🔍 When is it ripe?
Apple (Malus): Background skin colour shifts from green toward yellow; seeds turn brown when ripe. Fruit separates from the spur with a gentle upward twist. Aroma develops near the base. Wild Malus fruit is often small and tart — excellent for cider and jelly.
Black locust: Flowers (white, fragrant clusters) are edible in May and can be eaten raw, fried in batter, or made into syrup. The seeds and green pods are toxic — do not eat. Harvest flowers only.
Japanese knotweed: Harvest young red-tinged shoots in early spring when under 30 cm tall. Tastes like rhubarb — very tart; high in oxalic acid. Cook before eating. Excellent for crumbles and jam. Highly invasive — harvesting actively helps control it.
