Video Transcription

hey sweety nanna survival sent me to talk about Partridge Barry don't go away all right so what you're looking for we have opposite leaves with a vein down the center that's very light a red berry that terminates at the very end and it's a kind of brown woody stem and it crawls on the ground it likes to grow in these large mats as you can see on the ledge here from the river all this green see in front of you it's Partridge Barry ok so I'm going to take some of these berries and give him a taste so that's what I get you really don't even have a taste maybe

very mild

i think i'm looking forward really to find the taste did not bitter but not sweet these very alkaline very kind of kind of thin

I get those all day there are

not bad

I'm really good I guess by not being bad they are good okay so

harvest some of these leaves charbon these

got like five here a little better not them so top of the leaves rock and problem with that at all the berries far away the leaves inedible value when you find him find him there's thousands thousands and thousands of leaves here is probably hundreds of berries all right so give you a close-up on how they grow as you can see it's a plant that crawls on the ground leaves are opposite have a big white van going down the middle very hard to misidentify this plan

and will you'll find the berry it's right at the end all right now I'll pull a book out put a page 174

and I laptop project Barry okay okay so going to find small paired roundish evergreen leaves I notice that they're opposite and simple this is a picture right here in kuwait flowers when it's in that stage it flowers due to july the fruit are in july and persist all through winter and the leaves are off often variegated with that with the whitest lines you know those whitish lines that main stem going right down the easiest way to see ok so the berry is right at the end it terminates the stem and it's a nibble or salad so you can nibble on the leaves I use a salad eat the small berries to dry CD and tasteless and they are you can feel a little seed in there when you chillin and they are pretty dry and the are pretty tasteless they're quite edible raw may be used as colorful addition to cells and then the berries often remain on the stems / winter which is absolutely the case all right listen to mention a to survival thanks for joining me today for Partridge Barry I appreciate your views your constant support see in the next one take
