Japanese knotweed
📍 5334 NE Irving St, Portland, OR 97213, 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.
I grows right behind the end of the road at the top of the hill, above the max track. Edible as it first sprouts in the spring. Sometimes the businesses by it try to kill it off, but it keeps coming back. Yield may be good some years and bad others because of this.
