Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Pamela, I started my shou wu from root cuttings that I ordered from Elixir Farm Botanicals, Brixey, MO 65618, 417-261-2393. It will take 3 or more years to have a bit to harvest. Needs a lot of shade and a trellis or something to climb on. The rhizomes have a very beautiful lustrous plum color skin, warm ivory flesh inside, and smell a little like potatoes, fresh out of the earth. I rinsed the dirt off and dried them a few days, then sliced and let them dry until chip-like. The deep earthy aroma filled my house for weeks. Frances wrote: Try plantitherbs.com, for a start.

It would work well in stout. Frances Gander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
