Note
Additional Notes
- Native to Ontario and the rest of Canada. The aromatic fruits are used fresh or dried to flavour soups, stews and sometimes put in beer to improve flavour and increase foaming. The dried leaves make a delicate tea. Wax from the fruit's pulp is used in candle making and a fragrant essential oil can be extracted from the fruit. The bark can be used to dye wool.
