I feel so stupid! I nearly cut down almost all the bushes beside my house, just to discover today their Carolina Cherries! In my defense I'm a Yankee transplant. Thank God, a few still remain.
@@jawnaraestokes5836Not really. They usually bring their politics with them. Only thing worse is someone from Californiastan. Welcome to the South, now go home. You ain't from around here are ya. Now go on and git.
I was giddy when I saw the second tree and raced outside, grabbed leaves and asked my husband if he knew what GOLD we had. He named the tree. I asked how he knew and why was he holding out? He has no idea it is a remedy. I have no idea what trees we have. I crushed the leaves and voila! Cherry! Thanks so much!
Awesome! Yeah for the laurel cherry it isn't reported as medicinal anywhere online or in books. I've looked and looked. I learned it first hand from an herbalist recently who said it was safe, and sure enough it works just like the other cherries.
I'm in South East NC and a WV native. I have the acreage to plant. You do mention the ones used in landscape. I'm interested in what can be propagated or moved to my property. I see homesteaders doing food forests, I think a medicine forest would be an interesting project. A place where everything in the borders is medicinal.
Welcome to NC! I’m in Beaufort County now but grew up in Edgecombe County. Spent 31 years in the Eastern Panhandle of WV before moving back to NC. Consider both “home”. Enjoy your new home.
@@m1cajah thank you. I didn't mean to leave the impression that I am new here. I have lived here since 1988. I grew up in the WV woods I know what I'm looking for there. All my years here I worked and had scant time to get into the woods here and learn them. The way things are distributed here compared to there things you may find scattered in a mountain forest seem to be restricted to ditch banks ,the edge's of swamps, or a high spot that isn't a pine forest. Seems many of the same things are here or more. They are ahrigated a little differently. I've had encounters with several water moccasins, so the critter load is different.the worst Experian e so far was walking a dry swamp and breaking through the dirt into a stump hole I was wet above my belt line. Got my cardio that day for sure..
@@charlesvickers4804 Ah ok! I shouldn’t have assumed 😝. I understand about the distribution of useful plants here. I spent most of my time growing up in the swamps and deep woods in ENC on our farm and can easily relate to the stump hole incident.

Mathew Wood wrote that wild cherry bark can be used for heart palpitations, as you mentioned. I started getting heart palpitations a few months after having Covid. It worked SO quickly!!!!!! I had randomly already had made a tincture, which is what I used. I love that you are spreading the info of this very very helpful plant.
Matthew, just saying Thank you for your thorough teaching. The visual and detailed description is very helpful in identifying things. Then, showing us ways to harvest,use, and preserve it helps us benefit from this video. Keep teaching us more please.
just glad to know they'll grow in florida, because if they can do it there i can get at least half the results in california (yay us for being the only two states with multiple sizeable zone ten areas that can grow tropical and subtropical fruit.....texas,be quiet with your little dick tip of a zone ten, heck that's practically part of mexico nowadays.)
I keep boxes of Wild Cherry Bark tea in my house. I order it from Buddha Tea. It does help the lungs and I keep Wild Cherry Bark cough syrup in the house too.
Very interesting. I'm glad I now know not to use heat in the infusion! I have several of the p. serotinas in my yard. Some years back I had some large trees cut down, and told them do not hurt this cherry tree. Well, as luck would have it, my cherry tree was destroyed. Broke my heart. But there's one growing in its place! So one of the guys saved the cherry wood, and brought me back a nicely turned & finished rolling pin. I thought that was so sweet! So it's turned into a win-win after all!
Thank you. I love all the natural options you give us. This a special one for me as I suffer from lung disease, and I'm fighting to keep my lower left lobe. I think the wild cherry could give me some more time. Please write a complete book of all the wonder medicinal herbs and their uses. Your episodes are all saved, but I worry about access if they are taken down, someday. God Bless you for your hard work.❤❤❤
Wow thanks man I knew what the Cherry tree is but the bush one I never knew that was cherry I really appreciate your channel and email ive found out I have most all the stuff you show but the worst thing is it’s in a pine thicket they will cut everything or just kill it for the pines makes me sad how loggers kill everything in that manner we got the land afterwards so nothing I can do unless I harvest the pines as pulp wood but no one does that kind of work they all just use heavy machinery now a days but regardless thank you for your channel and the time you put into it for my viewing I pray you have a good one and you and yours are safe with peace joy and happiness along with good health much love from the hills of Mississippi can’t wait to see what’s next
Really appreciate the education on the black cherry tree. Our local conservation office sells root stock in the spring in SE MI. I love cherries but was thrown off by the height. Nice to know it has medicinal benefits, though the fruit not so much.
