Hi. Very good data on Maqui Berry. I encountered your nice blog while researching bing. For the past few days I have been seeking to find more. Particularly anything to do with the dieting babble. I’ve heard it all and my cousin continues pushing her recent weight loss craze on me. So I am grateful I encountered you. Bye!

Actually it’s quite nice to suck on – but you can’t swallow it, which is annoying. Also break them open before trying to eat them since they can contain insects

i have just discovered the staghorn sumac or rhus typhina, and i love it however i don’t know much about it and thanks to you all i have a better understanding of this cool tree…shurb? are the birds eating this because it is a fruit or is it a seed? i am confused on the fruit statement it doesn’t appear to be very fruity. Fruit or seeds that is the question!

From the original 5 staghorn sumac I planted about 8 years ago, I now have a huge, naturalized thicket. I love these plants! Thanks for more information, Mon@rch.
I sometimes see bluejays and crows perched on it and I think cedar waxwings nested in there a couple summers ago.

I always heard that it was a last resort food for the birds but now I know why!
