Japanese knotweed
📍 1600 W 41st St, Baltimore, MD 21211, 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.
There is a lot of knotweed growing by the bank of the stream. The shoots that look like asparagus are edible but the plant is invasive and people tend to spray it with pesticides to try to kill it so make sure you only harvest from plants that have not been sprayed
