Allium tricoccum (Ramps)

[@mattobermiller7920]

Thank you so much for the informative video. I have been morel hunting my whole life and never knew about ramps until a few years ago. I harvested my 1st ones today 5/9/24. I didn’t wipe out the patch, but I took roots and all, not knowing. I will be harvesting them again next year and do so leaving the rhizomes. Live and learn!!!

[@gpvaneron1584]

nice tip on re-planting the root

[@makramhamdan8551]

Amazing tutorial. I did not know ramps produce seeds. thought reproduction was entirely via rhizome. Thank you for sharing this vital info. I am in NY and have a ramp forest that I am trying to cultivate. Used the “save the root, and replant” method, by harvesting top part of bulb and leaves, while leavening cut bulb and root in ground. A method that has effectively multiplied a good number of ramp patches that were already present on woodland property.

We are learning so much from you. Thank you very much.

Just for those who might be confused, Allium tricoccum is a wild onion native to NA. It is often called ramp, spring onion, ramson, wild leek, wood leek, and wild garlic. But it is not the same as Campanula rapunculus, which is the "true" ramp, as it is from the Campanula/Rampanula genus-- whereas the ramp in the video is an Allium. Just thought I'd share, since both are used in a lot of culinary dishes, you just need to be aware of which type of plant the recipe is asking for. If it's an American recipe chances are it's Allium tricoccum. If it's a European recipe it's probably Campanula rapunculus, which is not native or naturalized in NA.

I was actually wondering about that because I found a pretty big ramp patch I think and they didn't have big underground bulbs. Maybe it's just early.

Hey, Joe! Did you happen to know the late Nathan “Frog” Hill from Western NC? He was my Great-Grandfather. He was a HUGE Ramp fan. He used to go to all the conventions. Admittedly, he usually came back with more moonshine than ramps. Ha!

[@eringauthier3612]

I appreciate the way you leave the roots 😊

Joe Hollis the absolute legend! Thank you for this wealth of knowledge and for teaching to leave the rhizome. I finally found something oniony in CT and have had a tough time identifying them. They had a white stem which was throwing me off. I can not find the species you talked about: allium bicnelilia. ( I have no idea how to spell it) I did however find the following info on wikipedia. [Allium tricoccum variety burdickii. The two varieties are distinguished by several features. A. tricoccum var. tricoccum is generally larger than A. tricoccum var. burdickii: the bulbs are larger, the leaves are usually 5-9 cm (2.0-3.5 in) wide rather than 2-4 cm (0.8-1.6 in) wide and the umbels typically have 30-50 flowers rather than 12-18. Additionally, the leaf stalks (petioles) and leaf sheaths are usually red or purplish in var. tricoccum and white in var. burdickii. The leaves of var. burdickii also have less distinct stalks than those of var. tricoccum.]

We have a ramp festival in Flag Pond, TN every year

Fantastic video

[@briancollins8237]

Excellent teaching! Thank you!

[@mvblitzyo]

thanks for the education

[@cliffordbunin3278]

someone used to give us ramps I love them really good if you like onions and garlic.

[@ROB7002]

is that a mono shirt? the japanese post rock band? haha word! love

[@Bluewaterpinessantarosabeach]

Collect seed and propagate. Thank you for filming. We only take one or two leaves from a single plant .

[@conorbenham4808]

Allium tricoccum bicknellii? Or Allium tricoccum var.burdickii? I've been very interested in this species as it grows in my woods clearly distinct from the normal red guys, and I've found very little info on them. I can't even find a Allium bicknellii? He has to be mistaken or is recalling a very old forgotten name.

Best video ever

[@rosakoko5049]

I WILL BE HAPPY GO THERE AND HAVE SOME !!!

[@BikerAU]

i enjoyed this - i'm in Australia and was intrigued enough to try growing some ramps from seed - i'm not sure if i'm having any success but this year i have what looks like a single blade of grass coming up, its thin, pointy and strong - time will see :) I don't think anyone else has them growing here but i'm giving it a go

[@tracycrider7778]

It takes approximately 5-7 years from seed

[@tommorley9659]

I live in WEst Greenwich RI and spend tons of my time in the woods MTN Biking- I was learning about Mushrooms and picking chicken of the woods and now have started hearing about Fiddle heads and now Ramps-thinking there may be an app that I could use to help identify and/or need to find someone who rides and knows...:)

[@arov500]

Guess its different in iowa. Green trees and ramps up. How do I know my white ramp isn't a bad look alike?

[@charronfamilyconnect]

What kind of trees to you find these around besides maples and beech? Do you find them around shagbark hickories fore example? Thanks!

[@homesteadingwithsilkiechic678]

Looked for the update on seegs in August could not find

[@domstarkey7279]

Best example them I've seen will the bulbs come quicker to have them sooner than the seeds I sopose

[@papratusa]

What state is this in...?

[@jeffskinner1226]

Do ramp seeds kind of look like gunpowder BB's?, if so I know where there's. a ton of them

[@tonis2u]

yes

[@jeremiah3754]

do you think these would grow in Louisiana?

[@natejansen892]

The def grow all over Michigan

[@soybasedjeremy3653]

Probably not since ramps love hardwood forest's and maple trees especially. From where I found them.

[@charronfamilyconnect]

I just picked some ramps lately. I was wondering if I cut off the roots and replant them if they will propagate after picking them 24 hours earlier provided that I keep them in a bowl of water until planting? Thanks!

[@khakicampbell6640]

How did it work out? I picked some yesterday and was thinking about doing the same thing..

[@charronfamilyconnect]

@@khakicampbell6640 I havent been back to check the location yet especially while we are in a lock down, and the location is cross border. Look me up again in a few weeks which is the height of ramp season, and hopefully the end of covid 19.

[@khakicampbell6640]

@@charronfamilyconnect Thanks for the response. I'm gonna try clipping and planting some today, as well as transplanting some whole ones. Good luck!
