Edible wild plants road trip - collecting bamboo shoots in Japan

Please visit us at: http://botanyboy.org/ Early in May this year we went on a road trip to collect and prepare wild bamboo shoots in southern Japan. Usually moso bamboo, Phyllostachys edulis is the favored species to collect, but we were a couple weeks late to find good shoots, so we had to settle for henon bamboo shoots, Phyllostachys nigra v. henonis. We also came across a few other wild edible plants including the Japanese angelica tree, Aralia elata, Japanese pepper tree, Zanthoxylum piperitum and Japanese sweet coltsfoot, Petasites japonicus. Come along and see the real traditional side of Japan. Music: Ghosts of California by Wes Hutchinson
