Did you know it is edible

Can you eat them?

Okay botanist biologist and nutritionists are disagreeing with you. Many people do find the berries to have a pleasant taste somewhat like watermelon bitten near the rind. And it's supposed to make an excellent tea that takes something between sage and a mild cucumber. They also claim it's quite nutritious. They also claim it has a very long growing season and is still around producing fruit long after other plant species have died back for the winter. So I guess it's a keeper and it's here to stay

Chickens and pigs would probably eat it. It doesn't look like it has zero nutritional value. And if it's bitter or tart, most people just add sugar to it and make a pie out of it. If you tried that? You didn't say it was poisonous so there's hope there

Do you really think that wants a plant from around the world gets into your neighborhood that you are in? Any way able to control it or eliminate it? The world is just way too big for that and it's just part of evolution natural selection that seats travel all over the place and plants grow and develop and things change. You can call it invasive all you want. Just waited back in here too. It'll still be here and now won't be invasive any longer. Mother nature will figure out what to do with it. Humans don't have to get involved

It is edible and is it good? Is it resistant to molds?

I have two potbelly pigs, and they LOVE to go outside and eat all of those they can find!

Really appreciate your channel! Thanks for all the great work in taking care of the earth and encouraging others to do the same

I was waiting on Kudzu. My house backs up to a wooded area with Kudzu everywhere and it also brings the Kudzu bug. It's such a pain in the butt. Only good thing about it is my bunny loves it dried.

I use all three kinds of them to easily compost My families poop on My Offgrid Buggin Homestead. The get rid of it before days end every day. And My grass grows out of control on My two acres.

Am I playing among us

I got some fakes in my yard .

Could you please do a video on native plants that grow well in or on the margins of ponds or wetlands? I learned the other day there is a single speciest of lotus native to the United States (Nelumbo Lutea), and I thought that was amazing.

Not me having propagated mock strawberries and seeing this video a month later

I have Labrador violets that spread on my lot from their original planting. Not sure if they qualify as native here in the Puget Sound region.

I time my 1st mow to happen between the violets (and others) and the June wildflowers.

Why would they introduce this? Taste bad and no wildlife value 🤷🏻‍♀️

@1:00 in, W. frutescens sometimes has white flowers. (Side note: You bouncing with every syllable is *slightly* distracting. I know, Aspies stim, but when on camera, maybe try to not? I like your content and presentation.) @7:47, I have A. cordata in my arbor. The fruit tastes AWFUL!!! But hey, I have it smothering a cluster of crepe myrtle in one corner of my yard, so there's that. It makes GORGEOUS, thick vines, thick enough to sit on, as they bend down, and will often make a cluster of thick vines that create abstract sculptures in the air. @9:50, now I am kinda p*ssed at a former Botany teacher. On a field trip, he pointed out this vine, and said it was Native, so I brought some bulbils home and spread them. They took, and today, almost 20 years later, they are doing quite well. Too well. I might have suspected, but I was told wrong. Now, I need to go remove some things.... ugh. Kudzu is pronounced, "KOOd-zoo," not, "KUd-zoo." It's Japanese. Technically, it would be, KuDuZu, three characters in Hiragana or Katakana. where the middle u is silenced, or nearly so, almost like an apostrophe was there, KuD'Zu, for a pause. It's young leaves are great to eat as a tender green, cooked as anyone would. We had some growing on the South Beach southern staircase in South Haven, Michigan, where its growth WAS controlled by the bitter winter cold from Lake Michigan winds. It's flowers smell strangely like those old erasers they used to make that they claimed smelled like grapes. A weird, artificial grape aroma. Anyway, most of the plant is edible, and goats are the best way to eradicate it, as has been done in parts of the south, where I now live.

Wish it didn't have the word weed in its name. My town would probably require that I remove it.

Is this the same as snakeberry?

I would like to know more about violets.

🍓🍓🍓🍓 Learn more about the mock strawberry and our native strawberries in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4OnZKugaqqqrNE 🍓🍓🍓🍓

Yes more on violets and can I buy native seeds?

An invasive I really dislike!!!!

How about bind weed , can't get ride of it , it grew over from my neighbors yard .

I adore my violets! So excited to see them bloom in the spring and see them spread through my landscape over the years. ❤

Mmm delicious. we don't have any wild blueberries here but if you buy regular blueberry vine, bush"?" start of a vine/ bush, they'll grow. We have wild muscadines, blackberries and frost grapes in the backyard

My hubby doesn’t cut the grass where they are growing till they are done.

Blackberry vines are probably the most overwhelming here on the best coast. Surprised it wasn’t even an honorable mention.

Mock strawberry makes a good pie filler🤙

I have that tee shirt!😊

My yard is perpetually full of mock strawberries.

I like them, even if they do take over - but it’s fine because I don’t like grass anyway!

I love our wild strawberries 🍓 they are so delicious

I have the mock all in my backyard along the fences.

Where can these be sourced?

Great info and understandable!

Love them! Encourage them in my garden.

I have these all over and around my house every year I love them , I've only have the deep purple I didn't know there are different colors I'll have to keep an eye out for them and when and if I find some I'll dig them up and plant them in my yard..🌼

Trumpet creeper is as bad as Kudzu. It covers trees and spreads like wildfire by underground shoots. I made the mistake of buying it and planting it in my garden and it has spread everywhere. I dig up a shoot and 10 more appear around it. And the original root keeps coming back no matter how deeply it was dug up. Don't bring this one home!

I'd like to add the Passion Flower vine to your list!

Old stories say they used to dry fleabane and use it as a smudge to smoke fleas from their houses and clothing. What kind of fleabane grows in Oklahoma?
