7-16 Indian Hemp, Pokeweed

7-16

Indian Hemp is an inhabitant of shores and thickets. When dried the stem of this plant yields fibers that can be fashioned into cordage.


Moist soils foster Pokeweeds. The young shoots of Poke are edible but the root of this plant and possibly the berries are poisonous.
