Description

The listing, SONGBIRD PLANT (POKEWEED) 5 seeds has ended.

pokeweed one of america's great greens hard to fix but oh so great tasting if you like greens
the auction is for 10 seeds more than enough to get you started you can learn how to prepare by talking to the older members of your family or the southern branch of the family , youtube also has many videos on how to prepare this delicious green , or you can do as l do and just let the darn thing grow and attract songbirds to your back yard , the finches really love the seeds
the plant grows about 8 feet tall and is covered with the berries as you can see from the pictures and each berry has 4-8 seeds gret plant for that spot in the gearden thats hard to find a plant for 8 feet tall and about 6 feet of spread and you will have birds every where lol
They include mourning doves, bluebirds, robins, mockingbirds, and cedar waxwings, all of which commonly eat fruit. Flickers, red-bellied woodpeckers, phoebes, kingbirds, catbirds, cardinals, rose-breasted grosbeaks, and white-throated sparrows also feast on these berries. Migrating birds stop and fuel up on them.
all listia rules apply good luck and happy bidding

Needs to be eaten when very young! Once it grows to a certain point it can be poisonous!!! Please research the plant if you grow it before you attempt to cook and eat the greens. I hear they are delicious but they have to be picked from young plants.

and they need to be boiled twice , l boil mine once then put it in the freezer that way all l have to do is pop it out of the freezer and boil one time and put it on the table
but one thing that people are overlooking this plant can feed dozens of birds , l usually spread some in a small wooded area
