  • Brewing Beer with Native Plants (Seasonality)
    BREWING BEER WITH INDIANA NATIVE PLANTS Proper plant identification is important. Many edible native plants have poisonous look-alikes! Availability/When to Harvest Spring. Summer. Fall Winter . Year-round . (note: some plants have more than one part that is edible, and depending on what is being harvested may determine when that harvesting period is) TREES The wood of many native trees (especially oak) can be used to age beer on, whether it be barrels or cuttings. Woods can also be used to smoke the beers/malts as well. Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis): Needles and young twigs can be brewed into a tea or added as ingredients in cooking, similar flavoring to spruce. Tamarack (Larix laricina): Bark and twigs can be brewed into a tea with a green, earthy flavor. Pine species (Pinus strobus, Pinus banksiana, Pinus virginiana): all pine species have needles that can be made into tea, all similar flavor. Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana): mature, dark blue berries and young twigs may be made into tea or cooked with, similar in flavor to most other evergreen species. Pawpaw (Asimina triloba): edible fruit, often described as a mango/banana flavor hybrid. Sassafras (Sassafras albidum): root used to make tea, formerly used to make rootbeer. Similarly flavored, but much more earthy and bitter. Leaves have a spicier, lemony taste and young leaves are sometimes used in salads. Leaves are also dried and included in file powder, common in Cajun and Creole cooking. Northern Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis): Ripe, purple-brown fruits are edible and sweet. Red Mulberry (Morus rubra): mature red-purple-black fruit is sweet and juicy.

  • Effects of Pollen and Resources on Seed Number and Other Fitness Components in Amelanchier Arborea (Rosaceae: Maloideae) 1
    Amer. J. Bot. 75(9): 1275-1285. 1988. EFFECTS OF POLLEN AND RESOURCES ON SEED NUMBER AND OTHER FITNESS COMPONENTS IN AMELANCHIER ARBOREA (ROSACEAE: MALOIDEAE) 1 DAVID L. GORCHOV2 Department of Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 ABSTRACT Most Amelanchier arborea flowers have 10 ovules, but the number of filled (embryo-con­ taining) seeds per fruit is usually less than 10 and is highly variable within each individual plant. Because fruit developmental time correlates with seed number, this variation in seed number results in asynchronous fruit ripening. Field experiments tested whether seed number was pollen- or resource-limited. Manipulation of resources in the shoot at the time of fruit initiation by defoliation, girdling, fruit thinning, or foliar feeding had no significant effect on seed number per fruit, although fruit set and seed weight were affected. Supplemental cross­ pollination also had no demonstrable effect on seed number. Most ovules that do not become filled seeds are visible as small "undeveloped seeds"; these are not necessarily aborted seeds as this was also the fate of ovules in unpollinated carpels. Alternative hypotheses for the deter­ mination of seed number are proposed and discussed. THE NUMBER OF SEEDS that mature per fruit is few developing seeds are more likely to abort variable in many plant species and has several than those with many seeds (see reviews by important ecological, evolutionary, and hor­ Stephenson, 1981; Stephenson and Bertin, ticultural implications.
