Learn about wild food with Green Deane. In this video, we'll look a very common landscape plant that produces a lot of controversial fruit.
Thank you for your postings! I really enjoy the way you make the video as they are very educational and it is easy to remember the information.
Keep up the GREAT work!
PS.. about the music.... as a classically trained musician I know sometimes music should be front and center, and sometimes it should be wall paper.
Great. We have them in our yard. We'll give them a try. Love your videos.
Hi Deane,
I really cant say enough about how interesting and informative your vids are, they really are great!
Podocarpus, another one of those shrubs my family and I used at nausea in our landscaping business. Frankly, I just got so I disliked even the sight of them, and in so. California they are every where. However your vid has really sparked a new interest in an old familiar plant, just as you did with your vid on the Natal plum.
Thanks again Deane
Happy weed eating!
I love your videos! thank you :)
Oh man! Your teaching style is so amazing! They should teach this in science in school. Nothing but survivalist stuff and nature, and not about how to manipulate our environment.
amazing video
Brilliant!
The foot part was unexpected,enjoyed it, also your moderate use of music adds to the videos. Thanks for sharing.
lovin all the silly jokes :D and your videos are always awesome. Thank you.
If the seed is inside the fruit it is NOT the podocarpus but a Taxus.
Nice content
Yes, closely, which is why I avoided the common names. While these seeds can make you ill a single Taxus seed can stop your heart.
Where I live in the Uk Yew, (taxus Baccata) is used for the same landscaping purpose, I don't know who named this podocarpus but it at a distance it looks like a giant leaved yew, The fruit/seed of the yew is similar. All parts of the yew are highly toxic especially the seeds but the fleshy part like this podocarp is edible.(I have eaten it, very carefully though..........)
Arigato gozaiimasu, Green Deane-sensei! Yet another thing we have in common. 5 *'s for this. I've seen them here and wondered if they were edible.
I'm in Oklahoma for some time yet. But when I get back to Ohio in the next couple of months I'll take a picture if my friend is unable to send me one. Thanks for your help Deane.
Rare to find symptons in adults... more common in kids who eat a lot. From an official publication: gastrointestinal irritation often with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which may be severe.
Thanks for asking but its not my area of expertise. However, if you don't trim them regularly the will grow in to trees like tall firs.
Thanks.. as time goes on the more I am convinced it is the core in the ripe red arils that bother kids. I've had no issue with them but if a kid ate a lot of really ripe ones and a lot of cores it might account for the occassional report of low-grade toxicity (they ain't deadly like the Taxus, just the mother of all laxatives and stomach upsetter.)
Thanks.... got to make things different and interesting... you will probably never forget the foot and which part to eat....podocarpus... it was a natural.... I tried to find better body paint but.... I had spray paint but....the unexpected stays in the memory....
I have these hedges in my front and back yard. I was wondering if they were edible because the squirrels love them. They look almost exactly like the red ones you mentioned (so I'm kind of curious still). They have the little seed that sticks out like that, they're rich red (but not crimson). They are very sticky when broken open. The leaves are not that long on the stems though (maybe a half inch in length). The fruit/red part is also not completely round but round enough to be called round.
That first step wiht a new plant is always a hard one....by the way I might be in Ft. Myers next week.
Oh, we've got one of those in our yard. Unfortunately, the fruit is always very small, and I have tried separating the seed from the flesh before, but with no luck. The seeds on the one in my yard are actually almost seated inside the fruit so to grab it hard enough to remove it would also be crushing the fruit.
Thank you for the very informitive video. I was always told they are toxic. May I make a recommindation? Tell us what will happen to us if we eat the toxic parts of the plant. That will encourage us all to pay special attetion to what we are eating. Again, thank you for the videos.
They look very similar to the yew. Any chance to do a video on the yew berry?
Correct. It is not like the Taxus in which one seed can stop your heart.
It can as a potted plant protected in winter. ... and I'm glad my toes are safe....
great info, but didn't say how toxic the seeds is? and how to know if get poisoned? and what should do?
Usually with the taxus the aril surrounds the seed. With this podocarpus the aril and seed are end to end. I occassional see a Taxus here, with red and yellow fruit. As taxus and podocarpus are closely related they do look similar. Hence my foot...
Life is too short not to have some fun....
Almost all podocarpus are being sprayed with insecticides. I woud only eat from ones that have aphids a over them, that woud mean they are not being treated. Mr Deane what do you think? Thank you, big fan!
You mentioned P. elatus as a similar species, is it often or ever found in Florida landscaping?
Hay, at minute 6:31 you misspelled "macrophyllus", you spelled it "marcophyllus". I love the info!
Codex and Smartstax? I have no idea what they are... Might you be referring to a rumex of some kind? Curly dock is a possibility especially when in seed.
Is it related to the yew? It looks similar in the fruiting habit and the leaf.
You got the locales right.... as for the vine... there are many....got a little more description?
Hello Mr. Green, really like and enjoy your videos. i would like to give you a help....macrophyllus means long leaf, not big leaf. Macri is long mega-megalo is big. kind regards
One would have thought the lawyers office shrubs would have been a lot bigger with all the, well you know, "fertilizer" that they get.
Good one
Hi Dean, I am about to plant 8 Podocarpus to divide my property how you recomend to plant them..
Cultivated food is typically exposed to pesticides whereas wild food is incidental. Some are more than others with peaches and apples topping the list. Our fat fruits and moncultures are also big fat targets that are defended chemically in many cases. Wild apples are likely to be much cleaner. Just try to avoid something obvious like heavy industry. Cultivated onions and avocados are said to be rather clean. Not all toxins are the same. Plant alkaloids are broken down. Heavy metal remain.
@victorenriquemunoz A google search using Podocarpus macrophyllus and bird says no.
Five Stars!!
I had to be polite... got several lawyers subscribing... never know when I may need one....
You're welcome.
do they grow in uk
You found some natal plums? Great. They are tasty when ripe.
Does anyone know if they are toxic for birds?
P.S. I plan to harvest the fruit from the abandoned Natal plum I found and make some jam!
Deane, have you ever seen the documentary movie called "The Future of Food?" I thought about it with the mention of Codex Alimentarius in this thread.
I don't believe they mention "Codex" in that film, but it is a SHOCKING film non the less that I would highly recommend to you or anyone who reads this.
I know you don't own a TV, but you can watch it on the web at HULUdotCOM, under "movies" then "documentaries." .. If you look, I'm sure you can find it. Very disturbing video about food.
Can you send me a picture.
@EatTheWeeds Are they toxic for birds ?
Are human feet edible?
Great... just be careful and double check me on every thing. That will keep me and thee happy.
Actually that is a risk nearly everywhere now. It become a calculated decision.
MAN I LOVE THE FOOT THING. LOL
Greene Deane's Feet ?
Can we make tea out of the leaves?
NO!
Isn't it unsafe to eat any plant except in non developed areas because of the risk of pesticides, herbicides, or pollution?
I see. so in other words, we will not die if we eat the seed, but we will defently wish we did not, lol. Thanks for that information.
So the seeds are only edible if you microwave them. Got it 👍😄
No no no... the seeds are NOT edible. Throw the seed away. It is the aril that is is edible. The seed is not edible.
Wine... hmmm.... I hadn't thought of that.... must be be getting senile....
talk about an urban vineyard. another fine source of food sugar, booze or alcohol fuel.
Loco.
are you actually a teacher?
i really apperciate you NOT using common names! thank you! keep using latin names!