I know that wilted leaves for sure make a difference. I was climbing around through a fallen down maple tree when I was a kid. It had came down a day or two before and I was having a ball climbing through all the limbs. The leaves were all hanging limp. After an hour or so all of a sudden I felt like I got bit with a thousand mosquitoes down my back all at once. Ripped my shirt off and went screaming into the house (ya I was 7 or 8 lol)...here I was plastered with bright red hives everywhere. Never been allergic to anything maple before or since. The only thing different was those wilted leaves. I figured it was some sort of defense mechanism by the plant. So I've heard about wilted cherry being toxic to horses and never doubted it.
Plant medicines are our only defense against the politicized medical INDUSTRY. I would not use a doctor but for the need of a prescription for certain medications. I often think about what happens when the supplies are no longer available and the trucks are not delivering. Been preparing for this eventuality…
same here, sowexotic is a great site for many plants that can help us in various ways, if in temperate areas or tropical, look into moringa,you won't regret it, unfortunately many helpful plants don't grow well if at all below zone 8 8-10 are where it's at ,basically the West from central California and down to the right stretching as far right as Florida and as far up as central ish texas.
Black cherry grows in most of the cattle pastures in michigan. Most cattle know not to eat certain things. The berries and leaves get very tanic. That's why we farmers call it choke cherry.
My great grandfather who was born in the hills and hollers of north Kentucky was pretty knowledgeable about medicinal plants. He would go into the woods where we lived ( up a Hollar in the hills of southern Ohio) gather ginseng, yellow root and the bark of wild cherry and put them into water let them soak. He added brandy to his and we would drink some every day. The yellow root made it really bitter. That was his tonic. He lived to be 93. Oh yes about the leaves of wild cherry, the electric company was using a helicopter with a dangling big saw blade to trim the trees along their electric lines. They were cutting by our pasture where we had miniature donkeys. The people doing the cutting made sure that none of the trees they trimmed were wild cherry and that no leaves had fallen in the pasture or outside where our donkeys could get to them. Evidently they believed those leaves were poisonous. So maybe you could also talk about yellow root.
Had these in the yard years ago as a kid. Called them Choke Cherries. The berries would ferment in late fall and the squirrels would eat them. We would hear a big thump on the roof when they lost balance high in the tree from being drunk!
Interesting too silver was used for its 99.9% antibacterial properties. With a charge less than .0 it's 100% antibacterial. Silver mesh is also a great EMF shield for those sensitive to EMF.
This is to your back in the comment. Nice work I'm a new sub and already enjoy your work please keep it coming friend. More need this information. Living of the land is a forgotten thing that shouldn't be
It's not just trees, but there's so many awesome herbs out there that most people just see as weeds. But so many great plants are also so abundant. Look up lambs quarters. Look up thorn apple for epilepsy and for pain reduction. Wild carrot flowers for digestion issues and the carrot for menstrual pain. There's so much out there!
Ok, a very interesting video and I learned a couple things. I always thought that the legacy cherry remedies were mostly placebo and scammy w/o much medicinal value except maybe the glycerin used as a throat emollient. But this video explains that there is an active component that has a physiological effect, namely Prunasin, which I did not know. What's even more interest is that this medicine is essentially cyanide. It is understood that often poisons in the right doses are medicines, but this was quite interesting too.
I made a memosa Bark tea a while back just from curiosity and made it way way to strong. It definitely stripped my throat and I felt as though I had poisoned myself. These things are extremely strong don’t assume because their natural their weak.
I had a black cherry tree drop some limbs in a storm recently. I didnt get to them quick enough, and one of my younger calves found the limbs. He ate the wilted leaves and was dead within an hour...Went into respiratory distress, and started foaming from the mouth and nose.

I've always heard cherry laurel was toxic but just to be clear you are saying the bark is fine for medicinal purposes? My dad has a large one in one of his yards. I might have to nip a branch off it next time I'm there. Were you saying that you've eaten the fruit before too? If so no ill effects? Pretty sure I have wild black cherries around my area. I'll have to confirm. Wouldn't mind having some on my land but I don't think I do naturally. Lots of good stuff in the Florida panhandle area. Waiting on the wild persimmon to ripen up right now and then I'll go collect a bunch. I really like them when they're fully ripe.
