Hello Tommy,

I've only seen a Pig nut on a Ray Mears episode... I'm located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada - just next to Lake Ontario in the Great lakes Region. It's looking really nice here, the blossoms are coming out on the trees this week!

Cheers - drop on by my blog when you get a chance - I like getting comments on it, and always welcome suggestions for content.

Cheers,

Mungo

That's a good pic of the foliage (I've never been sure). I'm guessing the wider leaves in the background are Bluebells? I say that because they often go hand in hand don't they? Also, is that as tall as the plant gets?

 

[pentrekeeper]

Yeah, just been for twenty minute stroll in local woods and I've found some pignuts see below.

I think there are three in total, as these are the only ones I've senn I have left them.
Does anyone know if they are still good to eat if they are flowering, also how quickly do they propogate.

Excellent photos, thanks!

Does anyone else have such detailed photos of plants to eat, or know a relevant link?

Thanks to the photo's in this thread :You_Rock_ I've just realised what all the little umbellifers in the field by the house are, hundreds of em!!

Does anyone know if they are still good to eat if they are flowering, also how quickly do they propogate.

I just tried a couple that were flowering and they tasted fine and so far no untoward after effec..............aagh
