who do this. I have to do some searching on all of these trees. I can't wait to report back to you. I lost my be-loved Dogwood, now I would love to replace it with a Cornelian Cherry Dogwood, if I can. Thank you!!!! Sara
Cornelian-cherry dogwood, spicebush, and autumn olives. It's September 21, 2018, and I'm going to look for all three of these when next out on the trail. Thanks so much for spreading your knowledge!
I really liked this video. It was very informative in regards to Autumn olive shrubs. I was only aware of the edibility for jellies and jams. Not the medicinal purposes. TY Adam.
I have to say that I really like your energy and your authenticity. You are clearly very knowledgeable and kknow what you're talking about. That come through in your manner and the fact that you are doing each species in one take and not switching it up between camera angles, etc., to enable editing. Well done. Your enthusiasm for the subject is infectios and that's one of the particularly desireable characteristics of a good instructor/teacher. A really good job overall. Inspirational. I have liked and subscribed.
Love your videos! Been sharing with my husband and son. We enjoy foraging around our property in Eastern Pennsylvania and your videos are a great source of information! Thank you! 💕
I've known about Autumn Olive for a few years. I never saw this shrub as a kid... Its not native to Western PA... Its highly invasive and takes over if not controlled... Its hard to control, because of wild life eating it. So? I guess, we just embrace the fruits that it produces... after all... Its great for us! Love your videos! You're a great teacher!
Stellar video, Adam and you've helped me identify Autumn olive tree and thank you so much fortalking about its lycopene content and medicinal property that may be in fact good for my condition. This is the highest rating video i have watched this year ! Bravo Adam for spreading the love of wild natural plants.
Autumn Oliver makes great jam. Unlike in the US, it doesn't spread and make a nuisance here in Ireland. Great videos, and hope you cover Pawpaw. (and though not wild or native, Feijoa is gorgeous)
In Turkey they make a syrup out of Cornelian Cherry. There’s even a saying, meaning downplaying a serious problem: “He’s puking blood, and says he drank Cornelian Cherry syrup.” :-)
I just discovered autumn olive for myself when I was walking through the woods and saw it. I used Google lens to identify it and check if it was edible. Omg! It was SOOO delicious!
I LOVE Autumn olive. We have 2 of the 5 varieties on our ranch. There have finally been studies done on these. My opinion is that these should be in the store, but Cattlemen lobby made these a plant to eradicate! The bees love the flowers, too.
Subscribed. I plan to plant a few Spicebush this year underneath my huge Sycamores. I hear they do okay in the shade, and my yard needs a little bio-diversity.
@Douglas Jonah I am fortunate to have them already in the wooded parts of my property, but I'd like to get a few cuttings from the ones in the woods and plant some in my yard - maybe start a native garden as well.
You have the best informative videos. And I love that you don’t drag on and on and on, I love how you get to the point, but don’t go so fast that I have to wonder what on earth you were talking about! You are my go to guy!
As a kid, I would bring a backpack of autumn olive home to eat. Probably the first "wild" fruit that I identified as a kid and began my love of learning my land :-)
Autumn Olive is #1 on my list this fall!! I thought I saw some last year wasn't 100% certain and am going back there next week...As always thanks for sharing the wonderful information, Adam!
surprised and glad the youtube algorithm actually suggested this 5-year-old video right before the end of September! I wonder if I'll be able to find any of these in my area
Not to mention that beavers love to consume this shrub during the winter months. I love autumn olive berries. We have a large population of autumn olives on my family farm,especially around our strip ponds in southern Illinois.
Seriously, you'reike the Steve Irwin of foraging. Your enthusiasm for living off the land is contagious and captivating.
Thanks! :D
He's more like Saul from pineapple express
I love how you have the cheekiest grin whilst you talk. It truly displays your deep passion and love for what you do and is a refreshing change to see nowadays amongst all the misery.
I do live in Bulgaria (zone 7b) and I do have a Cornelian Cherry in my garden. Last year I made delicious liquor and syrup from it.

This should be taught in school. You are a humble master of traditional knowledge.

Kaze I agree, I live in Ohio and I am learning so much info!
Thanks! Yes... Toronto and Pennsylvania have lots of overlap when it comes to plants and fungi. Glad you're enjoying the videos!

I dry the spicebush seeds and grind 'em to use as a pepper replacement. Really good replacement!
Agreed!

Has anyone heard of using ground up papaya seeds as a pepper replacement ?

I dry the spice bush and autum olive… I put the dryed fruit into mason jars and use them in every thing from tea to stews💜
I find the south side of the tree produces sweeter fruit. More sun? Hmmmm. Delicious!

The flowers of the autumn olive are also very aromatic, and remind me a bit of honey suckle! They are a pretty plant, even if they're invasive
Bees make some very good honey from the Autumn Olive blossoms.
Autumn Olive is #1 on my list this fall!! I thought I saw some last year wasn't 100% certain and am going back there next week...As always thanks for sharing the wonderful information, Adam!
You're welcome, Rick! Give them a try and see what you think. I have a feeling you may enjoy them!
Feeding the UA-cam algorithm. Informative video. Thanks.
Dude you're fricking fascinating. Not even my professor at Temple U was as knowledgeable as you. I'm subbed.
I only ever used C mas for its early spring flowers. Nice to know it's edible and it has health benefits.
surprised and glad the youtube algorithm actually suggested this 5-year-old video right before the end of September! I wonder if I'll be able to find any of these in my area
I was thinking maybe you are Euell Gibbons great grandson! Thanks for teaching us!
My chickens love autumn olives. We have them growing wildly in our backyard.
They're quite tasty!
You must be like a novice herbal medicine doctor. Probably already there!!! Keep up the good work!!!
You are a real treat, Adam! Thanks so much for your informative videos.
You're welcome, Nancy... and thank you for watching!
This is great. I have so many of these on my land.
In East European countries the Cornelian Cherry Dogwood fruits are eaten when you have diarrhea. You can eat them raw or as compot.
Not to mention that beavers love to consume this shrub during the winter months. I love autumn olive berries. We have a large population of autumn olives on my family farm,especially around our strip ponds in southern Illinois.
I gathered so many Autumn Olives last year. I made fruit leather from them and i hope to make more this year.
Dig what your teaching in these videos. And, doing a good job at it too. Thank you,
Your voice is so soothing
I found autumn olives while scouting for deer! I've been trying to find out what it was and your video helped me figure it out!! Thank you so much!!