Yeah I always heard it was toxic too and was afraid to try it for a while, but I finally asked a very experienced herbalist and he said it was fine. I've been using it ever since(medicinally). You will even see it reported as toxic on websites but it's just as safe as the regular wild cherry everyone uses. I've never eaten the fruit though, only used the bark.
I used to stay at my step grandparents house a lot as a kid and they were old fashioned mountain folks. They had electricity but no running water... "Im not going to 💩 under the same roof I eat under" Honestly I can't argue with the logic 😂 Anyways I was young and was shown several edible plants, although I don't even know the names of some of them 😅 I don't eat handfuls of it but I do like to munch on Sheep Sorrel it has a distinct sourness that is pleasant. Another one was a tree but usually relatively small tree that had simple oblong but pointed tip leaves that I have no clue the name of. There are many leaves that look similar but I can tell by the look and feel and ultimately the taste because all other varieties that look similar taste terrible while this one also has a sourness to it. Anyways I would like to figure out the name one day. Been quite a while since Ive seen one but haven't done much walking in the woods lately. Perhaps you'd know the name. It's kind of hard to describe other than it is just a leafy thing. As I don't recall seeing any flowers or anything on one. Edit: area is northern part of NC/southern VA Appalachian mountain area.
I'm from southern Europe so I have to investigate if any of the tees you mentioned grow here but in the meantime could the bark of a regular cherry fruit tree have the same purpose? Lots of cherry farms near where I live.
@@pollyjazz It depends, if the bark has a strong cherry smell then it will work the same. I've read that some of the domestic cherries aren't as strong.
the only nagging and painful thing relating to my grandmother would have been the old hag ass wench myself, lady never cared how anyone but herself felt,thought, lived everything really.
I read that cherry was used for the liver in Southern folk medicine. It's great to hear a first hand report of it being used this way. Thanks for commenting!
The old 1800's medical books would say that it was strongest in the fall, and that info has made it into modern books. I'm not so sure. It smells really strong in the spring, and I harvest it all year.
Matthew, watching you 'chaw-down' on fresh bark has led me to the following question: Which layer of the bark is the target? I ask this only from the thought of chewing it. Can you scrape (shave) the external-most portion of the bark (removing any moss/lichen or other potential contaminants) before harvesting the bark to chew? Also, does any of the fragrance of the bark carry through to the palate, lol?
Hi Steven! With any medicinal tree its the inner bark you're after. You can absolutely scrape the outer bark away, but with the laurel cherry it's paper thin so I don't worry about it. The cherry flavor definitely comes through lol. Thanks for watching!
Can you make a video using everclear and cherry bark, like how much of both products, I have a really bad breathing problems and would live to give it a try, I take 4 breathing treatment a day, plus 2 different puffers. Thank you. JJ
I pack the bark tightly in the jar and cover it to the very top with everclear. No need for precise measurements. Let it sit for 4-6 weeks, then try about 20-30 drops in a glass of water. One thing I've really been wanting to get into is using herbs in a nebulizer. Applying them directly to the lungs will be way more effective. Once I figure out exactly how to do it I'm planning on making a video about it.
I would imagine they would be used the same but I've never seen or read about one being used so I can't say for sure. The strong cherry smell in the bark is a good indicator that it has the same properties.
Have you have knowledge about mulberry leaves as being editable and used as a tea. I understand it is high in Vitamin C. Do you know anything about this tree leaves. I have quite a few in my yard. They are none fruit bearing.
I feel so stupid! I nearly cut down almost all the bushes beside my house, just to discover today their Carolina Cherries! In my defense I'm a Yankee transplant. Thank God, a few still remain.

The wilted leaves are more concentrated and when a plant is stressed it puts out more chemicals.

I was taught most bark hetbs use only the inner bark the fine line stuff between the outside bark and the wood?
In this case the outer bark is so thin it's not worth the time to separate, but you're correct the inner bark is the medicine.
I've always heard cherry laurel was toxic but just to be clear you are saying the bark is fine for medicinal purposes? My dad has a large one in one of his yards. I might have to nip a branch off it next time I'm there. Were you saying that you've eaten the fruit before too? If so no ill effects?
Pretty sure I have wild black cherries around my area. I'll have to confirm. Wouldn't mind having some on my land but I don't think I do naturally. Lots of good stuff in the Florida panhandle area. Waiting on the wild persimmon to ripen up right now and then I'll go collect a bunch. I really like them when they're fully ripe.
