Common hogweed vs Giant Hogweed - UK Woodland Foraging 🌱

This week I introduce you to Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), on of the most dangerous plants in the UK.
This video is intended to act as a visual reference to help you avoid dangerous lookalikes when foraging for Common Hogweed (Heracleum Sphondylium). Always consult multiple trusted sources to ensure you have a correct identification before consuming any wild plant.
