I had to google, I just knew they were medicinals but didn't know what for... you're almost always safe with herbs saying "for female complaints". We must try anything for a complaining female  :D

I noticed they are related to Lilly of the Valley, we had a buyer through a few years ago that wanted us to plant that for herbal remedies. Another medicinal aside, Michelle just finished flagging 300 black cohosh plants in the woods for harvest, she'll flag another 100 before the tops die back and then go harvest in a month or so, snapping off a node and replanting that to start the replacements. All of our 'sang had been poached years ago but a bird or the seed bank must have produced one. That is the big money root but it is hard to protect from poachers. I like to just know there are a few plants carrying on.

They were looking for more growers a year or two ago.

We used to have a place where we could pick bushels of elderberries (un-cleaned). We picked there for years. Then one late August, we went to check the crop, and that summer they had widened the old gravel road and prepaired it for paving and completely obliterated the couple of hundred yard long patch that ran along the ditch.
