Too Late?

(1/2) > >>

Wasatchhawk:
Is it too late to gather Red Osier shoots?  I found a couple posts on here saying they collect in the winter. I might be able to still find them at 10,000 to 12,000 foot elevation.  I was at 8,000 last week and they were starting to leaf out.

Pat B:
Randy, Cut some and see. Leave the bark on for sure until they are dry. They will probably check if you peel them too soon. I have collected sourwood shoots during each season and they were fine. Some shoots like viburnum will probably check if cut now.   Pat

Hillbilly:
I've cut shoots summer, winter, spring and fall. Like Pat said, if you cut 'em now, just leave the bark on for a few weeks.

Coo-wah-chobee:
             Yup like Hillbilly said:"Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring " :D.........bob

Wasatchhawk:
Thanks that gives me hope,  The place I was going hiking this week has big patches.  I'll get several things done at once.
