Have just come home after seeing Common Hogweed in Brockley & Ladywell Cemeteries in South London looking gorgeous with an array of tall umbrella florets reaching just above head-hight thriving so well in rainy May. I wanted to be sure of ID and have been led here and have learned even more about the delights of eating it. Thank you

Great informative video about hogweed, I'm definitely going to be adding it to my spring foraging forays :) However, I would like to emphasise that anyone with sensitive skin should be EXTREMELY CAREFUL not to let the plant touch your bare skin when picking. I have sensitive skin and have ended up with phytophotodermatitis several times from contact with plants in the carrot family. This causes painful blisters which can scar. Just use gloves and wear long sleeves/trousers, especially if it's sunny. This applies to ALL members of the carrot family to varying degrees. Don't let it stop you enjoying them, just take precautions! Happy foraging :)

I eagerly await the Hogweeed buds, each spring. A little later this year, on account of a cold April but the flower pods look big and that fresh, astringent and pungent broccoli crunch, is what I fancy, right now. So good on a herb salad and great as an addition to a cycling picnic menu. Memories of adventures and welcome vitamin boosts. It's a flavour like no other. Lovely video. Didn't know about the leaves, stems and seeds, as food! Thanks for this info; life-enhancing. All the very best

Hemlock have more of a fern-like leaf to them, and don't have the same, distinguishable flower buds. I agree though, it's good to make new foragers aware of these deadly plants, and others they may stumble across. Yes, interesting isn't it. The ancient Greeks used it as an execution method. What a horrible, horrible way to go.

what we need is someone to upload a video guide to ALL of the umbellifers growing in the uk. i'm amazed no one has yet thought of the idea. they are so easily confused that it would be a public service if some knowledgeable botanist with a camera was to take on the challenge. 10 seconds per species is fine. at least it would give them something to do during lockdown!

Thanks. I'm still terrified I'm going to mistake a younger giant hogweed plant. The flower count is helpful, and I know about the red flecks on giant hogweed, but are they always there, or can it look green, or semi-splotchy purple as we can find on common hogweed? The first id feature I learned was the more spiky leaves on the giant, but as in this video, common sometimes has more separated and spiky looking leaves. Any other absolute differences (did I read somewhere that one stalk is rounder than the other?)? Do you have a good comparison video you can link to?

You can hardly move for this stuff in my local park at the moment. It is rampant! I tend to try and avoid it due to the vicious reputation of its larger relative the Giant Hogweed (swathes of that down by the river) and the pollen from the flowers seems to irritate me. I'm surprise to learn it is edible! Although would I be correct in thinking both common and dangerous (giant) hogweed are in the carrot family?

Hi - we have much what I am pretty sure is common not giant hogweed around our house. However, it definitely has flowerheads with 20 spikes rather than the 12 you suggest. can you reassure me that your number was an underestimate on your part? I think the two are hard to confuse in reality... ours are in no way 'gigantic' but I want tombe reassured before trying!!

Hi Jonny, yup 20 is fine for common hogweed, I was very much erring ont he side of caution. They can have more than 20 on common hogweed. Giant hogweed will never have less and the larger mature flower heads will have many more sometimes around 50.

I have been avoiding flowers with these types of heads out of fear of eating hemlock by mistake, but I am assuming due to the fairly distinct leaves the only thing you can confuse this with really is the giant hogweed, and if I am just going down a normal country road away from rivers I am not likely to come across the giant variety...

I braved some and it was delicious, in the area of wood in question (not a huge "wood" really) there aren't any streams that I am aware of so I am guessing no danger of coming across it, and even at a young stage those giant hogweed leaves look fairly distinct, I also checked for their hairs you see all over it when it catches the light. Would I be right in assuming giant hogweed is noticeably different and not at all pleasant to taste if you do somehow act with caution as some might anyway with even common hogweed sap and cook it? I am guessing if it's that bad for the skin it's really not a good idea to accidentally eat it either even if you do somehow avoid getting sap on your skin in the process

I am assuming you would notice pretty quickly upon handling it, even if you are otherwise normally immune to skin irritants, whether it is giant hogweed or not. I do notice some serrated edges on common hogweed but the "teeth" are often more rounded and the leaf in general is more rounded in shape. Again, when caught in the light the leaf is consistently covered in small hairs which I gather is a telltale sign, and I do see several young and old stems mixed in with greener stems that are streaked with red. I came across one stem that seemed a little blotchy in comparison, and I just didn't want to risk eating this so i threw it in the bin. Other than that the smell upon picking or cutting the stems is pretty distinct, and the stems themselves are delicious fried, even if the leaves are pretty unremarkable as food

Young giant hogweed looks VERY like young hogweed. It is often hard to tell them apart and I say that as someone who has encountered both of them for decades. Giant Hogweed often spreads away from water, especially on neglected land and the verges of motorways and railways. It is partly spread by the wind... Some giant hogweed get over ten foot tall... Also there are tonnes of other umbellifers which are poisonous, and it takes a long time to tell them apart.

I wouldn't encourage most amateurs collecting it... It looks too like Giant Hogweed esp. when small and there are also a number of other poisonous umbellifers.

Agreed. I've been doing this a couple of years and still seems like a bit of a gamble

@@SobrietyandSolaceDuring lockdown I have been walking along a place where there is a lot of both. When they get big, they are easier to tell apart, but when they are below knee height their leaves are very similar. The seedlings are hard to tell apart, I've been dealing with the stuff for over thirty years and I still can't distinguish smaller ones 100%.

Perhaps unwise to encourage people to use hogweed lest they pick the young giant hogweed and not the edible ones? Mushrooms are best bought from a grocers' if unsure as well but I have yet to see hogweed in the vegetable section!

I respect you knowledge, but i really don't think we should encourage people to pick and eat this plant because of its very close resemblance to the giant hogweed. JMOP

I agree Alan. We need to be careful with mushrooms too.
