Perennial

Height 1.5 m 3 ft

Wild Licorice is an erect perennial that grows to 1 - 1.5 m tall, from deep, woody rhizomes that has a licorice flavour. The leaves are alternate, each with 7 - 21 oblong leaflets. The flowers are yellowish-white, in spike-like clusters from the leaf axils. Fruit consists of oblong brown pods that are covered with long hooked prickles.

The sweet-tasting roots of wild licorice were once important medicine to the Great Plains Native Americans, for many conditions including diarrhea, stomach ache, toothache, coughs, sore throat, fever, and the flu. The rhizome was traditionally roasted in coals, pounded to remove tough fibers from the center of the rhizome, and eaten. The rhizome can be eaten raw or roasted - when slow roasted they are said to taste like sweet potatoes.  The compound responsible for the sweetness is glycyrrhizin, a substance 50 times as sweet as sugar. Wild licorice is also used as a flavouring for root beer and chewing tobacco, but it is possible that its market share could be increased with the proper promotion as a natural sugar substitute whereas, most 'licorice' candy in North America is flavoured with anise oil, wild licorice has a unique market potential as a natural sugar substitute, due to growing concerns over side effects of other synthetic sugar substitutes. Any product is unsafe if consumed in excess- licorice over-consumption is dangerous for people with high blood pressure or liver disease. Wild licorice has also been tested as a feed additive for cattle and hogs.

Each attractive bright yellowish to white flower clusters are pollinated by insects during the late summer. The flower is replaced by an oblong green pod, about ½ in long, covered in hooked bristles and containing a few seeds. As the pods ripen the color changes to coppery brown, then dark brown. The pods remain through the winter; harvest when dried and store for future planting. Note: hard seeds need to be scarified or soaked in cold water overnight to break the seed coat prior to planting.

  • Sun
  • Average to moist soil
  • In late fall or early spring, direct sow the treated seed 1/4 in deep.
  • OR start the seeds indoors, in a flat or individual pots 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost; keep the soil lightly moist and at a temperature of 70 degrees F until germination. Transplant seedlings out when all risk of frost has passed and when they are strong enough to handle.
  • Germinates typically within 2 weeks.
  • Spacing: 3 ft
  • Harvest: The roots and stolens are harvested in the fall of the 3rd or 4th year, before the plants have gone to seed. Flowers should be pinched off as they form in the year of harvest. The roots are dried and crushed, then boiled to evaporate off the liquid, leaving a thick black paste or solid. Yields are 2.5 to 5 tons/acre (5.5 to 11 tonnes/ha).

Great ipad
Style: Wi-Fi, Size: 128GB, Color: Blue, Configuration: Without AppleCare+
I recently purchased the Apple iPad 11-inch with the A16 chip, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance. The speed and responsiveness are outstanding, whether I’m browsing the internet, streaming videos, handling work tasks, or using multiple apps at once. The 11-inch display is bright, crisp, and provides excellent color quality, making it perfect for watching movies, reviewing documents, and viewing photos. The battery life easily lasts throughout the day, even with heavy use. The A16 chip delivers smooth performance with virtually no lag, making multitasking effortless. Apps open quickly, and everything runs seamlessly. The lightweight design makes it easy to carry around, whether for business, school, or travel. The camera quality is impressive for video calls and document scanning, and the overall build quality feels premium, as expected from Apple. Overall, the Apple iPad 11-inch with the A16 chip is an excellent investment for anyone looking for a powerful, reliable, and versatile tablet. It combines speed, portability, and ease of use into one outstanding device. Highly recommended!

Clear display
Style: Wi-Fi, Size: 128GB, Color: Blue, Configuration: Without AppleCare+
I got this to replace an old iPad Pro. It does everything my old pro did, except for having a smaller screen. Good value and set up and migration from old iPad was super easy. Good battery life and so far playing games on it haven't been an issue

New Ipad
Style: Wi-Fi, Size: 256GB, Color: Yellow, Configuration: Without AppleCare+
Nice size with a nice clear picture. Replaced a very old iPad. Not all apps and things transferred like the iPhone. But very manageable with a little time. So far I am pleased with this iPad.

Its Great! Except one tiny detail

Ipad works great, easy to set up and everything transferred from the cloud from a backup I had (thank god because my other ipad is completely dead). Everything is in order except they put the magnets in the wrong spot xD. It doesnt matter functionality wise and I feel its more hassle to exchange than its worth so I am going to keep the iPad. With the case its in it doesnt really matter because theres a spot already for the pen. 4/5 stars