Yeah I always heard it was toxic too and was afraid to try it for a while, but I finally asked a very experienced herbalist and he said it was fine. I've been using it ever since(medicinally). You will even see it reported as toxic on websites but it's just as safe as the regular wild cherry everyone uses. I've never eaten the fruit though, only used the bark.
@@LegacyWildernessAcademy cool thanks man
Here in California I haven’t seen wild cherry. Can one substitute the bark of the cultivated sweet cherry - like bing cherries?
I used to stay at my step grandparents house a lot as a kid and they were old fashioned mountain folks. They had electricity but no running water... "Im not going to 💩 under the same roof I eat under"
Honestly I can't argue with the logic 😂
Anyways I was young and was shown several edible plants, although I don't even know the names of some of them 😅
I don't eat handfuls of it but I do like to munch on Sheep Sorrel it has a distinct sourness that is pleasant.
Another one was a tree but usually relatively small tree that had simple oblong but pointed tip leaves that I have no clue the name of. There are many leaves that look similar but I can tell by the look and feel and ultimately the taste because all other varieties that look similar taste terrible while this one also has a sourness to it. Anyways I would like to figure out the name one day. Been quite a while since Ive seen one but haven't done much walking in the woods lately. Perhaps you'd know the name.
It's kind of hard to describe other than it is just a leafy thing. As I don't recall seeing any flowers or anything on one.
Edit: area is northern part of NC/southern VA Appalachian mountain area.
I looks like it feels good, lol. Great video
In Iowa, we have Wild Nanking Cherries, I wonder if we can use those?
I'm from southern Europe so I have to investigate if any of the tees you mentioned grow here but in the meantime could the bark of a regular cherry fruit tree have the same purpose? Lots of cherry farms near where I live.
@@pollyjazz It depends, if the bark has a strong cherry smell then it will work the same. I've read that some of the domestic cherries aren't as strong.
What does it taste like? Thanks
It has a bitter cherry flavor
the only nagging and painful thing relating to my grandmother would have been the old hag ass wench myself, lady never cared how anyone but herself felt,thought, lived everything really.
My grandpa used for jaundice.
I read that cherry was used for the liver in Southern folk medicine. It's great to hear a first hand report of it being used this way. Thanks for commenting!
Does it matter which time of the year you harvest it?
The old 1800's medical books would say that it was strongest in the fall, and that info has made it into modern books. I'm not so sure. It smells really strong in the spring, and I harvest it all year.
Lol...'half of you all are southerners, and know how to do this....' 😂. Yep! Thank you for the great content!!?
Lol its so true
Will the infusion weaken if you add honey or sugar to it for sweet taste or no?
Matthew, watching you 'chaw-down' on fresh bark has led me to the following question:
Which layer of the bark is the target? I ask this only from the thought of chewing it. Can you scrape (shave) the external-most portion of the bark (removing any moss/lichen or other potential contaminants) before harvesting the bark to chew? Also, does any of the fragrance of the bark carry through to the palate, lol?
Hi Steven! With any medicinal tree its the inner bark you're after. You can absolutely scrape the outer bark away, but with the laurel cherry it's paper thin so I don't worry about it. The cherry flavor definitely comes through lol. Thanks for watching!
Can you make a video using everclear and cherry bark, like how much of both products, I have a really bad breathing problems and would live to give it a try, I take 4 breathing treatment a day, plus 2 different puffers. Thank you. JJ
I pack the bark tightly in the jar and cover it to the very top with everclear. No need for precise measurements. Let it sit for 4-6 weeks, then try about 20-30 drops in a glass of water. One thing I've really been wanting to get into is using herbs in a nebulizer. Applying them directly to the lungs will be way more effective. Once I figure out exactly how to do it I'm planning on making a video about it.
@LegacyWildernessAcademy I have a nebulizer after I make a bach I'll give it a try and let you know, thank you for the fast response. JJ
Can cherry Blossom tree bark work?
I would imagine they would be used the same but I've never seen or read about one being used so I can't say for sure. The strong cherry smell in the bark is a good indicator that it has the same properties.
Need FOOD that can be collected in the SE !
Kudzu.
@@reibersue4845 No kudzu in the woods....
Have you have knowledge about mulberry leaves as being editable and used as a tea. I understand it is high in Vitamin C. Do you know anything about this tree leaves. I have quite a few in my yard. They are none fruit bearing.
Samuel Thayer reports that the young leaves of mulberry are edible raw or cooked.
