Tips How to Grow Tons of Roselle | Jamaican Sorrel | Fact and Benefits

[@loulous7]

This southern gal fell in love with Sorrel at a young age visiting family up North during the holidays. I’ve had a few cultures versions Trinidadian, Jamaican, Mexican and Senegalese. All delicious! I’m currently growing a plant for the 1st time

[@Danfoodforest]

That's awesome ... it always been a favorite drink as a kid Thank you so much Have a nice day.

[@mr.levelup3889]

I’m ready to order me some seeds and try to grow a plant

[@TABULOUS1]

I drink it DAILY. I was TODAY years old when I learned the LEAVES were edible!!! I appreciate this video!

[@Danfoodforest]

Yes .. The leaves are edible .. great in salads , Thank you so much and A Big Welcome to the channel

[@027Star]

Are they good, and how do you prepare the leaves?

[@TABULOUS1]

​@@027Star SO good.... AND effective. I don't get a long enough season for a substantial harvest of calyxes, but I grow several of them every year to stock up on the leaves!! I went to your page to answer because IDK what kind of audience is in this space (and I reserve sharing sustainable knowledge except with *genuine* folks), but your comments are disabled, so I'll do a video on it rather than share details here and I'll tap your shoulder & let you know when it's posted (probably in a week or two) because since utube doesn't like that I share *ACTUAL* knowledge with MyTribe, I can prettymuch guarantee that they likely won't give you notifications for My uploads, lol..... My content *STAYS* shaddowed 😅😂🤣

[@auyannaplants]

I am growing roselle this year. We had the calyx from this variety very early. I have been drying them mainly for tea and I love it. I want to grow alot next year. Thanks for sharing!

[@freespirit2194]

It grows well here in Australia too. We call it Rosella. Rosella jam is highly prized. Much blessings my friend :)

[@Danfoodforest]

I know ... Awesome shrub .. The Jam is delicious Thank you so much

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

Thank you for the education on this plant.

[@lovenotes5299]

I'm growing Rosele- Jamaican Sorrel she's wide and tall ,but no calasus yet . I needed this video

[@Danfoodforest]

Hey Lovenotes It will begin to bloom as the days shorten, Calyces will ready for harvest in October or November• in zones 9-10 . Cooler zones maybe Late September Thank you so much for watching

[@lovenotes5299]

One flower showed up the next day, and today it was closed and off the plant. A funny looking closed claw was there

[@helnbak08]

Australia too Dan outback and Aboriginal women love to make jam and it is prevalent on roadsides in the top end❤

[@YourNextCast]

Hey Dan good morning, that is what I love about your channel. I always get introduced to a plant that I haven't heard of before or seen before.

[@Danfoodforest]

Greatness Wednesday Brother Titus Thank you so much ..People might be growing a little bored with the usual apples, grapes, lettuce, and broccoli commonly found in stores. Wanted to open there eyes/mind and give something new a try. Thank you so much

[@CraftingMyBestLifewithLisa]

I love hibiscus tea. Such great 👍🏼 formation Dan. I bet if you steamed fish in parchment paper and added the hibiscus leaves, it would hold in all of the flavor and turn a pretty color. A chef once taught me to cook fish in parchment paper and I loved it.

[@Danfoodforest]

The recipe using the leaves with fish sounds very interesting ... will definitely try it The chef is right ... I do cook trout in parchment paper Thank you so much

[@GutenGardening]

We have a bag of dried sorrel, not that we grew, but that we got from family, and we have to make some sorrel drink soon. My wife definitely had it growing up. We haven't been back to Jamaica for a while, but I know you aren't kidding about the popularity. Great video as always!

[@Danfoodforest]

Remember to add some grated ginger .. Thank you so much

[@GutenGardening]

@@Danfoodforest We will make it happen! We drink a lot of ginger tea anyway as well. So helpful and delicious!

[@vnxettitw4879]

Ohhh sorrel shandy!!! Yum! Your voice is very soothing. I made a sour soup with the leaves. Growing a bunch now.

[@GullahGeecheeFarmer]

Very nice. I plan to cultivate sorrell in South Carolina for some restaurants.

Beautiful farm you got. I enjoyed watching you harvest pineapples on instagram feed

[@Danfoodforest]

Thank you very much

[@brandonmonroe7050]

I watched all of your videos on roselle and your plants are very productive what fertilizer do you use?

[@Danfoodforest]

Thank you so much! When I made this video, it was a chop-and-drop process. However, now that I have rabbits and chickens, I can use the mature compost.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Such a beautiful plant. Reminds me of cranberry juice. Tart wise. Thanks for sharing

[@Danfoodforest]

Its a lot better than Cranberry ... More of a sweet back end taste ... My kids love picking and eating the calyces. Thank you so much for watching Have a great day

[@KVsPlantsOrchids]

[@Danfoodforest]

Yes ... Im growing both ... amazing plants Thank you so much

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

Now that you mentioned about having Roselle tea in Jamaica I am hoping I get my little plant going and then I will send some Calyxes to my former bosses. They were English Jamaicans and used to love finding Scotch bonnets growing as a decorative plants in Boca Raton, where I used to be a Bridal Consultant for their Bridal business. I know they would be so grateful for the roselle. Sweet people and great to work for too.I missed what you feed to that Roselle it is huge Dan!

