Thank you for this fascinating information... I was photographing a squirrel last week in a Wych Elm, and he was snacking on the seedpods too . With big bunches in his little hands he looked like a cheerleader at an American college football game...
You make some excellent and very informative videos which are much appreciated. My tree / grass identification skills are coming on in leaps and bounds. Thank you
Have you tried the pickled seed pods yet? Curious to hear how it went! Great channel by the way, I’ve been binging your videos for the past few hours. There are a lot of similarities between the flora and fungi in the UK and in the south of Sweden, where I live. Interestingly enough, chicken of the woods doesn’t have the same reputation as a good food mushroom at all here. I will try it though, with a small sample at first of course.
Thanks. Yes the pickled seed pods were ok but I actually prefer them fresh. Chicken of the woods is very nice, but it’s best deep fried of cooked for a long time otherwise doesn’t have a nice texture :)
Errr, was it just me or was that NOT. witch elm you were showing with the seeds?! : ) ..or definitely did not have W shaped leaf tips, they were just pointed
@@fablebladesI’ve done lots of searches asking if ALL types of Elm seeds are edible, and I can’t find anything on this. Can you recommend a source? Thanks
