Japanese knotweed
📍 193 E 8th St, Holland, MI 49423, USA
🗓 Season: March · April · May
🔍 When is it ripe?
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.
An invasive species similar to bamboo. Grows very quickly and very dense. This specific stand is fairly easy to collect, as there are no other surrounding plants.
(Illegal to cultivate in MI)
