Harvesting Staghorn Sumac !.mpg

[jackamesandwhich]

Can u buy the berrie part anywhere because I don't know anyone who grows it.

[medicjimr]

@jackamesandwhich I pick these late summer there all around the midatlantic and east coast never bought them and not sure if possible

[MrGardenman101]

What time of year is it ready to harvest for drink? And are there any other uses for it?

[medicjimr]

@MrGardenman101 I want to say June or July was when I picket it the fruit wants to be bright velvety and catch before a hard rain as it will wash away the flavor. I am only aware of the drink with it I would imagine other uses and will have to research myself not to steer you wrong.

[BushcraftOnFire]

Well done Bro... Excellent video!

[medicjimr]

@BushcraftOnFire Thanks Dave appreciate your feedback

[Ggreenvideos]

well it looked tasty :o) Something I'll never get to try. Keep it natural buddy. Don't add the sugar.

[musicoutsidethebox]

@Ggreenvideos sugar is natural...

[Cr0cket20]

Very interesting. Plant identification is fun. I don't know much about it so this was fun to watch.

[medicjimr]

@Cr0cket20 Ya I am still learning I need to take my wild harvest book out more on day hikes and learn some more thanks for watching and commenting

[hinckleypoland]

hmm looks interesting. Thanks for sharing Jim.

[medicjimr]

@hinckleypoland Welcome my friend stay safe

[RallohE]

Good vid ... and one of my favorite natural drinks. Love the stuff myself!

[medicjimr]

@RallohE Ya It was a learning curve for me but I like it

[RallohE]

@medicjimr I usually don't crush it more than push it in the water and let it seep for about 3 hours ... that works about right for me. Never sweeten it but some folks prefer it a bit sweet.

[medicjimr]

@RallohE Ok I will try that next time also I will harvest it next when we have a few days of a dry spell too so the flavor hasn't been washed off by the rain

Anyone who saw my previous comment i appologize for it. it was just meant to be a teasing joke. not to be taken seriously. Jim is a good friend and a great stand up guy.

[medicjimr]

@FixedByDoc Chill pecker head it's all good

[bushcraftbartons]

looks good Jim...very interesting...thanks!

[medicjimr]

@bushcraftbartons Thanks Mike I like to try things out when I am confident it's what it's supposed to be

[Ghostkamo]

Excellent, it's good to see someone go through the process and try it. I meant to tell you that the ones I saw up in NY were ripe last weekend. The ones near me did not produce this year.

[medicjimr]

@Ghostkamo after it chilled in fridge and I added a cup of sugar to the batch it's really good Now I was surprised though it's a darker tea color compared to a pink like I seen on another video by eat the weeds The ones like you showed are just starting to ripen around here there not as common though as the stag horn I will eventually give them a try.

[medicjimr]

My best to you as well JC hope life is treating you well and that the tropical storm Bonnie doesn't bring you and yours harm
