Cattails lived in the swamp behind my house in 1966! I still know the song of the red winged blackbird and it is because of all my adventures in 6th grade. Thank you cousin Chris and awesome wife Kim.
What a lesson, Chris!
And after you eat it can use the fibers for flossing, lol. Wow some amazing info here man.
wow! very interesting, very good knowledge to know. Thanks for educating me on this plant!! It's good to know such things to know, how to survive in the wilds!!! Thank You!
good stuff, and also you sound like dana carvey
info of the day right there
Nice video. I'd like to try planting them in a saltwater estuary with a three foot tide swing. Do you know which variety I should plant and where to put them relative to the high tide level? At the moment I have all phragmites but was told that 40 years ago it was all cattails.
That sounds amazing. There may be different sub-species of cattails in different regions including saltier water, so we'll try to research that s well, but let us know if you find a source in your area that worked!
wondering if you could puree cattail to turn it into some kind of pasta, non GMO , gluten free spaghetti pasta????
Great question. Let us know if you give it a try!
Its Shawn woods, he knows about wild harvesting and what parts of the cattails you can eat
Do you have a pic of how it turned out? Of how your planted cat tails turned out.
We're doing daily live broadcasts and I plan to be out at the same location by the street tomorrow, and will show you how different things look now. We ended up putting most of the cattails to the right in the deeper swale, and btw, you can see those from the opposite perspective at the end of a birding broadcast from a couple days ago: ruclips.net/video/qRizXXJz9Z8/видео.html
when is it best to transplant to other pond?
Fall is good, but we did it in the winter since it doesn't freeze much around here at sea level. There's a short window in the spring before the shoots start growing as well. Anytime might work as long as you have a small shoot with decent roots and it stays wet.
So its best to harvest cattails in feb/mar to transplant?? Guess I should go google it. Have perfect femma flood zone property for this.
See above answer under Shane's question. Let us know how it worked for you.
Dear god, quite saying ryzone
Thanks for this video on harvesting cattails. It helped me feel confident to correctly identify and harvest cattails as research for an article I was writing. The piece was accepted and published by Northern Woodlands Magazine and you can read about it vagabondway.net/cattail-article-in-n-woodlands-magazine/ Thanks again! :)
didnt know we can actually eat cattail plant
gg.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typha (hot link)
this just might be the best plant species in the world that covers most major countries. Covers cordage, food, fire, shelter( insulation) and first aid.
As kids, we used to burn them.... Not sure why
