Join Emma Radeka of the Metta Earth Institute for a deep dive into the wonderful world of the staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina). All you need to make some delicious, tangy sumac-ade is a staghorn sumac plant, a knife, a pot/pitcher, and some water!

I had one pop up on my garden boarder, and it being such a beautiful plant, I didn't have the heart to yank it out. Thank you for the info.

I nearly yanked out mine until I realized it wasn't an invasive ailanthus.

Very beautiful. Up until recent years, I was told this was poisonous. We have it growing in our backyard.

Thank you for this video. I was on a bike path in Burlington Vermont, foraging for raspberries, when I noticed this tree and I wondered what it was. It was then, I described what I thought I was seeing to KZfaq search engine, and your video came up.

Nice video, I have a field of sumac up here in Nova Scotia..I use the stuff alot .sumac wine is the best homemade drink along with the non alcoholic juice drink. I heat the clusters in hot water probably reducing health benefits but good flavor and rich red color.

@loboalamo Жыл бұрын

Slow cook on your stove with the lowest heat setting in olive oil or water all day you can use medicinally or culinary and you can add garlic cloves too or other spices, sumac is a fun herb. Taste buds really like sumac!

I just finished reading Braiding Sweet grass and I immediately recognised the honourable harvest in your action!! I love that book so much and it's really nice to see another example of someone following the guidances, as I'm trying to learn to do it too.

I thank you for the info., and wish that I knew about this plant years ago when I got some starts to grow one. All I knew was it is a cool looking plant/tree. The first year of growth, a neighbor ask if it was a maryjane plant. I told him that I didn't know what it is. But that it wasn't maryjane (pot) for sure. Well couple weeks later the cops show up, and say they are looking for someone running from an accident. I watched from inside my house as they seem more interested in the Sumac than anything.

thank-you so much for sharing your plant offering ritual......we all need to adopt this awareness. is it ok to transplant the sumac's shoots?

@oimatewhatyouonabout8526 2 жыл бұрын

they like lots of water after transplant and are very finnicky for a while after till they establish some decent roots, early spring is usually the best time to transplant.

@bampidraws 8 күн бұрын

How well do these grow in pots? And will the running roots escape pots through drainage pot holes?

@RocketRaccoonIzHot Жыл бұрын

how dark red will it be when its ripe? i find a lot of the ones with a little bit of green on the fruit taste bitter and idk if theyre fully ripe. however there is plenty of "dead" looking sumach branches where the fruit looks old and black and grey. another thing that concerns me though is a lot of other plants in the area also have similar "dead" looking limbs or they have a white hairy looking mold? growing underneath where leaves start to grow out of plants. is the area just sick?

@stacyrosa6672 2 ай бұрын

I transplanted this plant into my yard, and it has grown into a small stand of about ten trees. It gets flowers, but has never produced the berries. Do the males plants also get flowers that don't turn into fruit?

When interacting and asking for permission to harvest, what can you do to persuade it if it says no?

@user-nv5sn3tb4e 3 жыл бұрын

persuasion is not exactly part of consent, is it ;) coming back day after day and maybe helping it with shooing some pests or something will build the relationship needed for them to agree to help you.

@CD-oe6lc 3 жыл бұрын

Persuasion, if honest and informative could help to obtain consent, however I agree if motivations and methods are facetious, you may not truly be obtaining consent. Maybe an insect net and some water on hot days would be reasonable persuasion?

Not the first time I've heard of what she's doing. First Nations used to harvest what's called "Fiddleheads" early spring and they would harvest a third or so of them and give the plant a blessing with tobbacco leaves.

The worst part is that the people acting the worst are actually trying to shove their spiritual beliefs down everyone's throat, while criticizing her for beliefs that are less silly and harmful than just about anything they believe. Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but boy do they love to be the ones to cast the first stone. At least we have some evidence that plants seem to do better when treated and spoken to kindly. This belief seems relatively wholesome and harmless compared to most common religions, to which people are killing each other to this day over.

I don't give gratitude to the plants. I give my gratitude to God, the Creator of these plants, & every living thing.

@TheAwesomes2104 Ай бұрын

Well, we have undeniable proof that these trees grow these berries. The same can't be said of your god creating these trees or anything else. We can't even get the guy to come down for a word. Your thought process here is a bit like thanking god for surviving an extremely complex surgery, and criticizing people for thanking the highly skilled surgeon at all. "Haha, how stupid to thank the doctor that saved me, I only thank my god because he created the surgeon. He created everything." Very closed minded and ungrateful.

I find it funny that you're using your spiritual woohoo to criticize hers. At least there is some evidence that plants tend to do better when you're verbally nice to them, that's more than most religions have.
