This Layered Bark Indicates a Life-Saving Food Source

In this video Matthew discusses the identification and edible uses of hackberry trees, including our local Southern species, the sugarberry (Celtis laevigata), as well as a few other species found across the US. Hackberries are a major survival food for those who live near their small fruit, but the usefulness of this tree is unknown to many foragers. A tasty drink called "hackberry milk" can also be made with the fruit. Click here to download my free guide to Medicinal Plants of the Southeast: https://www.legacywildernessacademy.c...