Wow your Roselle is flowering early... I actually don’t have any growing this season. Room is hard to come by in my food forest.. but I do need to find a spot for some. I really enjoy it as a refreshing drink

[@OrlandoBackyardGardening]

I do have a lot of the cranberry roselle all over because it reseeded itself but not the calyx roselle for some reason

[@Danfoodforest]

It starts pushing fruit in April,.. really surprise when I saw it ...Some strange weather patterns may have caused it ... I know ... always looking for space to add something new ..

Thank you Ms Linda ... Love sharing what I have learned. Have a beautiful rest of the day 🌻

[@CourageousKay_19]

That’s to you I know that the leaves could be eaten and the roots. Growing up all I knew about was the drink for Christmas. Hearing you say you don’t want to eat no bugs reminds me of my cousins daughter, you can never get her to eat green leaves vegetables, she said she doesn’t want to eat the bugs🤣

[@dlewis612]

Hi Dan thanks so much for the seeds, I love hibiscus tea and sorrel. I planted 3 and gifted one to my mom. I’m using grow bags, but my mom has more space, so her’s is in ground. Great video, going to move mine to an area of the yard that gets more sun. Take care

[@Danfoodforest]

You are most welcome .. The tea is amazing ... Thank you so much ...

[@JacquelineBrown]

Wow make sense that it’s used instead of cranberries. Looove sorrel usually only have it at Christmas I like mine with loads of Wray&nephew . I like he tea too but have only ever had the bag one,

[@Danfoodforest]

I can drink Sorrel 365 days of the year ... hahahah Thank you

[@JacquelineBrown]

Dan Permaculture Food Forest me too if it was readily available

I'm going to do some reading on this and try to grow it next year, Thank you fir the information, excellent video

Key things when starting roselle from seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. When seedlings are 3-4 inches high, transplant them into a spot in the garden that gets full sun.

[@denisesorchidparadise1411]

@@Danfoodforest so they are annuals, you need to start them each year? I thought it was a bush!

[@Danfoodforest]

@@denisesorchidparadise1411 They are annual in colder zones ... Biennial plant in warmer zones

Definitely a very informative video, Brother Dan. We are going to keep trying to grow roselle until we get it right. Take care and stay safe, Rob

Hey Brother Rob ... Great Wednesday to you and Family Key for colder states 6-8 weeks before the last frost. When seedlings are 4-5 inches high, transplant them into a spot in the garden that gets full sun. Plenty of Sun.. no shade

[@EssayonsFG]

Thank you. I'm trying again in 2021, Brother Dan! Putting them in the big green keyhole beds.

[@GrowSomethinwithJeff]

Very informative. That has a ton of uses, very versatile. Has a lot of vitamins. Have you made it into powder? Maybe add that into smoothies too. Use the powder as a rub for the fish. Just throwing out ideas. 😁 Thanks for the informative video.

[@LittleJordanFarm]

Great info Dan...love love the benefits and sounds like a tea would be great as well as eaten straight..thank you stay well

Pack with medicinal l benefits .. They take 3 to 5 months to mature/Harvest ... and the leaves are great in a salad Thank you Ms Tammy Blessings

Dan Permaculture Food Forest I’m definitely starting seeds in 2021 to get a better jump in the garden.. I bought all my plants this year and my harvest are very small compared to last

[@SuffolkSusie]

Such a beautiful fruit the roselles callus. I wonder how well it could do in zone 7. I'd like to try.. so many benefits and uses. Very informative video 👍

[@Danfoodforest]

Will grow perfectly ok as an annual ....start roselle from seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.

[@yacabe]

I am also in zone 7B specifically and am growing this next year. But I'm wondering how big the plant will grow in 7B so I can plan enough space for it in my raised beds. I'm also starting them indoors.

[@TheBullsGarden]

Good morning brother Dan. I really enjoyed the video very informative, I’m gonna order some of those Roselle seeds there, so I can grow some this spring in my garden.

How long does it take roselle to flower ?

[@Danfoodforest]

Roselle is day-length sensitive”, the light cycle affects when the plant will bloom. .. shorter days you will start to seeing flowers

I want to do this work and I am happy to do it together with Ethiopia

[@dreyno64]

My roselle is just now fruiting but my climate is about to play out (7b) - can the calyxes be harvested before blooming to use for tea? Are the health benefits compromised? Love your accent!

[@Danfoodforest]

Hey Deniser , Thank you for checking out the video The calyxes do need to push blooms before harvest .. -5-7 days after the blooms you can harvest are you growing the plants in containers ?

[@dreyno64]

@@Danfoodforest sadly no - and frost is coming soon. Next year I’ll plant earlier to avoid this. I went ahead and picked a mix of pre and post bloom. I figured even weak benefits were better than none. Leaving some for seed.

I decided to try growing roselle in a 17 gallon pot. I think I may have planted too many seeds in there. The plants are short and are just now starting to flower. I planted two different kinds. One is called Thai Red Roselle and the other St. Kitt & Nevis Roselle. I don’t know if there is a difference or if this is just where the seeds originated.

[@Danfoodforest]

It grows pretty wide and tall too .. There are different varieties .. I think the difference is the size of the calyces Do you have more of the Thai Red Roselle seeds ? Thanks for watching ... Have a good evening
