Oddbean new post about login | logout @afb108af @adfbf87b @61669509 This is a resource you should know. They do wonderful work and really should get major grant funding. https://pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Callicarpa+pedunculata

@2964c9c2 @afb108af @adfbf87b @61669509 If pfaf marks it below 3 out of 5 on edibility, it's pretty much a starvation crop.
@54ea3b55 @2964c9c2 @afb108af @61669509 pfaf doesn’t even have edibility rating for Boehmeria cylindrica and other native edible plants. I find that some of their sources (listed at the bottom) are really dated. The site might say it’s hard to clone but there are cloning techniques that have been developed that are more effective than the older sources posted. Also better seed germination techniques for recalcitrant seeds.
